Despite the changes inside and out, the heart of the Venom F5-M remains the same: the twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter “Fury” V8 engine. It produces a staggering 1,817 horsepower, delivering a brutal 0-60 mph time of just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 311 miles per hour. The sheer power is a testament to Hennessey’s engineering prowess, making the F5-M not just a showpiece but a true performance monster on the road.

At the heart of the F5-M’s innovation is the gated six-speed manual transmission, offering drivers an old-school driving experience while harnessing an almost unimaginable amount of power. The transition from the more common automatic transmission required extensive interior modifications. Hennessey reshaped the center console to accommodate the new gearbox, making sure the cockpit of the F5-M feels as high-performance as its drivetrain.

In the process, Hennessey updated several interior features. Horizontal air vents now take the place of the previous vertical ones, and the air conditioning controls were redesigned to fit the new layout. The F5-M also sports new jet-fighter-inspired toggle switches, adding to its aeronautical influence, which sits behind the billet aluminum shift gate and carbon-fiber shifter. Every detail of this redesign speaks to both luxury and precision.

While the transmission and interior take center stage, the Venom F5-M also received key aerodynamic enhancements. The most striking of these is a 55.0-inch dorsal fin that runs from the roof scoop all the way to the rear deck. This feature not only adds visual drama but also improves high-speed stability — a necessity for a car with this much power.

In terms of customization, Hennessey allows each owner to make their F5-M truly unique. Each car is adorned with a custom livery, pairing exposed carbon fiber along the spine with a bespoke color palette chosen by the customer. Once a color is selected, it’s removed from the configurator, ensuring that no two F5-Ms are exactly alike.

The Hennessey Venom F5-M is more than just a car — it’s a tribute to the art of driving. In an era of increasingly automated supercars, the F5-M stands out with its manual transmission, outrageous power, and uncompromising exclusivity. With all units sold out and its place in automotive history assured, the F5-M will remain a symbol of raw, unfiltered driving for years to come.
