Hennessey Performance has been making high-powered go-fast cars since 1991. They are best known for modifying American muscle cars and trucks like the Mustang, Camaro, Challengers, and even the Dodge Viper. In recent years, they have made headlines with their limited edition Venom range of supercars. First came the Venom GT in 2010, which set a top speed record of 270.49 MPH on the coupe and 265.57 MPH on the roadster, a record it still holds today. The Venom F5 is its successor, and aims to reach a top speed of 300MPH. With its limited production, it has attracted a popular buyer.

Famous people buy expensive cars all the time, so it’s not a big deal, unless you’re Michael Jordan. The famous basketball player is one of the best players of all time, and he has an impressive car collection. He needs a car that would match his status, and the American-made Hennessey Venom F5 would do just that. Although he owns expensive cars like the Bugatti Veyron, his Venom F5 Roadster might be the most expensive car in his collection.

In order to provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced directly from Hennessey.

Venom F5 Roadster Starts at $3 Million

The Hennessey Venom F5 is a limited edition car with a total of only 90 cars to be produced with a starting price of $2.1 million. But that price is for the coupe model. Roadster models are more expensive, with a starting price of around $3 million. These Roadster versions are even rarer than the coupe, and that’s why they are more expensive. But for someone like Michael Jordan, he wants nothing but the best, and he chose the most expensive version, which cost him 3.5 million dollars.

He bought the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Roadster, which is a clear top-of-the-line version of the Venom F5 that is faster and more track-oriented. The reason for choosing the Roadster version is because of its length. Tall people can sometimes find it difficult to fit into such vehicles. At six feet, six inches tall, MJ could never fit into the coupe version, so the Roadster was his natural choice. The Venom F5 Roadster Revolution also has many changes compared to the regular models.

Changes Made to the F5 Revolution Roadster

For starters, John Hennessy has said that each F5 will be unique to its owner and no two cars share the same visual specifications. This car has some visual, mechanical, and aerodynamic changes made to it. Being a Roadster, the F5 has a removable hardtop that turns the car into a convertible when off and gives it an open look.

Since it is a track-oriented car, there are many visual changes made for the improvement of aerodynamic strength. These include:

Large front and back panels
Strong dive planes ahead
Large rear wing
A medium air scoop mounted on top.

All of these changes improve the car’s power as the roof scoop feeds fresh air into the engine, especially when the roof is off. There were some technical changes to go along with the improved downforce, which included re-suspension, new lighter wheels, and even a track telemetry system, to record and improve your lap times.

Breaking speed records requires a very powerful engine and, in traditional American fashion, the Venom F5 is powered by a large displacement engine. It’s powered by a 6.6-liter pushrod twin-turbo V-8 known as the FURY. It is the most powerful American production car in history with a capacity of 1,817 horses. While most fast cars use all-wheel drive to transfer that power to the road, the Venom F5 is rear-wheel drive only. All that power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed single-clutch automatic transmission.

The combination of a pushrod design and a traditional airplane crank setup makes this car almost like a regular V-8. Most cars in this range use flat, high-revving engines that sound exotic. The FURY is a masterpiece of American engineering with its polished Aluminum cylinder head exposed from the transparent engine cover. But they’ve built this engine with a traditional American catalyst and its deep V-8 rumble.

Only 12 Cars

90 Venom F5s is already a very limited production number. When it comes to roads, only 30 will be built. But Michael Jordan’s car is even rarer. Only 12 units of the revolutionary track-focused Roadster will be made by Michael owns one of those 12 cars, which is very special. As mentioned earlier, each car will be unique to its owner with a combination of exterior and interior colors.

John Hennessey Presented a Personal Car to Michael Jordan

In addition to buying the Venom F5, Michael Jordan and John Hennessey have been friends for a very long time. All customers have a great experience when bringing their Venom F5, but since John was a friend of Michael’s, John decided to go with his team and deliver the car personally. It was delivered to Michael Jordan’s private Florida golf club, The Grove XXIII. This was the first time its unique specifications were revealed to the public.

Two separate Instagram posts released by Hennessey never revealed the car’s full profile. One showed the car under the covers and the obvious big wings, and another picture showed Michael and John posing in front of the car. But in addition to the details, the car covered with a large wing shows the silhouette of the Revolution Roadster, and another photo shows the roof and diving planes. Michael’s car has a clear carbon fiber body with yellow accents, and the same theme is carried inside the car. This car is the official Revolution Roadster that is featured on Hennessey’s website.

Here’s what happened in the latest electric vs. ICE grudge match between the Hennessey H700 C8 Corvette and the dual-motor AWD Cybertruck.

This Is The Fastest Changing World

The Venom F5 was set to break the production car’s top speed record with a target of 300 MPH. But that target has already been hit by Bugatti, but it has been done only in one direction. While the Bugatti was the first to reach 300 MPH, it didn’t happen twice, which leaves the current record unbroken. Koenigsegg still holds the record from the 2017 race in the Agera RS with an average of 277.9 MPH.

Hennessey held record for the fastest converter along with the Venom GT spy, but that record was broken by the Agera RS as it was also a convertible. The Venom GT Spyder made 1451 horsepower, which was 207 horsepower more than the regular car. This helped Hennessey reach his record of 265.57 MPH. They claim it could go faster, but one of the three high capacity fuel pumps was faulty. They plan to bring back the name with the F5 Roadster.

How Hennessey Plans to Achieve This Record

High speed tests have already been done on the F5 during development, and they easily achieved a top speed of 271.6 MPH. This already beat the previous speed of the Venom GT. Since the F5 makes more power than any other combustion engine hypercar in its class, it’s safe to say it will be able to hit the 300 MPH barrier and achieve its two-way record.

The Roadster Edition aims to reclaim the title of the world’s fastest-changing software. With that much power and air profile, it can achieve it. Since Hennessey claims that the Venom Spyder GT had a fault during its run, the F5 Roadster should have no issue beating that record as it is already more powerful than its predecessor. If that is achieved, Michael Jordan and other Venom F5 owners will have the fastest road in the world.
