The Venom F5 Revolution LF blends four hypercars into one jaw-dropping beast

This one-of-one Hennessey Venom F5 might be the boldest yet

You may think there couldn’t possibly be any more Hennessey Venom F5 variations, but you’d be wrong. The Texas-based manufacturer has just unveiled the “Venom F5 Revolution LF” at The Quail.

The “LF” is a “one of one” customer commission, which makes sense when you consider Hennessey is only planning on building 90 or so of the hypercars.

Speaking about the new vehicle, CEO John Hennessey said: “When our customers have a dream, we work to make their dreams come true – exceeding customer expectations is a badge of honor. Our new ‘Maverick’ division enables our customers to take our American Hypercar to a totally new dimension. I see it as the ultimate expression of the American Dream!”

What makes the Venom F5 Revolution LF unique?

The Venom F5 Revolution LF stands out in a few ways. It combines aspects of four current Venom F5 variants. The F5 “Revolution” is the track-focused variant of the base model. It has the manual gearbox you would only usually see in the F5-M Roadster. Then there’s the fact it has 2,031 bhp, a significant leap from “the standard” 1817 horsepower the Venom F5 usually comes with, and a feature usually unique to the Venom F5 Revolution Evolution — a variant that also made its debut at The Quail this year. Finally, there’s a lot of exposed carbon fiber on display, similar to what you see from the Venom F5’s “Stealth Series.”

In addition to the stick shift and excessively powerful “V8 Fury” engine, the F5 Revolution LF features the company’s new ‘XCell_2’ tub carbon monocoque, a redesigned center console with “H pattern” shifter, a new front splitter, reshaped dive planes, re-sculpted fender louvres, a new rear deck with integrated lip spoiler, and various other aerodynamic refinements.

McLaren and Motul develop bespoke lubricant to keep them on top
Motul uses McLaren Racing to test the limits of their formulas
Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

My first vehicle was a 1988 Ford Ranger. It was small, reliable, and the perfect first car. However, I wasn't allowed to park it in the driveway at home because it went through as much oil as it did gas. The leak was bad enough that I had to check and refill the oil once a week. The same cadence as the gas tank. That was where I learned the importance of fluids for cars. McLaren hits the Formula 1 tracks across the globe with that importance at the forefront of mind as they compete for the championship, and will now be teaming with Motul to take their collaboration for the world's most reliable lubricant to the world of endurance racing. From the high stress of speed in Formula 1 to the endurance of long-distance racing, the perfect bespoke lubricant is on the way.

McLaren was already using a very high-performance transmission fluid, with an extremely high level of requirements. Our challenge was to go even further: decrease friction losses even more while ensuring lubricant durability over time. The formulation developed with McLaren Racing has been validated to maintain its performance over several thousand kilometers under Formula 1 conditions. And this is only the beginning: in F1, cars are constantly evolving, and the formulation will continue to progress as well. - Julien Plet, Head of R&D at Motul.

Charles Leclerc emerges victorious as British Grand Prix ends in controversy
It's Charles Leclerc's first win in almost two years
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton

Charles Leclerc earned his first victory in almost two years for Ferrari. Unfortunately for him, all the chatter around the British Grand Prix will be about its controversial ending that resulted in the 175,000-strong crowd at Silverstone booing after they were denied a dramatic finish.

The record crowd at Silverstone was in for a thriller from the start, with Leclerc staking claim to the lead, followed by Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton behind him. 19-year-old phenom Kimi Antonelli didn't need long to take over Hamilton. And it seemed like Antonelli was positioning himself for a stunning sixth Formula 1 victory, taking the lead after Leclerc made a pit stop.
