I wonder where Hennessey's going to get tires capable of that speed.

The whole goal of the Venom T5 is to be the fastest car on the planet.

Under its hood is a twin-turbocharged V8 engine that will put out an estimated 1,600 horsepower.

All that power is sent to the rear wheels by way of a seven-speed, single-clutch transmission.

Active aerodynamics will also help channel air where it's needed.

Hennessey estimates that it will only take 10 seconds to accelerate the Venom F5 from 0 to 186 mph.

Formula 1 cars don't even accelerate that quickly.

The top speed is "projected to exceed" 300 mph.
