A remarkably low-mileage 2023 Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Coupe is about to become one of the headline lots of Monterey Car Week. Broad Arrow Auctions will offer the track-focused hypercar as Lot 161 at The Quail Auction 2026 on August 13, carrying a pre-sale estimate of $2,900,000 to $3,200,000. It joins a strong lineup of seven-figure machines crossing the block during Monterey week, including a one-off McLaren Elva headed to Mecum's sale. Just 24 examples of the Revolution were built, and this particular car, chassis HSVVNMF5CR0923021, shows a mere 508 miles since it left the factory.
The car's specification reads like a wish list. Its two-tone "Exposed Carbon Fade" finish, blending Bullet Silver over the nose into exposed Cosmetic Carbon at the rear haunches, was a $404,000 factory option on its own, complemented by teal accents on the brake calipers and aero pieces. Motivation comes from Hennessey's own 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged "Fury" V8, which sends 1,817 horsepower and 1,193 lb-ft of torque through a seven-speed CIMA semi-automatic transmission to the rear wheels alone. With a dry weight under 3,000 pounds, the Revolution used that power to set a production car lap record at Circuit of the Americas in March 2024, beating the previous benchmark set by a McLaren P1 by nearly seven seconds.
The Revolution is the track-focused sibling of Hennessey's Venom F5 lineup, a car born from company founder John Hennessey's pursuit of a 300 mph production car. Unveiled at the 2023 Miami Motorcar Cavalcade Concours d'Elegance, the Revolution added a towering rear wing, dive planes, a roof-mounted air scoop, and stiffer Penske dampers to the standard F5's already extreme aerodynamic package, along with a telemetry system for logging lap times and cornering data. Hennessey Performance has spent more than three decades building its reputation, evolving from muscle car and pickup tuning into a clean-sheet hypercar manufacturer with the help of British aero and chassis specialists TotalSim and Delta Motorsport.
This particular Venom F5 Revolution has spent its entire life with a single Texas-based owner, and returned to Hennessey's headquarters in March 2026 for a substantial round of service and updates. Beyond routine maintenance, the car received the brand's Evolution package, adding adaptive suspension, revised brakes and steering, and a reworked front clip with a new splitter, dive planes, and a larger rear spoiler; an invoice on file lists the total work at nearly $180,000. The sale also includes Hennessey's signature Treasure Chest, an aluminum crate holding the owner's manual, a chassis-matched car cover, and a leather-lined box for the spare key.
Ultra-limited modern hypercars like the Venom F5 Revolution rarely have enough transaction history to appear in Hagerty's valuation tools, but the record-setting machines it is often cross-shopped against offer some useful context. Hagerty's price guide currently lists the Bugatti Veyron, which held the production-car top-speed record for over a decade, at roughly $1,500,000 in #3 (Good) condition, and the McLaren P1, whose Circuit of the Americas lap record the Revolution eventually broke, checks in at a similar $1,500,000 in #3 condition. Those figures suggest a market that has settled well below original sticker prices even for genre-defining hypercars, though the Venom F5 Revolution's 24-unit production run, recent factory upgrades, and delivery-mileage condition put it in a different category than either car. Buyers curious how other hypercars and Monterey-week consignments are trending can dig deeper using Motorious's own research tool.
Whichever way the bidding goes on August 13, the Venom F5 Revolution's rarity, near-showroom condition, and freshly updated hardware make it one of the more significant modern hypercars to reach public auction this year, and a useful data point for tracking where seven-figure, limited-run machines are headed next.
