Discover the Hennessey Venom F5 'Stealth Series': A Fusion of Art and Power in Hypercars
Hennessey Special Vehicles, based in Texas, has unveiled the 'Stealth Series', a striking new addition to its Venom F5 hypercar range. Boasting a formidable 1,817 bhp, the series includes just three ultra-exclusive models, each a masterpiece of detailed craftsmanship and bespoke personalisation options.
The Stealth Series is exclusively available with the track-focused Revolution models. These models feature a stunning mix of black and tinted exposed carbon fibre, complemented by hand-painted body panels. This unique configuration highlights the carbon fibre detail stretching from the nose-mounted 'H-badge' across the hypercar's entire length. Starting broad at the windscreen, it seamlessly flows over the roof and tapers past the 6.6-litre twin-turbo 'Fury' engine, finishing at the rear deck just above the quad tailpipes.
The creation of each Stealth model demands approximately 2,350 person-hours for the flawless carbon fibre body and chassis alone, with an additional 650 to 750 hours needed to apply the intricate paint finishes. Skilled craftsmen lay each cosmetic carbon fibre sheet by hand, paint every exterior panel, meticulously upholster the interiors, and embroider the 'Hennessey' script with personalised touches unique to each owner. The design team at Hennessey obsesses over every detail, from the top-quality carbon fibre to the subtle transitions from carbon to paint on the bodywork.
Of the 99 Venom F5s planned for production, only three will belong to the highly sought-after Stealth Series. All were sold before their debut at The Quail during Monterey Car Week.
The founder and CEO, John Hennessey, states, "The Venom F5 is already recognised as the pinnacle of extreme, powerful, and exhilarating hypercars. Yet, our dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and meticulous attention to detail distinguishes the Stealth Series, creating a unique work of art that exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and unbridled American horsepower."
The design team at Hennessey collaborates closely with Stealth Series clients to craft specifications that ensure lasting uniqueness. These features include tinted carbon fibre, colour-coordinated brake callipers, and discreetly included personal racing numbers.
Nathan Malinick, Director of Design, remarks, "Our design for the limited-edition Venom F5 Stealth Series was driven by the car’s sleek aerodynamics and the beauty of its exposed carbon fibre. This series perfectly blends exquisite, raw carbon with sophisticated paintwork to enhance the F5's aerodynamic shape."
The Stealth Series first appeared at The Quail on August 16, showcasing the Revolution Roadster and Coupe, allowing attendees to appreciate the craftsmanship under the Californian sun. Though the exact price per customisation remains confidential, each Stealth Series model is priced above $3 million.
Distinctive features such as a full-width carbon fibre wing, a roof-mounted air scoop, and an extensive front splitter set the Revolution models apart, optimising aesthetics and performance. The Revolution models also boast enhanced suspension, cooling systems, and digital telemetry to improve handling and performance.
Earlier this year, the Revolution coupe not only affirmed the Venom F5's reputation as 'America’s Hypercar' by setting a new lap record at Circuit of The Americas but also pushed its maximum speed beyond 271.6 mph, demonstrating Hennessey's ongoing commitment to breaking speed barriers.
Each Venom F5 is meticulously assembled at Hennessey's headquarters, just 100 miles from the Circuit of The Americas in Sealy, Texas. To date, Hennessey has delivered 24 Venom F5s and continues to accept orders for future models.
