Hannah Elliott Save Share The Venom F5 has front fenders arched in a wolf snarl and a rear roofline ribbed like the back of some ancient reptile. The sides of its body are chiseled back to skeletal proportions; the quad cluster of rear tailpipes looks as if it might as well spew fire. It comes with a 6.6-litre twin-turbo 1817-horsepower V8 engine and a featherlight weight of 2998 pounds. And with an anticipated top speed of 500.5km/h, it could set a new record as the worldâs fastest car. The $US2.1 million ($2.7 million) coupe is considerably faster than the Hennessey Venom GT that set a 435.3km/h world record in 2014 and faster still than the Bugatti Chiron prototype, the current record holder at 3490.5km/h; the fastest production car right now is the Koenigsegg Agera RS at 447.2km/h).
