Hennessey Venom F5 test driver ‘walked away’ from 250mph crash

In a recent incident at the Kennedy Space Center, a test driver survived a high-speed crash at 250mph in a Hennessey Venom F5 prototype. The crash occurred during testing of a new aerodynamic setup for the hypercar. The driver escaped unharmed, and the prototype sustained damage to body panels but remained intact. The aerodynamic kit was designed to push the car to speeds over 300mph, indicating Hennessey's focus on a top speed run. John Hennessey expressed gratitude to the team for their efforts in building a robust vehicle, and stated that they will analyze the aerodynamic data to determine the cause of the incident. This highlights the challenges and risks involved in pushing the boundaries of speed and performance in the field of transportation.
