This article is about the Hennessey Venom F5, you may be looking for its predecessor, Hennessey Venom GT. For the roadster variant of the Venom F5, see Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster (2023).
Overview
The 2021 Hennessey Venom F5 (formerly known as the 2022 Aurelian Enigma T, Henray Poison T/Poison F5) is an American sports car that was originally added in the release of Wayfort in its ALPHA stage back in November 2019. It was then given a whole remesh with the ability to open its doors, new bodykits, and a new interior on December 23, 2021. Players could purchase this in the Cars & Motorcycles Dealership for $6,500,000.
This vehicle was remeshed on December 29, 2023, as Driving Empire acquired licensing rights from Hennessey Performance Engineering. As a result, this vehicle uses its real-life name, along with real-life badging, and an increased design quality. The car also features a new engine bay, which can be opened from the back. It was also given slightly buffed performance stats and a new price tag of $8,500,000.
This is a sports car developed by Hennessey Special Vehicles which was first unveiled back in August 2014. It has been claimed by the manufacturer that the Venom F5 can reach top speeds in excess of 300 mph (485 km/h) to attain the title of world's fastest production car ever made.
Performance
The Venom F5 is one of the best cars in DE, sporting an average time of mid-low 150's on the Circuit, dethroning the Pagani Huayra R and the now-removed Bugatti Bolide. Though it is disputed weather the F5 or the F5 Roadster is better. The F5 is one of the best cars on the Highway, due to having one of the highest top speed stats in the game. With its above average 0-60, you can expect to win a good amount of Drag races, but there are still other better vehicles to use for this race. However, the car does have its issues. The F5 oversteers a lot and tends to snap on the player to the point where it is neigh undrivable. With that said, this is not a beginner friendly vehicle and new/intermediate players should steer clear from both this and the standard F5 until they have the basics of the game down.
Bodykits
Bodykit customizations were added to the vehicle on December 23, 2021. There were two bodykit options that you could equip on the car before it was remeshed as a licensed vehicle.
| Name | Type | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Package | Body | $500,000 |
| Carbon Spoiler | Spoiler | $50,000 |

Trivia
- The original model that was added back in Wayfort was the Venom F5's concept model. The current one in-game is the current production model.
- The Venom F5's name derives from the the F5 tornado, the highest rating on the Fujita scale, attaining wind speeds as high as 261–318 mph (420–512 km/h).
- Whenever the player open the doors on the old model, a small piece of the door's meshpart would be shown.
- One inaccuracy to point out on the new Venom F5 model in-game is that its engine cover opens up like a trunk.
- In real life, the only way to physically remove the engine cover is to unscrew the screws, as it is mounted to the car.
- Like the SSC Tuatara models, players have more options to customize the Venom F5 (minus the wraps option and reduced number of options for car rims).
