The new Hennessey Blackbird is scheduled for its public unveiling in August at the “The Quail” classic car show in California. The model derives its name from the legendary reconnaissance aircraft, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. This iteration represents a more streamlined and “analog” interpretation compared to the high-output Hennessey Venom F5.
Despite its classic aesthetic concept, the vehicle incorporates advanced modern technology. The body structure is constructed from carbon fiber, resulting in a lightweight build weighing only 1,360 kg. The design evokes a cinematic vision, reminiscent of a vintage Chevrolet Impala reimagined as a powerful street machine.
Significant attention has been paid to the car’s aerodynamics. Instead of employing a large rear wing, the Blackbird features a smaller spoiler, paired with two fin-like elements and specialized air channels designed to improve compression forces. Further design details include front-mounted headlights and exhaust pipes, with the front grille and exhaust system finished in stainless steel.
The Hennessey Blackbird aims to blend nostalgic styling with cutting-edge engineering in this new car offering.
