The F5-M incorporates the latest Venom F5 Evolution<\/a> upgrades, including revised aerodynamics, active suspension<\/a>, and a 2,031-bhp powertrain. Designed, developed, and built in Texas, it features a carbon-fiber chassis<\/a>, bespoke bodywork, and is claimed to be the world’s most powerful manual-production hypercar. The Venom F5-M will debut in Goodwood’s Supercar Paddock<\/a> before making twice-daily runs up the famous hillclimb throughout the four-day event. Professional racer Alex Brundle<\/a> will drive the car.<\/p>\n Power comes from Hennessey’s 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged “Fury<\/a>” V8 producing 2,031 bhp. The engine is paired with traction control<\/a> and engine management systems designed to deliver progressive power in every gear.<\/p>\n John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: \u201cWe\u2019ve always believed the Venom F5 delivers the most intense performance experience on the planet \u2013 but with the F5-M, we\u2019ve gone even further. A gated six-speed manual puts the driver completely in control, while the open-top design brings the Fury V8 sound directly into the cockpit. The noise, the feel, and the power delivery are raw and unfiltered \u2013 it\u2019s the most all-consuming driving experience we\u2019ve created!\u201d<\/p>\n The F5-M is distinguished by a 55-inch dorsal fin extending from the roof intake to the rear deck, improving high-speed stability at speeds above 200 mph<\/a> while channeling cooling air to the engine. The debut car also features hand-painted American and British flags on the fin, reflecting Hennessey’s Texas roots and the first owner’s British nationality.<\/p>\n Inside, the cabin has been redesigned around the manual transmission. A billet aluminum gear shifter sits within a precision-machined six-speed gate, with a short-throw mechanism engineered for a more tactile shifting experience.<\/p>\n Production is limited to 12 Venom F5-M Roadsters. The first example, owned by a UK customer and making its debut at Goodwood, is finished in exposed purple carbon with anodized gold accents. Through Hennessey’s Maverick personalization program<\/a>, the owner added bespoke details including a 24-karat gold nose badge, family-name badging, and custom interior stitching. The remaining cars have been allocated to customers worldwide, primarily in the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nathan Malinick, Director of Design: \u201cOur decision to offer a manual gearbox fundamentally changed the Venom F5. It promoted driver interaction and engagement to the primary focus; it delivered freedom to explore visual presence and aerodynamics in totally new ways; and it enabled a fully-redesigned center console. The F5-M is not simply an F5 with a manual transmission \u2013 it is a complete design response to a very different kind of driver involvement.\u201d<\/p>\n Following the F5-M’s launch, Hennessey will offer the manual transmission and updated chassis architecture across the broader Venom F5 lineup, including Coupe, Roadster, and Revolution models. Priced from $2.65 million before taxes, the Venom F5-M is one of Hennessey’s most exclusive models. The company has delivered more than 40 Venom F5 hypercars to customers worldwide.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Hennessey-Venom-F5-M.24.jpg\")
