Hennessey Blackbird

About this model

The all-new Hennessey Blackbird is a naturally aspirated, manual-transmission touring hypercar created as the third Hennessey hypercar after Venom GT and Venom F5

Inspired by the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the car links name, proportions, aerospace-led surfacing, and active vertical stabilizers to honor one of the world’s most iconic aircraft

Driver engagement defines the brief: six-speed gated manual, zero screens, analog controls, large central tachometer, physical key, rear-wheel drive, and maximum man-machine connection

All-new Ilmor-developed naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 projected to produce 800-850 hp and exceed 9,000 rpm, enabling 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and a top speed of 220 mph

All-new Bespoke carbon tub, carbon-fiber body, target weight below 3,000 lbs, adaptive suspension, and usable storage space support both performance and long-distance usability

Limited to 71 examples worldwide, priced from $2.5 million before taxes, designed and built in Texas

Homologated for key global markets, Blackbird represents Hennessey's most significant engineering and development commitment to date
