@@xzrex6908 YOU CARE! Enough to post this comment.
A brilliant demonstration of how a car video review should be done. Rory still growing as an auto journalist / KZheadr if it ever was possible. Subscribed !
Alex S, this car is an absolute 10/10 for me.
Wow. The Venom F5 is absolutely stunning! I’m constantly impressed by the research and development breakthroughs in the automotive industry!
not only the fastest.. but one of best looking supercars.. great work hennessey
Reminds me of the lotus evija
Excellent review and choice to buck the trend of all other auto journalists and offer us a street level view of this very sharp looking ride. Every other review has only outlined the F5's power delivery on a straight run. Hat's off to Mr. Hennessey.
Mr henessey is a scammer + liar
Totally agree!
@@djbis DJ BIS, MAR vs CRO for the bronze final. Who will win? For me CRO.
Another well-done video. Great job Rory. This car is the stuff of legend. The Hennessey team should be very proud and know I am and I had nothing to do with this car's development. I too am proud it exists. BTW, I am been following this car for a while but Rory's great explanation of its details makes me appreciate all the intentional engineering that went into it even me. Again, well done!
Rory, is the standard bearer! This car needed your real world review. Impressive car and even more impressive reviewer!
Makes me proud to be from Texas. Hennessy is just down the highway.
the car is literally designed and built in england
@Amarjit Singh Dhesi It is made by Delta Motorsport in England you can do some research if you want
@@Steven-re3id Its designed in the US and built in England. Big difference, just like iphones are designed in california and made in china. Manufacturing and assembly lines arent hard especially for a low volume car like this.
@@KG-kp3le you are wrong, Hennessy paid delta wing in England to design and manufacture the car the same as the Ford gt and multimatic in Canada, the only American thing the car has is the engine
@@Steven-re3id Jaguar and Land Rover must be Indian brands then
Rory is The Don of car reviews
The bespoke glove box for a 9mm and the gun barrel cerakote used for coating the exhaust bits shows how Texan this car is
The ceracote is for the outside of the barrel for weather protection and different colour options its not on the inside.
Rory does a thorough review. I thought Mich-PSC2 rubber couldn't handle 300mph. Hence why Bugatti had them bespoke.
probably with Bugatti it has to do with weight around 600-700kg heavier than f5 @300mph the math guys can tell us will be like weight of a tank kkk
It is otherwise the same as a cup 2. But there are layers of actual carbon fiber in the rubber of the tires used on the Super Sport 300+ for additional strength. And Michelin is ready to offer it.
it is 700kg heavier that's why
They might not be the tyre they intend to use for their top speed run
They cannot
Another well presented video Rory 👍 I was also going to mention the tyres and them not being rated for those speeds, glad that you did.
When i hear Rory asking "is 1800hp too much?", I start wondering, if people always questioned that. Like when the first car that had 100hp came out and could go like 50, if at all, have they been like: "Oh boy! Can you believe that? You can go to the grocery store in 5 minutes! Should this even be legal?!"
When we get flying cars
Jay Leno talks about it on his show. When the Viper first came out with 400HP, people marveled and believed there would never be a car with more horsepower built, ever…boy were they wrong!
1000+ hp should be the limit on road cars. Anything above that is a red alert for immediate fail. Not only safety concern but the mechanical integrity of handling the stress. No wonder why the 5000hp Devel hypercar is still a myth.
its not just about power but drivers skills also. Give this car to peasant and he will be crawling or crashing next minute.
@@J-_-S No shit, Sherlock. Give a 20 HP car to a 3 year old and he'll crash that as well.
Another great review from the best. Great way to start my morning. Thank you Rory.
so refreshing to listen to you: exactly THE things that are interesting for me. No silly screaming, no fooling around. TOP!!!!!!!
Finally an excellent well explained Hennessy FT presentation! Got a new sub! Very soon a million subscribers, can't wait to see what you'll bring to to the table 🎉
2:12 This fly by is sooo good. The camera shake and exhaust sound 😍 Looks like it's a cutscene straight out of a video game.
It really makes you admire the engineering in the Chiron. A child could drive this car to 300mph in comfort and yet this thing is an animal just to get anywhere near it. Certainly hasn't got anywhere near the refinement but if they crack 310mph and force Bugatti to come back out of retirement, then I'm all up for it.
