Hennessey Venom F5 vs SSC Tuatara Hennessey has been iterating its ambitious goal of reaching 300 mph ever since the Venom F5 was announced. Now, it seems that founder John Hennessey isn’t content with that. “Currently our CFD testing and our engineers tell us we need about 1,520 horsepower to break 300,” Hennessey told Motor Authority . “I’d like to run 500 kph. Which is 311 and change.” But Hennessey isn’t the only American supercar company eyeing for the 300 mph mark. West Richland, Washington-based SSC is also bullish on its intentions to crack the golden number. Its latest hypercar, the Tuatara is powered by a twin-turbo 5.9-liter V8 engine producing 1750 hp which is more than the F5’s 1600 hp. At 0.279, the Tuatara’s body also boasts a lower drag coefficient than Venom F5’s 0.33. The Tuatara is claimed to weigh just 1279 kg while the F5 weigh 1338 kg.
