Considering the Venom GT is one of the worst cars in the game, I wouldn't expect much better from the F5.

There are a bunch of Hypercars that are being built on F1 platforms that would fit the bill. Mercedes AMG One and AMRB Valkyre come to mind. I'll bet dollars to donuts they put the F5 in the game though. While true, the Venom GT sucks, the F5 is a whole different car, built and designed from the ground up. Not a converted car. At least that's what Hennessy claims. If true, it could be much better than the current model.

Have you looked at at the F5? It looks like they cribbed the side panels and the rear end from the P1-GTR and the front end from the marriage to the Valkyre to a Ferrari!. And 300mph is a pipe dream... They are probably 3-years away, if they can get there at all. And the Designers at FM completely took the piss on the Venom GT.

Here are some more Hennessey Quotes:

"If we go out and do a run, that’s cool, but it’s not nearly as cool as when you’ve got the road runner and coyote together. Then we’re talking about the 300mph club, and that’s cool. It’ll be a fun next three to five years. I’ve heard Bugatti is going to go out and do a high-speed run in the Chiron next summer, which I’m assuming will beat our 270mph. After that we’re going to play our game and hopefully we can have some leapfrog along the way.

Do we intend to do 300mph next year? No. We’ll do it when we’re ready to do it, and if Bugatti gets there first, then congrats to them. It’s difficult to do. If they get to 300mph before us, we’ll end the game at 500kph."

"I’m sure the Merc Project One will go 6:30 around the ’Ring and people will talk s**t about it, saying they did it with cheater tyres, but that’s why I like vmax – you can’t argue against a vmax run. It’s the absolute fastest, and I don’t like qualifiers: the fastest at such-and-such track, or the fastest- accelerating to such-and-such speed.

I don’t want to be the fastest at the Nürburgring; I just want to be the absolute fastest. That’s what matters to me and my clients. So there’s the Chiron and I expect McLaren’s BP23 will go fast too, but I don’t want to run with those guys, I want to crush them. To be the fastest, period."

To translate that last one... Our cars are capable of only doing one thing, they absolutely suck at everything else... But rich guys care only about comparing the size of their [Family Friendly Site], and they don't give a [Family Friendly Site] if the damn thing's steering wheel doesn't turn.

As this is a racing game, give me track day cars like the Vulcan any day of the week over this Frankencar
