The Hennessey Venom F5-M – World’s Most Powerful Manual Car

The key updates to the Hennessey Venom F5-M Roadster include:

• The addition of a gated six-speed manual transmission requires interior modifications.
• Redesigned centre console with horizontal air vents and new jet-fighter-inspired toggle switches for window controls.
• A 55.0-inch dorsal fin has been added for improved aerodynamics.
• Custom livery options, with exposed carbon fibre and bespoke colours chosen by each customer.
• The engine remains the same with no changes to the 1,817 horsepower twin-turbo V8.

The latest Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster, the F5-M, has landed with some great updates. One of the most affecting changes is the fact that it now has a gated six-speed manual transmission. Adding this new gearbox also ushered in a series of other interior changes, including a new centre console design.

Now, the air vents and the air conditioning controls have a horizontal orientation, instead of their previous orientation, which was vertical. The F5-M also features jet-fighter-inspired toggle switches for the windows, positioned behind the billet aluminium shift gate and carbon-fibre shifter.

The F5-M Roadster receives aerodynamic enhancements on its outside, starting with an eye-catching 55.0-inch dorsal fin running from the roof scoop to the rear deck. It’s also a car fitted with a custom livery that patterns exposed carbon fibre down the spine with colours unique to each customer. Once a colour is selected, it is removed from Hennessey’s configurator to ensure exclusivity.

These modifications aside, the Venom F5-M sticks with its ferocious twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter “Fury” V-8 engine. That monster still pumps out 1,817 horsepower, enabling this F5-M to hit 60 mph in only 3.3 seconds before topping out at 311 mph.

For those who wanted to buy the F5-M, there is some bad news: Hennessey has already sold all 12 units of the Roadster. Each one starts at $2.65 million, and it will be part of a limited 30-unit production run of Venom F5 Roadsters. Despite the sellout, the Venom F5M still remains an extraordinary blend of performance, craftsmanship, and exclusivity in the world of hypercars.
