John Hennessey, founder of the company, stated that his team was testing a new aerodynamic setup for the F5, a 1,817-horsepower supercar launched in 2020, when the car lost downforce at 400 km/h, causing the test driver to lose control.
Fortunately, the driver emerged from the crash uninjured, but the cause of the incident, which occurred on July 1st, has yet to be determined. Hennessey mentioned that his team is working to analyze data to pinpoint the root cause of the incident.
“I am very grateful to our team of engineers and technicians who designed and built an incredibly strong vehicle. We are also very thankful to the first responders and KSC staff for their quick response in ensuring everyone’s safety,” said Hennessey in a statement.
