It’s very limited production run
Transforming a big, shouty, fire-breathing American hypercar into a stealthier, track-focused toy takes some doing. Around 2,350 hours of doing, as it turns out. This is Hennessey's Venom F5 'Stealth Series' car.Only three of these two-seat

We miss proper road-focused sport trucks. We're talking about things like the GMC Syclone from the early 1990s and the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning and Dodge Ram SRT-10 from the 2000s. Recent trends have seen manufacturers and tuners

Say hello to the new VelociRaptoR 6x6
Hennessey has really taken to the 6x6 market in recent years, with a Mammoth 6?-6 TRX, a Goliath 6?-6 Silverado, and a VelociRaptor 6x6 F-150 all on offer from the Texan tuner. Oh, and there's the slightly left-

How much power does your camper need?
Looks like Texan-tuner Hennessey is branching out from building 1,000bhp+ Mustangs, six-wheeled pickup trucks and bespoke 400kph+ hypercars, because it has just announced a new options package that it's calling the 'Overland Edition'.OTHER STORIES YOU MIGHT HAVE

Wig wearers of the world look away now, for this is the blustery new 400kph+ Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster. Good grief.Hennessey says the Roadster is "nearly identical mechanically" to the F5 coupe, with the carbon-fiber tub meaning just "minor adjustments"

We'd like to believe we can never have too much horsepower. But when it comes to the number of wheels on a ride, it depends-we dig the 450hp Hennessey Goliath 6x6 just as much as the next guy, but sometimes,
“This news changes nothing for us”
For the last few years, there's been a lighthearted ding-dong between a few car companies as to who'd crack 300mph (482.8kph) first. It's largely been a three-way fight, with Bugatti, Hennessey and Koenigsegg all putting irons

Are Guinness World Records still relevant?
Last weekend, a Koenigsegg Agera RS went to a very straight stretch of road in Nevada, pointed its nose at the horizon and let rip. Once it'd done that, it spun around and did the same again.The result of these
