The Hennessey Venom F5, also known as Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster is a mid-engined hypercar built as the successor to the Venom GT.
Overview[]
Text originally from Hennessey Performance's website
Hennessey® Special Vehicles, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer, has released details of its Venom F5 Roadster ahead of the new car’s global debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in Monterey, California.
The Venom F5 Roadster is based on the Hennessey® Venom F5 Coupe – the two are nearly identical mechanically – yet distinguishing the Venom F5 Roadster from its fixed-roof sibling are several attributes that set the open-air model apart – physically, cosmetically, and emotionally.
Mid-mounted in the carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is Hennessey®’s celebrated twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter, ‘Fury’ V8 engine rated at an astonishing 1,817 bhp. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a robust automated single-clutch gearbox. With a dry weight of under 3,100 pounds, the Venom F5 Roadster promises phenomenal performance… and an engineered top speed exceeding 300 mph.
Hennessey® expects the Venom F5 Roadster to surpass the company’s own ‘world’s fastest convertible’ record – 265.6 mph – currently held by the Hennessey® Venom GT Spyder.
The Venom F5 Roadster features a new tempered glass engine viewing window. This panel, in the middle of the rear engine cover, spotlights the massive ‘Fury’ V8 engine in all its glory. Its engineering was no simple task – developed and certified for use in jet aircraft. The sizeable glass panel can withstand aerodynamic forces exceeding 300 mph and temperatures beyond 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (540 degrees Celsius). The detail is extraordinary – the engine viewing window is encapsulated within a removable carbon fiber engine cover that features intricately-milled heat extraction holes that match those in the rear bumper. Additional heat extraction is achieved by dual aluminum air vents, four on each side of the glass panel, which match the vents behind each front wheel.
The Roadster is further distinguished from its coupe sibling by its unique wheels. Forged from aluminum alloy and then milled to perfection, the lightweight wheels feature seven pairs of spokes, each resembling an elongated Hennessey® ‘H’. Milled into the outer face of each wheel rim is the ‘Hennessey’ script, mirrored by the ‘Roadster’ script on the opposite side. Owners may opt to upgrade the Hyper Silver wheels to highly polished aluminum – this exclusive finish requires a painstaking process of hand polishing that takes weeks to complete. The wheels are secured with five titanium nuts, an alloy revered for its strength, heat tolerance, corrosion resistance, and extremely low mass.
The Venom F5 Roadster will be manufactured in Texas in an exclusively low volume of just 30 units (this approach of guaranteeing a unique ownership experience saw the 24-unit Venom F5 Coupe production run sell out shortly after its appearance at Monterey Car Week in 2021). Roadster production begins in late 2022, with validation of the model’s high-speed capabilities set to occur as the production rate levels out.
Hennessey® Special Vehicles has priced the new Venom F5 Roadster at $3 million, with each of the 30 personalized examples individually commissioned to its owner.

Performance[]
It has a very high top speed (around 500km/h at stock), surpassing the SSC Tuatara, Koenigsegg Jesko, and Bugatti Bolide but slower than the Devel Sixteen. Its acceleration is also decent while having abysmal nitro efficiency. However, it has very sharp drifting and is more "floaty" than both the aforementioned cars. With these traits, the Hennessey Venom F5 is the second fastest car in the game, behind the Devel Sixteen.

The car was available again in Drive Syndicate 8: Future Sparks, after reaching 675,000, the player would receive
25 blueprints for the car. If the player did not have any Blueprints for the car, it would make the car almost impossible to unlock and max due to being an 85 bp car, in which the player might have to spend all their Syndicate Coins up to the point where the player won't have any Syndicate Coins left to unlock or even max the car, therefore making the event impossible to progress.
Asphalt 8: Airborne[]

Performance[]
The Hennessey Venom F5's performance is based on the Hennessey Venom GT, with better acceleration, handling, drifting and nitro efficiency.
The Hennessey Venom F5's performance has been altered 4 times between the 2024 Christmas Update and the 2025 Spring Update
- Prior to the official announcement by a Gameloft's Community Manager, the data file of the car was already added in the beginning of the 2024 Christmas Update. This version of the F5 featured a massive high raw top speed, with 500.0 km/h without a Tuning Kit and 505.0 km/h with a Tuning Kit. As a trade off, the nitro speed of the car is the lowest of all vehicles in the game at the time, with 2.7 km/h without a Tuning Kit and 3.0 km/h with a Tuning Kit. The F5 was managed to go at the speed of 506.0 km/h at
with a Tuning Kit with level 1 nitro, something no other cars after the rebalance can do. As a result, the F5 Roadster was able to take the corner at the beginning of Clifftop Run with ease.
- After the official announcement, the performance of the F5 has been changed. Now with a total speed of 509.2 km/h at
with a Tuning Kit, the Hennessey Venom F5 has the highest total top speed of all cars that can be legitimately obtained in the game after the rebalance (second highest of all vehicles, behind the Dodge Tomahawk - an S1860
bike, with 526.0 km/h + Supercharged level 3). However, one thing to note is that this car's raw top speed without Tuning Kit, while higher than those of the SSC Tuatara, Koenigsegg Agera RS, is significantly lower than the likes of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, Bugatti Bolide, Koenigsegg Jesko, Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut. Therefore it is highly recommended to always use a Tuning Kit on this car in order to achieve maximum performance.
- At the beginning 2025 Spring Update, the F5's performance has been nerfed, with its total speed is now at 509.0 km/h at
with Tuning Kit, the same as the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut. Its nitro speed is reduced from 11.7 km/h to 11.5 km/h and its nitro efficiency has been slightly nerfed.
- On March 11, 2025, during the aforementioned update, the same Gameloft's Community Manager announced that the version at the beginning of the update was turned out to be a bug, with a hotfix on the same day restored its nitro speed back to the original one. In addition, its raw top speed has been buffed to 500.1 km/h at
with Tuning Kit. Now, with a total speed of 511.8 km/h, this version of the F5 has surpassed the previous version as the car with the highest total speed of all cars in the entire game that can be legitimately obtained after the rebalance
Overall, the F5 can be described as a direct upgrade to the Venom GT and can be used in any position in Gauntlet. In World Series, if drive properly, the Venom F5 is a dominant car in the S1858 ~ S1865 bracket.
