THE ONE-OF-ONE VENOM F5 REVOLUTION LF IS POWERED BY FURY - A TWIN-TURBO 6.6-LITRE V8 WITH 2,031 HP ON TAP.
Texas has never done subtle - and neither has Hennessey. But this time, even by their standards, they’ve gone full-send. Meet the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution LF, released back in August, a 1-of-1 creation born from the wild imagination of American entrepreneur Louis Florey and brought to life by Hennessey’s all-new bespoke division, ‘Maverick’. It’s the most personal, most analogue, and most driver-focused F5 ever built - a rolling, twin-turbo salute to individuality, innovation, and American firepower. First unveiled at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, the Venom F5 Revolution LF stands as a statement piece for Hennessey’s new era of customer collaboration. The new Maverick division takes the brand’s already bonkers hypercar program and opens the floodgates of imagination - giving owners the ability to co-create their own vision of America’s Hypercar. And for this first example, Hennessey and Florey didn’t just tweak a few colours. They reimagined everything.
At its core sits the beating heart of Texas itself - the 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 known as Fury. With a staggering 2,031 hp, or 1,494 kW, the engine is a thunderclap of internal combustion defiance, hand-built to deliver earth-shaking acceleration and a sound that could rattle tectonic plates. Pair that with Hennessey’s Evolution package, and you’ve got a machine engineered for unfiltered, mechanical violence. The Revolution LF is a roofless, track-spec symphony of noise, carbon, and adrenaline. Every surface on the LF is a study in obsessive detail. The design borrows from Hennessey’s Stealth Series - an exposed weave of carbon fibre that flows from nose to tail, cocooning the cockpit before slicing back down beneath a towering 290 mm rear wing. But in true Maverick style, the carbon isn’t just any carbon. It’s tinted Cocoa Brown, complemented by River Sand Metallic paint - a shimmering champagne tone that dances in sunlight. Even the aerodynamic elements are bespoke: a new front splitter, sharper dive planes, reworked fender louvres, a reshaped rear deck, and that massive rear wing all combine to sculpt a car that’s as functional as it is feral.
Inside, the LF is a love letter to the analogue age - a place where machinery takes centre stage, and the driver’s connection to it is sacred. The new ‘XCell_2’ carbon monocoque improves rigidity, driving position, and space for the most glorious of additions: a six-speed gated manual transmission. The H-pattern shifter sits proudly in a reimagined centre console, milled from solid aluminium, each click through the gate promising a symphony of mechanical precision. Around it, the interior is trimmed in handcrafted materials and detailed with near-watchmaking precision - from luminous-infill switchgear that glows gently at night, to a bolt-action-style parking brake lever that feels more rifle than car control.
Hennessey’s Director of Design, Nathan Malinick, put it best: “The LF demonstrates how far we’ll go to deliver an outstanding customer experience. It’s where engineering meets imagination, and where design fuses with passion – the most raw, powerful, and intense celebration of internal combustion.”
The LF marks the official launch of Hennessey’s Maverick division, where a select few customers will work directly with the Texan brand’s engineers and designers to create one-off expressions of the Venom F5. Custom paints, reimagined interiors, bespoke bodywork - if you can dream it, they’ll build it. Founder John Hennessey calls it “the ultimate expression of the American Dream” - and looking at the LF, it’s hard to argue. With its open-top configuration, manual gearbox, and more than 2,000 hp of Fury roaring just centimetres behind the driver’s head, it’s a nod to the soul of driving in an increasingly digital world.
Monterey Car Week also marked the public unveiling of the Venom F5 Revolution Evolution, the production version boasting the same Fury engine. It’s officially the world’s most powerful internal combustion road car, representing the next step in Hennessey’s relentless quest for speed. Future Venom F5s will all feature the Evolution upgrades as standard, while existing owners can update their cars to match. The improvements include enhanced aerodynamics, mode-adaptive suspension, a refreshed interior, and the option of touring seats and exhausts - all aimed at refining the raw, monstrous experience without losing an ounce of its aggression.
