Hennessey started deliveries of its Venom F5 hypercar last fall and now the company is just months out from unveiling a new open-top version.<\/p>\n

Hennessey on Tuesday announced the new Venom F5 Roadster and said the debut will take place on August 9. The car will then make a public appearance on Aug. 19 at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, one of the premier events of Monterey Car Week.<\/p>\n

No further details have been announced apart from the car featuring the same 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 as its coupe sibling, meaning a peak output of 1,542 hp on pump gas and as much as 1,817 on E85. The mighty engine, nicknamed the Fury, is mated to a 7-speed automated manual transmission in the Venom F5 and spins the rear wheels only.<\/p>\n

Teaser for Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster debuting on August 9, 2022<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Expect the Venom F5 Roadster to feature a removable roof panel, just like its Venom GT Spyder<\/a> predecessor. It isn’t clear whether any major modifications were required for removing the roof, though it’s likely the Venom F5’s bespoke carbon-fiber tub<\/a> was designed with the roofless option in mind.<\/p>\n

Performance of the convertible should match the coupe, meaning 0-62 mph acceleration in 2.6 seconds or less, and a top speed of over 300 mph. Hennessey quotes a top speed of 311 mph for the coupe, though the highest the company has taken it is 271.6 mph<\/a>. That was back in March and the company is planning additional runs.<\/p>\n

Hennessey will build just 24 examples of the coupe and we’ll likely see a similar production run for the convertible, though Hennessey hasn’t confirmed this just yet. Interestingly, Hennessey has previously hinted at launching a high-downforce model<\/a> designed for short lap times instead of high top speeds, so we could see even more versions of the Venom F5 at some point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
