It’s one of a kind in more than one way. Hennessey has revealed the Venom F5 Revolution LF supercar, which is a one-of-a-kind creation for a special customer.

It’s the first from the Texas boutique car builder’s Maverick bespoke design program, which allows buyers to specify myriad details about their cars.

This one was ordered by Effex Management Solutions CEO Louis Flory and is the most powerful car production in the world with a manual transmission.

The “standard” Venom F5-M, which features a 1,817 hp twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V8 and six-speed transmission with an H-pattern shifter and a clutch pedal, but this car uses in the latest version of the engine, which has “oval-shaped” pistons and is rated at 2,003 hp when running on E85.

It added a redesigned carbon fiber tub, the Venom’s Revolution track package — which upgrades the suspension and includes aggressive aerodynamic bodywork extensions — and a giant downforce producing rear wing.

The roadster-style body is finished in River Sand Metallic paint with a strip of Coco Brown-tinted exposed carbon fiber running down the center.

The interior uses matching brown colors and lots of milled aluminum parts. The writing on the switchgear absorbs light and glows at night. The key slots into a “holster” in front of the stick shift to start it.

Hennessey didn’t say exactly how much Flory paid for the car, but the Venom F5-M starts at $2.65 million and the Revolution package and other options can easily get that over the $3 million mark.
