The Hennessey Venom F5 is so powerful it's named after the highest tornado threat level

This stunning 1,817 horsepower Hennessey Venom F5 is so powerful that it was named after the highest tornado threat. 

Supercar Blondie – our very own Alex Hirschi – was given the chance to get up close to the Hennessey Venom F5 and it really is a car unlike any other. 

The US-made sports car gets its name from the Fujita tornado scale, which puts F5 at the highest rating, with wind speeds between 420-512km/h (261-318mph) – Hennessey says the Venom F5 will hit speeds in excess of 500km/h (311mph), hence its name. 

The Venom F5 is packed full of incredible details, including a super-sized rear diffuser, open taillights that help to disperse heat from the engine, and there’s even some real gold on the V8 engine. Fancy and fast.
