KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — In what can only be described as “The Fast and the Furious: Florida Drift,” a $3 million hypercar decided that July 1, 2024, would be a great day for some impromptu gymnastics. The Hennessey Venom F5, a car so fast it makes light speed seem sluggish, was performing a straight-line test on the old Space Shuttle runway when it suddenly remembered it had aspirations of being a stunt plane.
News 6, ever eager for a good story, learned that the Venom F5 was in the middle of attempting to break 300 mph when it decided to trade speed for style, performing an unplanned barrel roll and landing gracefully—upside down—on the concrete. The result? Minor runway damage, a bruised ego for Team Hennessey, and a small repair bill. Oh, and the driver? He walked away without a scratch, probably ready to star in the next “Mission: Impossible.”
The Venom F5, which sounds more like a supervillain’s alias than a car, is the brainchild of John Hennessey, a man who clearly thinks “too fast” is just the right speed. Powered by an 1,817 horsepower engine and boasting an interior that’s more fighter jet than sedan, this carbon-fiber rocket is already sold out—because nothing says “responsible purchase” like a car that can outpace a jet.
So, how fast was this hypercar going before its big moment? That remains a mystery, hidden behind the redacted curtain of “trade secrets.” Apparently, some secrets are so spicy, even the government won’t share them.
Five days after the crash, Hennessey took to Instagram (because where else does one break important news?) to reassure his followers that the Venom F5 was doing fine—just a little scuffed—and that his team was already back to tinkering with their “experimental aerodynamic setup.” In other words, they were figuring out how to keep the car from trying out for Cirque du Soleil again.
The runway, a 15,000-foot monster that once welcomed space shuttles back to Earth, is one of the few places where you can legally push a car past 250 mph without catching the attention of local law enforcement. But don’t get any ideas—renting this beast of a runway for your own vehicular shenanigans will set you back $2,200 for four hours. That’s a small price to pay for a high-speed joyride, but you might want to save a little extra for the cleanup crew—just ask Team Hennessey, who got stuck with a $712 bill for Hazmat cleanup after their runway romp.
Despite the crash, the runway was back in business just two-and-a-half hours later, proving that at Kennedy Space Center, the show must go on—preferably at breakneck speeds. As for John Hennessey, he remains grateful to his team and the folks at Kennedy Space Center for their quick response. No word yet on whether they’ll be installing airbags on the runway itself.
For now, the Venom F5 is back in the shop, licking its wounds and gearing up for its next attempt to prove that too much speed is never enough. And who knows? Maybe next time, it’ll stay right side up.
ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 10, 2024) — A Lamborghini sports car was completely engulfed in flames after a crash on State Road 408 in Orlando late Saturday night. The incident occurred over Summerlin Avenue, prompting a swift response from the Orlando Fire Department, according to WESH 2 in Orlando, Florida.
Firefighters arrived at the scene to extinguish the blaze. According to the Orlando Fire Department, no one was transported from the scene, suggesting there were no serious injuries reported.
Details surrounding the cause of the crash remain unclear as authorities have yet to release further information. The investigation into what led to the fiery incident is ongoing.
Englewood Cliffs, NJ (October 17, 2023) – Ferrari North America, Inc. has initiated a safety recall affecting 614 of its SF90 models produced between November 2022 and September 2023. The recall, identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as Recall No. 23V-698, was prompted by a defect in the turbocharger oil delivery pipe, which could potentially lead to an increased risk of fire.
The affected vehicles include the 2022-2024 Ferrari SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider models. According to Ferrari, the defect stems from a notch detected on the external surface of the turbocharger oil delivery pipe, which also exhibits reduced thickness. These characteristics make the pipe nonconforming to Ferrari’s stringent technical drawing requirements. The defect was initially identified during a preproduction review in July 2023, when oil leakage and a reduction in engine performance were observed in the instrument panel.
While Ferrari has reported no incidents of fires, oil leaks, or any related injuries or fatalities, the company has opted to initiate this recall as a precautionary measure. The issue was thoroughly investigated by Ferrari between August and September 2023, leading to the discovery that the potentially defective parts were installed on vehicles manufactured during the specified period.
As part of the recall, Ferrari will replace the nonconforming turbocharger oil delivery pipes with parts that meet their technical specifications. Ferrari plans to notify all affected vehicle owners by December 16, 2023, advising them to contact an authorized dealer to schedule the necessary repairs. In the meantime, owners are requested not to use their vehicles until the issue is resolved.
This recall highlights Ferrari’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and performance across its vehicle lineup. The company has assured that all SF90 vehicles currently in production have been fitted with conforming turbocharger oil delivery pipes as of September 20, 2023.
For more information, owners can contact Ferrari North America at 1-800-999-9999.

Older Ferraris, like the 1986 Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet or the 1975 Ferrari 308, have unique wear and tear issues. The mechanical parts, electrical systems, and bodywork may exhibit signs of aging. Regular use and environmental factors impact these components, which can affect performance and aesthetics.
Potential Maintenance Needs and Costs
Maintenance costs for used Ferraris can be substantial. High-mileage vehicles often require:
Engine Overhauls: Regular servicing might not suffice; engine components may need replacing.
Transmission Repairs: Older transmissions can wear out, requiring significant investment to restore performance.
Suspension Systems: Aging suspensions can affect ride quality and handling, needing expert attention.
Repairs and parts for Ferraris are typically more expensive than for standard vehicles. Budgeting for potential maintenance is essential.
Importance of Thorough Inspection Before Purchase
A thorough inspection is non-negotiable when considering a purchase. Critical aspects include:
Service History: Reviewing past maintenance records provides insights into the car’s upkeep.
Professional Assessment: Hire a Ferrari specialist to perform an in-depth evaluation.
Test Drive: Examine how the car handles under various conditions.
This meticulous approach helps identify any immediate issues that might not be apparent initially.
Investing time in understanding these factors ensures that your affordable Ferrari remains both a joy to own and drive.
