Texas based Hennessey Special Vehicles has begun production of the 300+ mile per hour Venom F5 coupe. However, for those automotive enthusiasts that prefer an open air experience, some exciting news may be on the horizon. Hennessey has begun building a hard top roadster prototype which is scheduled to enter the testing phase before the year is up.
With uncompromising performance in mind, the Venom F5 Roadster prototype is set to be made from an ‘all-new, light-weight carbon fiber tub’ to enhance structural soundness. And a newly realized carbon fibre chassis crafted in the United Kingdom by Delta Motorsport will also insure additional strength and uncompromising performance.
Well, I’m sure many of you are wondering when exactly can we potentially expect the Venom F5 Roadster to enter production. Based on what we know from Hennessey’s latest announcement; the company will consider offering the Roadster to their discerning clientele after deliveries commence for the coupe early next year. This will likely mean that the Roadster would potentially enter production in 2021; as the company’s 36,000 square foot workshop will be highly focused on constructing coupes all through most of 2020.
The $1.6 million USD Venom F5 coupe is limited to just 24 examples. Hennessey has stated that if the F5 Roadster enters production that the model would be limited to 24 units like the coupe, however, the roadster’s price will be more expensive than the F5 coupe.
