Also, this all-new chassis features an intricate carbon weave in a herringbone pattern. The molding of exterior and interior carbon-fiber parts require 600 separate pieces of tooling. This extraordinary achievement is only possible due to three years of research and development. Perfecting the chassis is the most crucial part in the case of hypercars.

Besides, Hennessey Venom F5 lightweight body panels reduce more weight. The carbon-fiber tub plays an important role in the car. Here, the pair of braces directly transfer external forces from suspension to the carbon-fiber monocoque. As a result, the overall stability and road holding capability increase substantially. This setup also ensures predictable handling at a very high speed.

This chassis also plays an important role in occupant’s safety. The carbon-fiber body is connected to an aluminum subframe. These subframe components deform in the event of an accident. So, occupants remain safe, as the subframe absorbs most of the impact energy.
