John Hennessey, the company’s founder, expressed excitement about this milestone: “It’s old school, it’s badass, and it offers ultimate driving engagement.” The Venom F5-M Roadster, with its aerodynamic enhancements like a 55-inch dorsal fin and stunning open-top design, will see just 12 units produced, each priced at $2.65 million. Despite the high price, all units have already sold, underscoring the demand for exclusive, high-performance vehicles.
