Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution LF
The first one-off model by Hennessey
The Venom F5 Revolution LF, which made its world debut at The Quail, was the first model from the Maverick division and was manufactured to order by Louis Flory.
On August 15th, at The Quail, held during Monterey Car Week, Hennessey Special Vehicles officially unveiled the Venom F5 Revolution LF, a one-of-a-kind super sports car developed by its custom order division, Maverick.
The Venom F5 Revolution LF, created through a bespoke program, is a thoroughly driver-centric concept, with America’s leading car collector, Louis Flory, collaborating with the Maverick division to realise all of his wishes, from the special aerodynamics package to the cocoa brown exposed carbon fibre.
The Venom F5 Revolution LF is based on the latest Venom F5 Evolution, which uses a newly developed carbon fiber monocoque, and is equipped with an open-top track-spec Revolution model and a 6-speed gated manual transmission.
Commenting on the launch of the Maverick division, John Hennessey, founder and CEO of Hennessey, said:
“When our customers dream, we work hard to make those dreams come true. We take pride in exceeding our customers’ expectations. Our new Maverick division takes our American hypercar offering to a whole new level – the ultimate expression of the American Dream.”
V8 twin turbo with maximum output of over 2000PS
The rear mid-mounted unit is equipped with a 6.6-liter V8 “Fury” twin-turbo engine that produces a maximum output of 2059 PS and is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
The exterior features naked carbon fiber from nose to tail, enveloping the cockpit and tapering under the 290mm high rear wing. The carbon fiber is dyed Cocoa Brown and is combined with the rich champagne-colored Brilliant River Sand Metallic paint.
The Venom F5 Evolution bodywork is introduced first, featuring a host of updated aerodynamics, including a new front splitter, redesigned dive planes, reshaped fender louvers, a new rear deck with an integrated lip spoiler, and a larger rear wing.
The car is fitted with a new suspension system and is paired with a 6.6-liter V8 “Fury” twin-turbo engine, developed by Hennessey and delivering a maximum output of 2059 PS, delivering powerful performance not only on public roads but also on the circuit.
H-shaped gate type 6-speed shift lever
In response to the owner’s wishes, a 6-speed shift lever with an H-shaped gate was installed on the center console.
The cockpit has been completely redesigned with analogue operation as the basic concept. The new centre console houses an H-shaped gated 6-speed shift lever carved from solid aluminium. Parallel air vents are located above the shift lever, with a key holster directly below.
This time, a new generation carbon fiber monocoque is used for the first time. Hennessey’s proprietary “XCell_2” tubes have significantly improved rigidity, passenger ergonomics, and pedal box geometry. The footwell layout has been changed to accommodate the H-pattern 6-speed manual gearbox, ensuring space for the clutch pedal. The aluminum pedals are laser-engraved with the “Hennessey” logo.
Switches, toggles, and rotary controls have been redesigned with watchmaking-level quality, including luminous infill switchgear that absorbs ambient light during the day and glows softly at night, and the parking brake lever is machined to achieve a bolt-action feel.
Monterey Car Week also saw the global debut of the production Venom F5 Evolution. The F5 Evolution is the next generation of the Venom F5, the world’s most powerful internal combustion engine road car. All future Venom F5s will incorporate the Evolution improvements, and the 32 vehicles already delivered can be upgraded to the Evolution model.