Nope, Bug ain't ever coming back. No profit in it. Even Koenigsegg have retired now
@@Kronos0999 They kept it well within its limits and tires
@@Kronos0999 This entire pursuit for speed is utterly pointless
People care about acceleration more and top speed less nowadays
@@xzrex6908 not really. Practically yeah it's pointless but financially it's a jackpot for manufacturers. Charge 7 figures or whatever all the rich guys will want one because it's the fastest
Just an incredible video Rory - your presentations are supreme and so enjoyable!
this makes sense, I also thought that the f5 was slow in the topgear video, thanks Rory for the explanation!
10:45 good point about the TCS. A well designed traction control can make even very high HP RWD cars launch and stick like they have AWD now. Just look at what Nth Moto and Calvo can do with Motec TCS on Vipers that have way more power than the F5 and can still hook up and pull hard at 50mph.
Great video mate👌
Effing love everything, from the car to the presentation. Y'all are just too good man!
Beautiful and thank you for opening up the caption. Its one of the little things that keep us glued. , sub for life.
Hell yeah! Merica 🇺🇸 🇺🇸!! I've ALWAYS loved Hennessey
the car is literally designed and built in england
What are you talking about , as far as i know only the external composit chassi was design and built in England, is that the whole car? Where was was the engine made , and the interior and rest of the car ? So how does it work ? The car is fully assemble in Texas and acording to you that means that they built it complety and then disassemble it to be shiped to the states ? So a complety mounted car can't be transported ?
Rory, fantastic review, really good to see the real you having been released from the heavily scripted Top Gear. Keep doing what you're doing!
Excellent review, well done👏
Another awesome review! Absolutely top quality!
Bonkers but brilliant ! Great video, many thanks 😊
Inconel exhaust valves is pretty impressive. That stuff is redicuolously hard to machine and has some incredible properties. That and the entire monel line of amalgams are the best metal for corrosion resistance known.
I have never been in love for years and now I do. Thank you Hennessey Venom F5!
I love your videos, thank you for making them.
Just wow ur the best reviewer
The fact they even made the badge 2D to maximize airflow is just nuts
Why is that nuts? This is like the 100th car to do thia
All about speed, good review 👍🏾💯
I absolutely love your reviews
Not only this car is a true hurricane on the road , add to it Rory in the presentation and you're good to go for an absolutely epic video, and of course huge thanks to the camera crew for their unbelievable job of delivering an outstanding shot !
Manual steering in a modern supercar is awesome, but I would definitely prefer a full steering wheel with that kind of steering heft.
Sick review!
Thanks for your time my friend
Seriously the most impressive car ever. I mean those seats, are you kidding. And the fact they put pieces of a space shuttle in the key fob. Absolutely outlandish. Dream car right here! 🤘
Good luck driving it
@@captain_context9991 Is it ironic someone from Britainistan is crying about 'murica.
Impressive vehicle..but Koenigsegg is far better
I’d say the Bugatti and the Kioneseggs are more impressive to me
Incoming triggered Europeans 😂
Just Amazing all around. Good on you AutoTrader , Mr.Reid and the AutoTrader team !
These videos are so damn good, well done Rory 👏
Like someone else said I see rory I click I don't I thumbs down, I don't mean anything mean by that. Just my personal preference and opinion Rory is why this channel is being viewed atm. Ofc who made it famous before idk I only discovered this channel to follow rory when he wasn't in top gear which is a shame So thank top gear and rory for me and other new subscribers Good video, I admire Hennessey drive to make his own niche in today's hypercar world. Not my thing but respect to him
"aluminum, 8 microns thick" so basically they used some tin foil ...but microns sounds more impressive, I'll give you that.
Really thin aluminum foil that'd be completely useless in the kitchen
It's half the thickness of standard household aluminum foil, and about a third of the heavy duty stuff. I think it's impressive to be able to form the badge out of that material. Probably very difficult and takes many failed attempts each time.
Hi Rory....can't wait for you to get your hands on the new Ford Mustang Dark Horse 2024. Looking forward to it!
I need a bib!!! I can't stop drooling!! Gorgeous!!
