Hennessey reveals buff SUPER VENOM Mustang to celebrate its anniversary
The engine can be paired with either a 10-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual.
0-60 mph times drop from 3.7 seconds in the regular Dark Horse to 3.2 seconds, with a ¼ mile time of 10.9 seconds at 133 mph.The SUPER VENOM wears 20-inch lightweight performance wheels and the new and bespoke "VenomAero" carbon fiber performance kit, which includes a more aggressive front splitter, a functional front hood vent, side skirts, functional front fender louvers, a rear trunk lid with an integrated duck bill, and a tall, fixed rear track wing.
Hennessey claims these aerodynamic improvements increase handling and cooling to match the ponies under the hood.
The automaker's newest creation can be adorned with one of three bespoke "91 Icon Livery" liveries, named after the company's founding year, in either black, silver, or red over the factory paint color. Hennessey and SUPER VENOM badging are spread throughout the body, while the rear wing has a ghosted Hennessey logo.
The cabin is dressed in bespoke Hennessey leather and Alcantara seats in either blue or black. Customers can choose between the comfort or Recaro sports seats, with either one wearing an embossed Hennessey signature logo. The center console and dash include a plaque showcasing each SUPER VENOM Mustang's individual serial number, ensuring that passengers know they're riding in something special.You can't go wrong with an all-American V8 Mustang (legally) screaming its tires off. Those performance numbers are serious business, and we hope the owners take advantage of them.
Speaking of owning one of these things, not only are they limited to 91 units (because Hennessey was founded in 1991), but the automaker didn't announce a price either. If you're interested in having one in your stable, orders are now being taken either by Hennessey directly or by authorized Hennessey Ford dealers like Galpin Ford, Ken Grody Ford, 5-Star Ford, Riddick-Brown Ford, Kunes Ford, Veterans Ford of Tampa, and Sarchione Ford.

For reference, a Mustang GT Fastback starts at $46,560, while a Mustang Dark Horse starts at $64,380. Given the bespoke nature of the SUPER VENOM and all of the performance upgrades, we expect its MSRP to easily reach six figures. Nobody ever said that being cool was cheap.

How to deep clean your car interior: Products and tips you need
Is your car always dirty? Could it use some extra cleaning? If the answer is yes, then we have some tips that can help. With just a few types of sprays, a glass cleaner and a good microfiber towel, your car's interior will be pristine in no time. Here's a simple guide on how to keep your ride as clean as a whistle. What's the first step in cleaning my car's interior? Before you use any products, make sure to remove all of the trash from your vehicle. This includes empty bottles and cans, food wrappers, and anything else you find lying around in your car. Once these are all out of the way, you can actually get started with the cleaning process. Vacuum up the little things The next step to take is to vacuum the inside of your vehicle. This can be done easily with a handheld or a household vacuum cleaner that's paired with a hose attachment. If you don't have one at home, you can usually find a vacuuming station at a car wash or a gas station. Some of them are even free to use. Once you start the vacuuming process, make sure that you clean the mats on both the top and bottom, as they will typically have a lot of dirt on both sides. Go over the floor below the mats, seats and anywhere else that can accumulate loose dirt, debris or pet hair. Spray down your surfaces Choose a good, all-purpose cleaner and use it liberally on all of your vehicle's interior surfaces that aren't glass. These cleaners can remove grime and light stains, and they'll leave a nice shine on any hard surfaces that you focus on. Start by spraying your cleaner before you scrub, and then wipe down your interior with a microfiber towel. Microfiber towels are best for this type of cleaning because they're scratch-resistant and they're able to hold a lot of moisture. Learning to maintain your vehicle: How often should you inspect your brakes? 5 costly mistakes to avoid Don't forget the glass! Use a dedicated glass cleaner to make your front and rear windshields, side windows, mirrors and infotainment screens clear and clean. Spray the glass and then wipe across the area with another microfiber towel to avoid leaving any scratches. Make sure you wipe in the same direction throughout the process so you don't leave any streaks behind on the glass. Nobody likes streaks. The finishing touches If you have cloth interior, a traditional all-purpose cleaner should be enough to get the job done. If you happen to have a vehicle with leather, suede or Alcantara interior surfaces, then you may want to focus on them more thoroughly, because high-quality surfaces take a bit more work to clean. Each surface has its own types of products for the material used, so find one that is compatible with your vehicle. Once you spray the seats with a specialized cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes before you wipe it down. Check the instructions on the product you're using for a specified amount of benefit of using specialized cleaners is that they're able to go deeper into the surface and remove tough stains more effectively. They can also give a gloss-like shine to your interior. Getting the inside of your ride nice and spotless may seem like a tall task, but it's much simpler than you think. The key is to use the right products and to have some patience to keep stains from building up over time. You'll find that if you clean your car weekly, you won't have to worry about it becoming a mess in the future. Try it once, and it will only get easier.

