In an era where hypercars chase speed through software and paddles, Hennessey has gone gloriously rogue. These chaps just put a gated manual transmission in the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution LF that packs over 2000 bhp and is loud enough to echo across the entire enthusiast world.
John Hennessey, founder and CEO, along with David Donohue, Venom F5 driver, showcase the beautiful and snarly monster that the Venom F5 Revolution LF is. You can hear the sound of the hypercar at various revs – it surely put a big smile on our faces and also gave goosebumps.
At its core lies the brutal twin-turbo 6.6-litre V8 engine, now pushing over 2,000 horsepower – making the LF the most powerful creation the brand has ever unleashed. But the real headline isn’t just the power. It’s the six-speed gated manual, a rarity in this top-class performance segment.
The crisp metallic click of each shift, the lever sliding through its gates with watch-like precision, the raw surge of boost, and the unfiltered aggression make the Revolution LF feel alive in a way modern hypercars often forget. But handling a 2000 bhp machine, that too with a manual gearbox, isn’t for the faint-hearted. This demands skill, respect, and a firm grip.
Oh, and not to forget, the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution LF is a 1 of 1!