Man you get around nice presentation 👍🏾😎
Be interesting to see this in a drag race with the new Rimac as Matt on Carwow did 0-177mph (285kph) in 8.6 seconds in a real world test
I want to see this drag race the SSC Tuatara
@@toxicgracie3772 I feel the venom would loose to both. That Rimac is Scary
@@samsolis92781 Rimac most likely wins 0-200mph but after 200mph I'd put my money on the Tuatara or Venom
The Rimac would slaughter the Venom on account of being AWD. Beyond 200 mph.....the Rimac gets slaughtered. Electric motors have punch, but not the top-end push to outrun the most top-heavy ICE powerbands. At least, not yet.
@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 every other EV yes but the Rimac has maximium torque all the way to 258mph, where the SSC and the Venom can both top that speed easily but has a gearing ratio that slows the rate of acceleration to achieve the top speed. On speed the Rimac is said to be about 7 years ahead of all other EV’s (including Tesla) technology, that why VW Audi/Porsche gave them the entire Bugatti business lock stock and barrel for access to their tech
Beautiful design. Love the ethos of the car
Great video review mate ! And to answer or explain the roads not being long enough, in America there is plenty of highways or freeways that racers use to open up the iron lungs of the mighty v8
Like damn, the intro you killed it!!!❤
This car looks AMAIZING
Ferrari take note.. Not that ugly arrow on the hood design. And I'm a big prancing horse fan.
This car is just insaaaaaaaaaaaaane!!!! And Rory is just brilliant as always. 😊
Liked the video before watching it completely 👍👍
Oen of the top car KZheadrs in the world. Keep it up Rory
This is the epitome! This is the definition! Don't tell me there is anything that beats this ultimate of all sport cars. The only American car in the group of hyper cars.
well yeah the Chiron, haven't you herd of it?
@@rneoman It seems like English language is not your forte.
american car designed and built in England 😂
A yoke might be a great idea if it the turning ratio was progressive so that it felt normal most of the time but you had full lock when necessary without needing to take either hand off the wheel.
Great review👏👏👏 I have only watched the intro by the way
Another Rory Special 🎊 🎉 🔥
I think at this point you can consider me a Rory "Fanboy" cos I'm already smiling at the voice over at the beginning...
love the video, Rory is good. dope car also😃
That’s epic! Nice video!
this is literally the car i've been waiting for
Interesting car. But the Hennessey name has been ruined for me ever since he scammed Viper owners years ago. If I wanted a very special car, I'd go with Koenigsegg
Great review as usual
It Flunked the Goodward Hill Climb, Both in the Wet and Dry.. at the Goodward Festival of Speed.. Koenigsegg thrashed it...
I like your intro today better, great job
Beautiful car, love it. The led daytime running lights in the headlamp look cheap though, they should have used a continuous linear led design instead of early 2000s style led dots spaced out.
Rory made my 27th of September with this one.
Happy 27th September, bro. -Rory
Fantastic video Rory. Love the work champ. Ben Perth West Coast Aus
g'day
I've been waiting for this car for 6 years. It's finally here, and it's even cooler than I thought it'd be
Interesting & informative 💎
Rory you rock sir!

@@graemejohnson9025 source: trust me bro
In world where so much is becoming EV, it's very refreshing to see cars like this, bravo.
Visceral ❤. Thanks for these Rory. Quick question please, where was this shot?
Love or hate it , it is an amazing bit of automotive engineering. I think it is fantastic
This car is quicker to 300 than my car is to 100...
John claimed 15 to 400 kph also lol. That's when you know it's made up
@Amarjit Singh Dhesi after 3 months your still sending me multiple comments? Let it go . Calm down
@Amarjit Singh Dhesi More insults , your clearly upset here judging by you dismissal and insults .
Great car ..but still want to see that top speed claim.
Man that is sooo fast!i love your video!
i like this guy. great Presentation of a Monster on 4 Wheels 👍 subscribed!
Can a badge really affect air flow 🤔 to the point where the desired speed is not reached, i.e will removing a badge contribute to increased speed
yeah at higher speeds it will, for ex going 289 mph to 295 it will make a difference.... Air turbulence and things make huge difference at higher speeds. weight also does count a lot more at those speeds. having breakfast or not could be the difference is going 295 to 297 top speed, some budget airlines make you pee before boarding to save 300grams of liquid from each passengers body.... Apparently they save a lot of fuel on longer haul flights by doing that !!!!!
So claim a number that you haven't achieved. That's cool. On that note, my car is 2000hp.
Yeah true the speed is just PR nonsense at this point .
@@tarimatt3383 What's with Koenigsegg?
