Most hypercars are not manual because most are electric. And the leftover ICE ones don&#8217;t really want to be slowed down by rowing gears.

It&#8217;s considered the most powerful manual hypercar in the world. &#8220;Together, these elements place the driver at the center of one of the most visceral driving experiences ever created,&#8221; the press release noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Venom F5-M isn&#8217;t just the most powerful manual hypercar; it&#8217;s also one of the most powerful hypercars, <em>period<\/em>. The Yangwang U9 Xtreme has 2,978 horsepower, the Koenigsegg Gemera has 2,300, and the Rimac Nevera R has 2,107 hp. It&#8217;s cool, but EVs having a lot of horsepower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/ev-vs-gas-0-60-times\/\">is nothing new<\/a>. The F5-M is about more than just speed.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Malinick, Director of Design, noted<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur decision to offer a manual gearbox fundamentally changed the Venom F5. It promoted driver interaction and engagement to the primary focus; it delivered freedom to explore visual presence and aerodynamics in totally new ways; and it enabled a fully redesigned center console. The F5-M is not simply an F5 with a manual transmission \u2013 it is a complete design response to a very different kind of driver involvement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To create this incredible power, the F5-M has a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 known as the Fury. Anyone lucky enough to be at Goodwood will get to hear the Fury throughout those four days as the F5-M takes on the Goodwood Hill twice a day. It will be driven by professional racer Alex Brundle. In addition to its sound and power, the F5-M will stand out at the event for its dramatic styling, including a 55-inch dorsal fin that stretches from its roof-mounted air intake to the edge of the rear deck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve always believed the Venom F5 delivers the most intense performance experience on the planet \u2013 but with the F5-M, we\u2019ve gone even further,&#8221; said Founder and CEO John Hennessey. &#8220;A gated six-speed manual puts the driver completely in control, while the open-top design brings the Fury V8 sound directly into the cockpit. The noise, the feel, and the power delivery are raw and unfiltered \u2013 it\u2019s the most all-consuming driving experience we\u2019ve created!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, for the depressing part. Only 12 Venom F5-M will be produced. And each of them will start at $2.64 million (before taxes). Each model will be personalized. The one at Goodwood is actually owned by a UK customer who wanted purple carbon and anodized gold accents. It also has a 24-karat gold nose badge and their family name on the stitching within the cabin. We can imagine what it&#8217;d be like to drive this thing, but that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you need a reminder that the Goodwood Festival of Speed is coming, Hennessey has revealed the new Venom &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Hennessey just revealed a 2,031-horsepower hypercar at Goodwood with something almost no hypercar offers anymore, a gated six-speed manual you shift by hand, and only 12 will ever be built, each starting at $2.64 million\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/hennessey-venom-f5-m\/#more-12829\" aria-label=\"Read more about Hennessey just revealed a 2,031-horsepower hypercar at Goodwood with something almost no hypercar offers anymore, a gated six-speed manual you shift by hand, and only 12 will ever be built, each starting at $2.64 million\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":12933,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-performance-and-luxury","resize-featured-image"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12829"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12829\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12936,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12829\/revisions\/12936"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
