Hennessey previews the Supercharged Maximus Rumble Bee SRT, a Ram 1500 pickup delivering 1,032 hp and 947 lb-ft, with 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, a 1/4 mile in 10.9 seconds, and an estimated top speed of 200 mph thanks to upgraded intercooler, intake, and calibration and a VenomAero kit.
Hennessey unveils the Blackbird, a 71‑unit, $2.5 million hypercar powered by a 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 co-developed with Ilmor, targeting 800–850 hp and a dry weight under 3,000 lb with a gated six‑speed manual. It promises 0–60 mph in about 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 220 mph, aided by a full‑carbon tub, exclusive wheels, rear luggage pods, and aviation-inspired styling. The cabin eschews screens for five analog dials and a central 10,000‑rpm tach, while production is slated for 2029 with global homologation and enhanced NVH.
Hennessey unveils the Blackbird, a 1,400 kg carbon‑fiber hypercar that sticks to a naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 tuned to 800–850hp, revving to 9,000 rpm and paired with a six‑speed manual and rear‑wheel drive. It abandons screens for a focused, analogue interior, channels SR‑71 aesthetics with dramatic rear fins, and promises 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds and a 220 mph top speed. Only 71 will be built, priced at about $2.5 million, making it a touring‑focused, soul‑driven counterpoint to today’s horsepower arms race.
Hennessey unveiled a one-of-a-kind hypercar, the Venom F5 Revolution LF, featuring a manual transmission and 2,031 horsepower, as the first project from its new Maverick bespoke division, emphasizing extreme customization and performance.
The Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution has set a new track record at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, beating the previous record holder, the Czinger 21C, by 0.43 seconds with a lap time of 2:10.90 seconds. The hypercar, driven by former Le Mans class winner David Donohue, reached speeds of 193 mph and experienced high lateral forces during cornering. The Revolution model features chassis and aero tweaks for improved track performance, and Hennessey is aiming to push the F5 beyond 300 mph later this year.
Hennessey is bidding farewell to the Chevrolet Camaro with the limited-edition ZL1 Exorcist Final Edition, boasting a staggering 1,000 horsepower. Only 57 units will be produced, featuring upgrades such as a larger supercharger, improved fuel system, and enhanced engine components. With a 0-60 mph time of 2.1 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 9.57 seconds, this beastly Camaro is a fitting tribute to the iconic model.
Hennessey has unveiled the Venom F5 Revolution Roadster, a roofless version of its track-honed hypercar. The Roadster combines the V8 power of the regular F5 with the track-focused features of the Revolution Coupe. It features aerodynamic enhancements, a re-engineered removable carbon fiber roof panel, and a 1,817bhp twin-turbo V8 engine. The first example, priced at $3 million, has already been sold out.