I appreciate that they didn't phone in the engine in this like they did in the Venom GT. If you go look up the details of this, you will recognize that to recreate it would be absolutely eyewateringly expensive. This is not just another LS engine. It's fitting of the price tag.
Love it in white, great job Rory!
I'd take Pagani Huayra for looks and stuff the engine for this Hennessy for performance... But Bugatti adds a cherry 🍒 on top with luxury and Comfort... So much to process to make a decision 🤣🤣
Rimac Nevera for me please.
Top speed: one thing 95% of people will never experience on the real road.
But accleration will
Over 95% of the people that buy one of these will never get it anywhere near V-max. At the end of the day, Hennessey specializes in selling vehicles to win dick measuring contests.
@@Briggsian 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "dick measuring contests, this one had me rolling. But yes, that's why electric cars are taking the crown, they shine less on top speed but acceleration, I do that every day in my car,from one street light stop to the next.
Oh my. That intro🎉🥳🔥🔥🔥🔥
It looks so light❤ I love it
Now there is a car that's worth every penny..... Bugatti, who ? 0 -62 mph = 2.6 sec 0 - 124 mph = 4.7 sec 0 - 186 mph = 8.4 sec Top speed = 310.69 mph HP per tonne = 1,311.9 HP All on the rear wheels.....meet the new widow maker.
@Alex Alexander Anderson BS? These are facts. I struggle to understand your comment as your comment seems to have NO factual bases. Are you saying the manufacturer's statements are B.S ?
@@mrharry8466 yes they are
Rimac Nevera would be great to measure where Venom stands
Great picture great production
That arrow in front of the wheel is to drive air into the brakes, keeping them as cool as possible. Just look at the placement of the exit channel above the arrow, it points the air directly at the inside of the top of the spokes. Once that are gets disrupted by the spokes, it would be a big cloud of air covering the entire brake assembly... Keeping it cool if they were trying to stop the air to flow around the wheel, they would just have the smoke covered by a flat plate, that would be mounted to a ball bearing, and waited at the bottom. Keeping it stationary, so it to can have arrow, allowing the air to pass by the wheels without causing any additional drag... Much like the McLaren Spoedtsil has.
Great review of a typical American fast car. Bombastic numbers without refinement.
it's definitely refined wtf are you talking about
@@william_SMMA if you can’t have a conversation in ur car hyper car at driving speed then mate it isn’t refined. That car will be great on a track, if the tyres hold up, but on a normal driving road ur going to suffer. It’s technically great to achieve some insane numbers but no it isn’t refined.
@@selectedevil same goes with the McLaren F1, Senna, F40, they're all loud inside.
@@DroneStrike1776 am not disagreeing. But they were also very much more than just top speed. So then the F5 needs to be evaluated from that point. The comparison point shouldn’t be the Chiron or any other modern hyper cars. For the record I think the F1 and the F40 are two of, if not, the greatest cars ever built so I don’t if that’s fair to the F5. Am not dissing the F5. I am just struggling to find where it sits.
@@DroneStrike1776 Yup, all unrefined garbage as well I suppose. By that logic, the C8 Corvette is a better and more complete sports car than the Enzo or Carrera GT as well.
The F5 is an exceptional car but the jesko absolute seems more refined.
chiron supersport is even more refined.
Chiron SS is king.
Keep bringing us new videos absolutely love it.
Nailed it again 🔥
looks 2 much like a kit car, 2 sqaured in the rear. an expensive street car should have a luxurious interior, as the interior in no way affects performance. it's way 2 racy inside, that thick boxy display is horrendous.
The owners haven't complained to anyone. Over 30 I've heard. And, your NOT one. So, bye.
I heard cars going 300mph before in PR talk. I need to see it to believe it, also this can't be good at high speeds being so small and light. At least we know the Bugatti is safe and scandal and also not a lotus .
Jesko could do it
@@7stiano123 Many cars have but I'm talking about the Hennessy which had a history of wild claims that it's hasn't met.
@Alex Alexander Anderson Dude stops following me around the comments. Koenigsegg has nothing to do with it.
@Valkyrie What's there to laugh at?? 🤡
@Alex Alexander Anderson Yes certainly Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut definitely has the ability, more hp and more aerodynamic than the Agera RS, two very important factors for top speed!!! And stop replying from multiple accounts, Mr. Valkyrie 007!!!!
Rory is just the best Loud and clear review Excellent work
The best car reviewer in Britain by far.
