Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution vs Lotus Evija

On power there is almost nothing in it: 2,031 hp against 2,011 hp. Power-to-weight tells the more useful story: 1466 against 1197 hp per tonne, which puts the Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution ahead on the figure that actually decides how a car feels. Flat out the Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution goes further, 300 mph against 217. At launch the Lotus Evija was the cheaper of the two, $2,100,000 against $2,400,000. They go about it differently too — v8 against electric.
