    Hennessey Venom F5 Is Official And Wants To Hit 300 MPH

    Last we spoke about the new creation from Hennessey Performance, we mentioned they had targeted the 300 mph top speed and now that it is official we can confirm they want to hit the Bugatti Chiron out the park.

    • Four years in the making
    • Built from the ground up and sits on a bespoke carbon tub
    • In-house twin-turbo 7.4-litre V8 that sends a whopping 1600 horses to the rear wheels
    • Weighs in at 1,360 kg (much lighter than the Chiron)
    • Vmax mode = rear wing is lowered and flaps are deployed to plug ducts above the front spoiler to improve aerodynamics.
    • Big Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes
    • 24 units being produced
    • Price tag of $1.6 million

    The numbers predicted when in maximum attack are monstrous; 0–186mph in under 10secs (that’s quicker than Lewis Hamilton’s F1 car), 0–249mph in under 20secs and a top speed of 301mph.

    “Tyres are a limiting factor for Bugatti,” John Hennessey says. “But I don’t believe they’re a limiting factor for us. When we do our math, we know that we are not overloading them. We’re not even close to the load specification of the tyres at our speeds.”

    If you are at SEMA in Las Vegas, you will see a prototype Venom F5 and they will begin testing in Texas next year. When someone crazy enough is ready to attempt the top speed is unknown but according to Hennessey Performance, it is theoretically possible.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