Hennessey Unveils 1-of-1 Manual Venom F5 Hypercar with 2,031 Horsepower
A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link. Hennessey establishes 'Maverick' division to produce exceptional customer commissions 1-of-1 Venom F5 LF is most expensive, complex, and highest spec Hennessey hypercar ever Special model features all-new carbon tub, all-new gated six-speed manual transmission, Cocoa Brown exposed carbon fiber, totally new interior layout, horology-inspired switchgear, and 'Evolution' aero, suspension, and comfort enhancements Monterey Car Week also sees global public debut for new, 2,031 bhp Venom F5 Revolution Evolution production car Images: New 1-of-1 manual Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Evolution LF Video: John Hennessey overview and drive of Venom F5 Revolution Evolution LF MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hennessey Special Vehicles, the Texas-based manufacturer of America's Hypercar, has revealed the Venom F5 Revolution LF – a 1-of-1 customer commission created by Hennessey's new bespoke customer commission division: 'Maverick'. Unveiled today (August 15) at The Quail, the unique new model is built as a symbol of individuality, innovation, and American pride, the bespoke LF model becomes the most personal, driver centric, analog, and engaging Venom F5 to date. Passionate collector and American Entrepreneur, Louis Florey personally specified every bespoke element, from the unique aerodynamic package to the distinctive Cocoa Brown exposed carbon fiber. Working with Hennessey's new 'Maverick' customer commission division, the 1-of-1 model sets a new benchmark for America's Hypercar and demonstrates the capabilities of the Texan firm's world-class designers and engineers. Featuring an all-new carbon fiber tub, the commission pairs Hennessey's latest Evolution package with an open-top F5 in track-spec 'Revolution' configuration. The design is based on the already exclusive 'Stealth Series', which sees exposed carbon fiber flow from nose to tail, broadening to envelop the cockpit before narrowing again beneath the 290 mm-high rear wing. Tinting the carbon fiber Coco Brown, opting for brilliant River Sand Metallic paint – the color of rich champagne, and adding a body-color tri-stripe, then specifying a six-speed gated manual transmission, instantly makes this the most unique and complex F5 to-date. John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: 'When our customers have a dream, we work to make their dreams come true – exceeding customer expectations is a badge of honor. Our new 'Maverick' division enables our customers to take our American Hypercar to a totally new dimension. I see it as the ultimate expression of the American Dream!' Previewing bodywork elements from the forthcoming Venom F5 Evolution, the LF features a wealth of aerodynamic revisions from a new front splitter, reshaped dive planes, re-sculpted fender louvres, a new rear deck with integrated lip spoiler, and a significantly taller rear wing. Paired with new suspension and Hennessey's new 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 Fury engine with 2,031 bhp, the aerodynamic enhancements ensure high-speed poise on road or track, enabling extreme performance with the roof on or off. Inside, the LF debuts a new generation carbon monocoque. Hennessey's 'XCell_2' tub improves stiffness, seating ergonomics, and pedal box geometry, with repositioned footwells offering space for the third pedal and promoting a more positive driving position. The LF sees machined aluminum pedals completed with laser-etched Hennessey logos and moved to a new floor-mounted configuration. The interior is entirely reimagined with analog connection a guiding principle. A new center console showcases a H-pattern gated shifter – milled from solid aluminum. Above the shifter sit side-by side air vents, with a key 'holster' immediately below, which receives the F5 key as part of the ignition process. Each switch, toggle, and rotary controller has been reengineered with horology-grade detailing – including luminous-infill switchgear, which absorbs ambient light during the day and glows softly at night. Even the parking brake lever is machined to deliver a bolt-action feel, underscoring the obsessive craftsmanship throughout the cabin. Nathan Malinick, Hennessey's Director of Design: 'A common point of celebration for our customers is how the F5 delivers unmatched driving intensity. We built on this prominent theme with Louis Florey, identifying mechanical, sensory, and design-led ways of deepening the connection between F5 and driver. 'The LF demonstrates how far we'll go to deliver an outstanding customer experience and it's the perfect launchpad for our new bespoke 'Maverick' division. It's where engineering meets imagination, and where design fuses with passion – there can be no greater way to connect driver with the most raw, powerful, and intense celebration of internal combustion.' The Maverick division, officially launched with this commission, will allow a small number of customers to work hand-in-hand with the Hennessey team to create uniquely personal Venom F5 builds. From custom paints, new mechanical elements, and exposed carbon finishes to personalized interiors and even reimagined bodywork, the program reflects Hennessey's commitment to celebrating the individuality of its customers – while staying true to Hennessey's pioneering spirit and Texan independence. As the most expensive and complex F5 to date, the Venom F5 Revolution LF will stand alone as a 1-of-1 commission. However, the ethos it represents will carry forward into future Maverick projects – each as bold, personal, and uncompromising as the customers who seek their own American Dream. Monterey Car Week also saw the global public debut for the new 2,031 bhp Venom F5 Revolution Evolution production car. The F5 Evolution is the world's most powerful internal combustion road car and the next generation of Venom F5. All future F5 builds will feature Evolution enhancements as standard, while owners of the 32 customer cars already delivered can upgrade their model to the Evolution specification. Following an extensive development program, this next generation of America's Hypercar features a comprehensive set of updates that boost overall performance, handling, and comfort. The new 'Venom F5 Evolution' has increased power and torque, updated aerodynamics for improved downforce, new mode-adaptive suspension for enhanced handling and ride quality, new interior, plus an optional touring exhaust system and touring seats.

New Noise Cameras Pit Drivers of Fast Cars Against Their Neighbors
NEWPORT, R.I.—As the crimson Mustang GT rumbled toward winding Ocean Avenue on the rocky Atlantic coast, a roadside noise camera was listening. The device measured the Ford's throaty engine and exhaust at 85 decibels, two over Newport's limit, city records show. A camera snapped its license plate.
