    Hennessey Venom F5 Hit 200 mph During Testing On Half Power

    The Hennessey Venom F5 wants to break records and it seems some solid progress is being made after the car recently finished some testing.

    Hennessey Performance is exploring the aerodynamic properties of its Venom F5 hypercar in real-world situations and recently completed the first of three evaluation phases, achieving 200 mph in the process.

    Hennessey Performance Chief engineer John Heinricy was the man behind the wheel and he confirmed that the car reached the speeds with zero issues. More importantly, for this stage of testing, the twin-turbo 6.6-litre V8 engine was dialled back to 900 horses (671 kW) which is about half of the 1,817 hp (1,355 kW) for which the bonkers mill is rated.

    “Every part of our development program is focused on making the Venom F5 the best it can be before customer deliveries start towards the end of this year,” said Heinricy. “Our next phase is the most intense, concentrating on the car’s driving characteristics. We’ll split our testing between race tracks and Texas roads as we harvest data, refine every element, and perfect this monster of hypercars.”

    Testing will continue with the focus on driver feedback and handling but the testing with the engine unleashing its full grunt will occur in the final testing phase. Perhaps we will see them execute a few top speed runs at this time.

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

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
