The American Hypercar was More Powerful than Planned: 1817 Horsepower

Bugatti Chiron.

MAXIM - At the moment, the title of the fastest production car on the planet holds Bugatti Chiron. You can say, just the other day, or rather, on August 2, 2019, the British pilot Andy Wallace managed to accelerate the hypercar to officially confirmed 490.48 km / h. Cool, what can I say. But even steeper is the fact that this achievement is already at risk.

Texas millionaire John Hennessey and his tuning company Hennessey Special Vehicles are committed to throwing the Bugatti from the roost of the world's fastest car. It was for this purpose that the Americans built the Venom F5 hypercar. Its name does not send us to the browser reload button on your keyboard at all, no, in this case F5 is a hint at the so-called Fujita scale, ranking the destructive power of hurricanes. And F5 here, as you know, the most, the most.

It was expected that the final version of the Venom F5 hypercar with a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8, first announced back in 2017, will have a capacity of about 1,600 hp. To throw the Bugatti glove, you need no less ... But the reality turned out to be even cooler. Just introduced Hennessey hypercar, as it turned out, develops all 1817 hp! Such a normal application for a record. John Hennessey himself has already promised that the first approaches to the Shiron record will begin before the end of this year.
