Unveiling ‘Project Overlord’: Hennessey’s Manual Hypercar to Rule the Roads

Hennessey Performance Teases Upcoming Hypercar ‘Project Overlord’

Hennessey Performance has given enthusiasts a sneak peek into its highly anticipated hypercar, codenamed ‘Project Overlord’. The official unveiling is set for August 3, 2026.

Recently, Hennessey wowed spectators at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with the debut of the Venom F5-M. This hypercar boasts over 2000 horsepower and features a rare 6-speed gated manual transmission. Limited to just 12 units, the Venom F5-M is a coveted masterpiece. However, for those who missed out on securing one, fret not, as Hennessey has a more extraordinary surprise in the works.

Project Overlord marks Hennessey’s next venture into manual hypercars, with a brand-new engine specifically designed to complement the manual gearbox. While specific details remain confidential, the excitement surrounding this project continues to build.

When it comes to design, insiders have hinted at a more elegant and serene aesthetic for Project Overlord compared to the Venom F5. The teaser image reveals a single, circular taillight, a departure from the F5’s signature U-shaped design. This subtle yet impactful change draws parallels to classic models like the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.
