if i ask you, what is the fastest commercially available car on the planet? you might think of bugatti and koenigsegg. but the fastest car at present is a brand in the united states that modifies lotus, called hennessey. the hennessey venom f5 it produces can reach a land speed of 500km/h, which is terrifying. and now, this company has launched a monster that combines terrifying top speed with wonderful driving pleasure. limited to 12 units, with a maximum horsepower of 1,817 and a 6-speed manual, this is the world's most powerful manual convertible: hennessey venom f5-m roadster. the significantly redesigned venom f5-m roadster focuses on a six-speed pure manual transmission, and its core purpose is to amplify driving passion. in addition to the amplification of driving passion achieved by the convertible cockpit, hennessey also chose a shift mechanism with a pure physical transmission connection.

"driving the venom f5 is already an exhilarating experience," said john hennessey, founder and ceo of the company. "but we never stand still. that's why we're taking a deeper look at how to get more driving pleasure out of it. our approach is to find every point of contact between the vehicle and the body to provide connection. like the feedback from your hands and feet, the participation of the sound waves. we believe that the venom f5-m roadster will be the most intense, immersive and extreme driving experience on the planet, and we are honored to complete this great car with twelve lucky customers!"

hennessey engineer brian jones worked with the company's experienced tuning team to redesign some details of the engine to pair it with the new manual transmission ratio, making it possible to pair the 1,817-horsepower engine with a manual transmission. the gradual release of power will ensure that the venom f5-m has devastating acceleration, while using power delivery to achieve the pursuit of extreme speed. only 12 venom f5-m roadsters will be produced and all have been sold, with a starting price of us$2.65 million (approximately rmb 16 million) and a unique paint job unique to this model series. in addition to the different body color and unique carbon fiber imprints for each customer, the manual venom f5 will maintain the most special interior and exterior features of the series. one of the most obvious differences is the addition of a huge 1,400 mm dorsal fin that extends from the roof-mounted air intake to the trailing edge of the rear deck.

inside the cockpit, the redesigned interior highlights the elevated aluminum gear lever, which is precisely positioned close to the driver for the most perfect gear shifting operation. nathan malinick, hennessey design director, said: "this is a car for the brave driving enthusiast who enjoys the unbridled power, dramatic design and driving experience of a supercar that is unmatched by anything else on earth."

malinick and his team created a custom livery for the f5-m that accentuates the car's lines, emphasizes its convertible nature and draws inspiration from traditional motorsport design. viewed from the front, exposed carbon fiber is combined with a colored center line and a contrasting, contrasting accent stripe that runs all the way to the windshield. the stripe continues across the roof, along the dorsal fin and to the rear edge of the rear bonnet, also connecting the exterior of the car to the cockpit, while the spine line is mirrored from under the roof to the center console.

the predecessor of this new convertible manual hennessey supercar is the world record-holding hennessey venom gt spyder. that car remains the world's fastest convertible road car, setting the world's fastest sports car speed record in 2016 at 265.6 mph (427.6 km/h), a record that still stands today. the venom f5-m roadster will inherit the glory of its predecessor and challenge the faster speed record.
