However, it takes a different approach from the company\u2019s previous models. While the Venom F5 focuses on extreme power and maximum speed, the Blackbird has been designed to deliver a more involving and usable driving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-naturally-aspirated-v8-with-more-than-9-000rpm\"><strong>Naturally Aspirated V8 With More Than 9,000rpm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Power comes from an all-new 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 developed with Ilmor Engineering. Hennessey is targeting an output of 800-850hp, while the engine is expected to rev beyond 9,000rpm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/06063102\/hennessey-blackbird-specs-features-details-4-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"hennessey blackbird specs features price top speed acceleration\" class=\"wp-image-91812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/06063102\/hennessey-blackbird-specs-features-details-4-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/06063102\/hennessey-blackbird-specs-features-details-4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/06063102\/hennessey-blackbird-specs-features-details-4-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/06063102\/hennessey-blackbird-specs-features-details-4-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/06063102\/hennessey-blackbird-specs-features-details-4.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no turbochargers or hybrid motors. Hennessey says this decision will provide immediate throttle response, predictable power delivery and a stronger mechanical connection between the driver and the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The V8 is paired exclusively with a six-speed gated manual transmission, sending power to the rear wheels. Hennessey is targeting a 0\u2013100 km\/h time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 354 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hennessey-blackbird-technical-specifications\"><strong>Hennessey Blackbird Technical Specifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Specification<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Hennessey Blackbird<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Engine<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Engine Development<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Developed with Ilmor Engineering<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Target Power<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">800hp to 850hp<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Transmission<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Six-speed gated manual<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Drivetrain<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Rear-wheel drive<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0\u2013100 km\/h<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.5 seconds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Top Speed<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">220mph or approximately 354km\/h<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Chassis<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Bespoke full-carbon monocoque<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Body<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Carbon-fibre bodywork<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Target Dry Weight<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Under 1,360kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Suspension<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Inboard architecture with adaptive suspension<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tyres<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Driver Assistance<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Traction control and ABS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Luggage Capacity<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Two full-size carry-on bags, rear storage and cabin storage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Production<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Limited to 71 units<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Starting Price<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">USD 2.5 million, approximately AED 9.18 million<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Production Schedule<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Targeted to begin between 2029 and 2030<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lightweight-carbon-fibre-construction\"><strong>Lightweight Carbon-Fibre Construction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hennessey Blackbird is built around a newly developed full-carbon monocoque.

This should allow the Blackbird to provide a comfortable ride during long journeys while retaining the control required for more demanding roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres will be fitted as standard, while two Hennessey wheel designs will be available. The car will also feature traction control and ABS, although Hennessey has avoided adding complex electronic systems that could reduce driver involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-inspired-by-the-sr-71-blackbird\"><strong>Design Inspired By The SR-71 Blackbird<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SR-71 influence can be seen across the Blackbird\u2019s long and low body. Its sharp side profile, flowing surfaces and pronounced chine line are designed to resemble elements of the famous reconnaissance aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of its most unusual features is a pair of active vertical stabilisers at the rear. These deploy automatically when the car reaches 71mph and sit at angles of \u00b171 degrees.

The exhaust design takes inspiration from the Bell X-1, the aircraft that completed the first confirmed supersonic flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gullwing doors provide access to the cabin, while an optional Sky Glass roof creates a brighter interior.
