Hennessey reveals ultra-limited Venom F5 ‘Stealth Series’

Exclusive Design and Limited Availability

Texas-based hypercar manufacturer Hennessey has unveiled its ultra-limited Venom F5 ‘Stealth Series’, three brand new versions of its 1,817bhp beast.

Already sold out ahead of its Monterey Car Week debut, the three ‘Stealth Series’ versions are part of a 99-car total production run of the Venom F5. Hennessey has taken track focused Revolution models and given them a new look, with a blend of exposed carbon fibre (both black and tinted) and hand painted body panels taking around 3,000 manhours to complete in total. The build cost is expected to come in at over $3 million per car.

Meticulous Craftsmanship and Personalisation

The ‘Stealth Series’ cars have been meticulously crafted across the interior and exterior, including upholstering of the dash, seats, and doors and embroidering the ‘Hennessey’ script. Each customer will get personal surprise features tailored only to them.

Hennessey debuted its work at The Quail during Monterey Car Week in California, showing off two of the three Venom F5 Stealth Series in the form of Revolution Roadster and Revolution Coupe versions.

Stealth Series Specifications

The third of the Stealth Series is a Revolution in coupe form with a full-width rear mounted carbon fibre wing, roof-mounted air scoop and larger front splitter and rear diffuser. Other features have been given a redo, including the suspension and engine cooling.

Record-Breaking Performance

It has already been a notable year for Hennessey with the confirmation in March of the Venom F5’s production car lap record at Circuit of The Americas in 2:10.90. The company will now focus on its target of breaking the 300mph mark in 2024, while early tests suggest the car has been hitting 271.6mph. Hennessey already has one production car World Record in the bag, achieving 221.92mph in a standing half mile.
