A New Benchmark in Analog Performance

At Monterey Car Week, Hennessey shocked the crowd with the Venom F5 Revolution LF. This 1-of-1 creation is more than just another hypercar. It is the most powerful manual supercar in the world, blending raw analog engagement with 2,031 horsepower of twin-turbo V8 fury.


While most automakers push hybrids and dual-clutch automatics, Hennessey has done the opposite. The LF is unapologetically old-school, with a six-speed gated manual transmission carved from solid aluminum. That third pedal turns the F5 into something no rival offers: a true driver’s hypercar.

Built by Maverick, for One Customer

The LF is the first project from Hennessey’s new Maverick customer commission division. Entrepreneur Louis Florey worked directly with Hennessey to specify every detail, from the unique Cocoa Brown exposed carbon fiber to the River Sand Metallic accents. Even the aero package and interior layout were developed around his vision.

The result is a car that is both personal and groundbreaking. It is not just another spec build. It is proof that Hennessey is willing to re-engineer its flagship to deliver exactly what a customer dreams of.

Engineering Without Compromise

The LF debuts a new carbon monocoque, improved suspension, and an aero package designed for extreme high-speed stability. A taller rear wing, deeper front splitter, and revised dive planes ensure track-ready downforce. Inside, every detail has been obsessively crafted: laser-etched pedals, horology-grade switchgear, a bolt-action parking brake lever, and that iconic gated shifter as the centerpiece.

With 2,031 bhp, open-top driving, and analog control, the LF is as wild as it gets. It represents a rare mix of brutal performance and pure driver connection.

Why It Matters

In today’s world of electric hypercars and digital overload, the Venom F5 Revolution LF feels rebellious. It is mechanical, raw, and visceral. It celebrates the analog driving experience at a time when most manufacturers are abandoning it.


And it is not just a one-off. The LF also launches the Maverick division, which will let a handful of Hennessey clients build their own dream-spec Venom F5s. This is only the beginning of what may become the most extreme personalization program in the hypercar world.

Final Word

The Venom F5 Revolution LF is not only the craziest manual supercar on the market. It is a reminder that the future of performance does not have to be silent, automatic, or digital. Hennessey has delivered something for purists, collectors, and anyone who believes that a third pedal is worth fighting for.
