Hennessey unveiled the world’s only manual Venom F5, and it comes with over 2,000hp – 2,031 to be exact.
Sent to the wheels via a six-speed manual, imagine that.
This new hypercar is also a great way to introduce ‘Maverick’, a division designed to produce one-off hypercars for customers.
The price hasn’t been revealed, but if you have to ask…

Over 2,000 horsepower via a six-speed manual
Hennessey just launched its Maverick division, which is, more or less, to the American hypercar make what Q is to Aston Martin or Mulliner is to Bentley.
The goal is to create bespoke commissions for elite clients, and, in this case, American collector Louis Florey decided to get the world’s only manual Venom F5, which will certainly make purists very happy.
Based on the Venom F5 roadster, this one-off hypercar produces 2,031hp from its 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8. It’s also fitted with an all-new carbon tub, new suspension, and a totally new interior layout.
Visually, the client opted for Cocoa Brown exposed carbon fiber for the exterior, and matching ‘chocolate’ leather upholstery for the interior, with plenty of carbon and aluminum accents.
The price tag hasn’t been revealed, but ordinarily, a ‘standard’ Venom F5 starts at around $3 million.
Also, if you happen to be in California in the coming weeks, you’ll be able to admire the car ‘in the metal’ at the upcoming 2025 Monterey Car Week.
Hennessey makes modern hypercars with an old-school touch
Hennessey builds modern hypercars but old-school elements.
For example, the new Venom F5 Roadster is the world’s fastest convertible, and the upgraded F5-M Roadster is the world’s most powerful manual car.
Earlier this year, they also unveiled the world’s most powerful internal combustion car.
No electric aid, just old-fashioned gas-powered horses.
