This New Jersey dealership was offered a $1.8M Hennessey Venom F5 but chose to decline it.
The Hennessey Venom F5 is a supercar that is known for its sheer power and speed.
But, after being presented with the chance to bring a model to their shop floor, these car dealers simply didn’t want to know.
In fact, the guys at the dealership had a whole list of cars they’d rather buy than the speedy Venom F5.

This dealership was given the chance to own a $1,8M Hennessey Venom F5
The Hennessey Venom F5 is no ordinary supercar.
This impressive vehicle can pump out 1817hp and has a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 engine powering it to a maximum torque level of 1193lb-ft.
The car is up high on any gearhead’s dream car wishlists, but surprisingly, when one car dealership was offered the chance to own one, they decided to decline the rare opportunity.
George Saliba and @jsautohousegroup shared the ordeal over on Instagram.
“We were just offered our first hypercar, it’s not the most exciting one, my brother isn’t really about it,” he said.
“He already has a bid of $1.8 million.”
The camera then panned to another guy at the dealership who said: “Send us something better than a Hennessey, send us a Chiron. Get us something we can actually sell.”
“What would you rather buy, a Bugatti or a Venom?” he asked after listing other supercar manufacturers, including McLaren and Porsche, that were deemed more desirable.
They then went on to explain how they weren’t fans of ‘American Muscle’, however, they would still buy it, just not a variation consisting of the Venom F5.
Online, gearheads were impressed with the car
After seeing the guys at the dealership underwhelmed by the car, other car enthusiasts had lots to say about the $1.8M Hennessey Venom deal they were missing out on.
“Venom over Bugatti honestly,” said one user.
“The Venom is so much more unique than anything else. How could you pass that up, it’s an 1800hp monster,” asked another gearhead.
“I’ve seen all of them. The Hennessy is just different. I’d take the Hennessy over the rest,” added another car enthusiast.
It’s no surprise that car fans love the Venom F5.
After all, the supercar was named after the highest tornado threat level due to its sheer power.
Plus, we’ll bet you didn’t know that the $3m Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster was even poised to be the fastest convertible in the world.
