My FH5 Log: Acid Downpour

The Category 5 hurricane has sustained wind speeds of over 157mph and such destructive force can leave its victims homeless for weeks and months. This is why the folks of Hennessey created their ultimate masterpiece that will leave the world's fastest hypercars inhabitable in its wake; the Venom F5, one of the cars you can drive in the FH5 Hot Wheels expansion.


Those who have conquered the Hot Wheels Goliath and traveled the entire map are worthy enough to drive the Texan Force Majeure capable of ripping through every speed record like a chaotic hurricane. If you're brave enough to drive it, you will be unstoppable.


So, what's it all about the F5? Not Fast Five, Venom F5. Unveiled at the 2017 SEMA Show as a concept and then in full-blown production form four years later, the Venom F5, named after the most powerful tornado speed winds on the Fujita scale, is an all-new hypercar designed and built from scratch to become the world's fastest hypercar ever made. Unlike its predecessor, it features an all-original design chassis, and carbon fiber body in the hopes of achieving the lowest possible drag of 0.33. 

Powering the Venom F5 is a newly-developed Fury 6.6L V8 Twin Turbo engine that produces a monstrous 1,817hp of power output while mated to a 7-speed single-clutch paddle-shift transmission. Weighing at 3,053lb, the Venom F5 is capable of hitting 0-186mph in less than ten seconds and zero to 249mph, and back to rest will be under 30 seconds. It has a potential top speed of 311mph.

24 of these units will be made, each costing 2.1 million US Dollars, and all of them are sold out afterward.


At the moment you floor it, you have no time to talk about how fast this Venom is because frankly, this hypercar is too fast for words. At straight-line speeds, its capability to break through the 300mph top-speed barrier is more than enough to blow your minds off and because of its use of excessive force, you need to have the reflexes of an ace fighter pilot to survive driving the Venom F5. Such recoil is punishing enough for an unskilled driver playing around like boys with toys. But this isn't a boy toy, this is a real hypercar made for the world's most elite drivers ready to take the punishment from it.


Time to unleash its acid downpour as the Venom F5 prepares for a full warzone against a couple of supercars gathering around the life-size Hot Wheels track. Let's see if it can do the impossible. Roll the VTR.


Mind-blowingly quick and powerful. I guess the legends are true.


Like the Category 5 hurricane it was inspired from, the Hennessey Venom F5 has the destructive force that will leave the world's fastest hypercars inhabitable in its wake. It truly is the most terrifying Force Majeure ever to come out from the Lone Star state. 

Facing this monster machine is like fighting a tornado with your bare hands. Approach with extreme caution because when the Venom F5's in play, there's no chance of surviving this shot.

Start praying...
