Hennessey Special Vehicles, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer renowned for pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering, has unveiled its latest creation: the Venom F5-M Roadster. This remarkable vehicle is set to become the world’s most powerful manual production car, blending ultimate driving engagement with extraordinary performance.
A New Era of Driving Engagement
The Venom F5-M Roadster is designed to elevate the driving experience to new s. Central to this is its gated six-speed manual transmission, which replaces electronic controls with a purely mechanical connection. This re-engineered hypercar aims to deliver an unparalleled sensory experience, combining the thrill of a naturally aspirated Fury V8 engine with the visceral pleasure of a manual gearbox.
John Hennessey, the company’s founder and CEO, expresses his enthusiasm: “We are so excited to offer the Venom F5-M Roadster – the world’s most powerful manual. It’s old school, it’s badass, and it offers ultimate driving engagement. We believe it will provide the most intense and immersive driving experience on the planet.”
Performance and Engineering Excellence
Hennessey’s engineering team, led by Brian Jones, has meticulously remapped the Fury V8 engine to work seamlessly with new gearing ratios. The result is a hypercar that delivers a staggering 1,817 bhp (1,357 kW) and is capable of exhilarating acceleration. The rear-wheel drive system ensures that this immense power is effectively transferred to the road, balancing thrill with control.
The Venom F5-M Roadster will be produced in a limited run of just 12 units, all of which are already sold. Each model will be priced from $2.65 million and will feature a bespoke livery exclusive to this series. Key design elements include a striking 55-inch (1,400 mm) dorsal fin, which extends from the roof-mounted air scoop to the rear deck, enhancing both aerodynamic performance and visual impact.
Interior and Design Innovations
Inside, the Venom F5-M Roadster showcases a redesigned cockpit with an elevated aluminum and carbon fiber gear shifter. Positioned close to the driver for optimal ergonomics, the six-speed gate is machined from billet aluminum, emphasizing the car’s dedication to tactile driving engagement. The interior also features a unique layout with new horizontal air outlets and a billet aluminum key slot, complemented by jet-fighter-inspired toggle switches.
The F5-M’s exterior design is equally striking. Its bespoke livery highlights the car’s lines and open roof, incorporating heritage motorsport-inspired elements. The central stripe flows from the front, over the roof, and along the dorsal fin, connecting the car’s exterior to its cockpit and reinforcing its high-performance pedigree.
Legacy and Future Prospects
The Venom F5-M Roadster builds on the legacy of the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, which holds the record for the world’s fastest convertible road car, achieving 265.6 mph in 2016. Each Venom F5-M Roadster will be built at Hennessey’s headquarters in Sealy, Texas, alongside other models like the semi-auto Venom F5 Coupe, Roadster, and Revolution.
