The Hennessey Venom F5-M Roadster is equipped with 1,817 horsepower.
Texas-based supercar company Hennessey Special Vehicles has unveiled the Venom F5-M Roadster, which it claims is the world's most powerful manual production car ever. The car is powered by a "Fury V8" engine that produces 1,817 horsepower. However, unlike the standard Venom F5, which is equipped with a seven-speed automated manual transmission, the F5-M is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. Commenting on the event, founder and CEO John Hennessey said: "Driving the Venom F5 is already an exhilarating, inspiring, timeless, full-body experience... but we'll never say that's enough, we'll never stop. That's why we've delved deeper into the feeling of driving, finding every touchpoint to provide connection, feedback, sound and engagement. We believe the Venom F5-M Roadster will be the most intense, immersive and extreme driving experience on the planet, and a dozen lucky customers will get to take the wheel with us!"

The 1,817-horsepower manual Hennessey Venom F5-M is the world’s
Hennessey has unveiled the $2.65 million Venom F5-M Roadster, the world's most powerful manual-transmission production car. The 1,817-horsepower F5-M ditches the regular F5's seven-speed paddle-shift transmission for a six-speed gated manual and features a large dorsal fin. A total of 30 Roadsters were produced, with only 12 manual transmission cars produced, and all of them were sold. Former Jaguar Land Rover chassis expert Mike Cross once told me that he thought it was no bad thing that not many cars with more than 500 horsepower were offered with manual transmissions, because with so much power on hand, drivers were fed up. God knows what Cross would think of the new Hennessey Venom F5-M, which has a six-speed manual transmission and a whopping 1,817 horsepower (1,842 PS). var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The world's most powerful manual-shift production car is based on the existing Venom…

The M8 Competition xDrive's twin-turbocharged V8 engine enables it to hit 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. The BMW M8 Competition is a beast with its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 617 horsepower, but can it accomplish the seemingly impossible and keep up with the Hennessey-tuned Ford Mustang Dark Horse, which has 233 more horsepower? Just a few months after the American tuner unveiled its souped-up Mustang Dark Horse, it's now taking the extraordinary little car, the M8 Competition, to a series of races. We're not sure why it decided to test this car alongside the BMW when it's clearly at a power disadvantage, but it certainly made for an…

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed American cars of this year. This is true despite the fact that it has yet to be released on the market.
