Hennessey will publicly debut the first production model of its Venom F5-M at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 9.
The vehicle is touted as the world's most powerful manual hypercar.
According to CarBuzz, the car is the first of a limited 12-unit production run and is being delivered to a British owner.
Racing driver Alex Brundle, son of former Formula 1 driver Martin Brundle, will pilot the hypercar up the iconic Goodwood Hill during the event.
The Venom F5-M is built upon the structural foundation of the Venom F5 Evolution.
It features an in-house 6.6-liter twin-turbo "Fury" V8 engine that generates 2,031 horsepower.
Unlike standard Venom F5 variants, the F5-M incorporates a six-speed gated manual transmission sourced from CIMA.
This required a comprehensive redesign of the carbon fiber monocoque to accommodate the gearbox and a third pedal assembly.
Design and Customization
The manufacturer also modified the interior layout to position the billet aluminum shifter closer to the steering wheel for optimal driver control.
The open-top configuration allows the powertrain sound to enter the cabin directly.
"We've always believed the Venom F5 delivers the most intense performance experience on the planet – but with the F5-M, we've gone even further," said John Hennessey, CEO of Hennessey.
"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."
Aerodynamic elements are shared with the F5 Evolution, but the F5-M introduces unique styling components, including a 55-inch dorsal fin extending from an integrated air intake scoop to the rear deck.
This initial customer car features hand-painted gold flags on the fin—the American flag representing Hennessey's heritage and the British flag for the buyer—contrasting against purple-tinted exposed carbon fiber.
Custom details executed through the brand's Maverick personalization program include a 24-karat gold "H" nose badge and bespoke "Sheikh" lettering on the rear and interior knee pads.
The Venom F5-M is offered in both Coupe and Roadster configurations, with base pricing starting at $2.65 million before taxes and customization options.
