World's Fastest Legal Street Car Is New Hennessey Venom F5
- 6 years ago
This may be the first commercial car that reaches 300 mph. All you need to buy it is a cool $1.6 million.
This new car comes 112 years after the 90 horsepower Napier became the first car to crack 100 mph, and 30 years after the Ferrari F40 broke 200. This newest car is Hennessey's Venom F5. It's got a 1,600 horsepower engine, and the company claims it can go from 0 to 186 mph in under 10 seconds. There's one catch — the car hasn't been tested yet, so it's unclear if the 300 mph claim is real or not.
Only 24 of these cars will be made, and Hennessey's founder plans to handpick the cars' new owners — from a list of people who can afford the asking price. So if you've got an in with the Hennessey family, now's the time to call in that favor.
