In a world where paddles reign supreme, Hennessey has gone gloriously rogue with the Venom F5-M Roadster, handing drivers a six-speed gated manual transmission—a rare and beautiful relic in today’s hypercar kingdom (if you recall, the previous Venom F5 is rigged to a semi-automated gearbox)
This isn’t just a car; it’s a full-body workout that demands your undivided attention as you wrestle 1,817 bhp courtesy of the Fury V8 engine. Forget electronic nannies; this roadster puts your reflexes in charge of channeling all that power to the rear wheels.
The open cockpit amplifies the sensory chaos, and the new dorsal fin stretching from the roof scoop to the rear deck adds drama to the aerodynamic tweaks.
The interior keeps things tactile with an elevated aluminum-carbon fiber gear shifter nestled in a billet aluminum gate. Every shift feels like a mechanical handshake—a level of connection modern cars often lack. Jet-fighter toggles for the windows and a custom billet aluminum key slot round out the unapologetically analog vibe.
Of course, this beast isn’t for the masses—Hennessey is building only 12 of these marvels, and they’re already spoken for. Each one flaunts a bespoke livery and a price tag starting at US$2.65 million, proving that rarity and engagement still command a premium.
