The Hennessey Blackbird is a next-generation, fully bespoke, grand touring hypercar that takes design inspiration from the SR71 Blackbird. Production will be limited to 71 units globally, and demand is expected to supersede available allocations. Inquiries will be responded to on a first-come-first-serve basis.
A different path forward
Built from experience. Refined by passion. For more than 35 years, Hennessey has pushed the limits of performance. But BLACKBIRD® is not simply the next step forward. It is a step back-to the moments that made us fall in love with driving in the first place. In a world defined by screens, automation, and isolation, we chose to build something different.
A hypercar shaped by the experience, informed by the clients, and driven by a singular idea:
That connection between car and driver should NEVER be compromised. BLACKBIRD® is the purest expression of that belief.
From that expression, BLACKBIRD® comes to life.
American power. Felt, not filtered
At its core, BLACKBIRD® is defined by a completely bespoke American-built V8—engineered to deliver not just performance, but character.
Targeting 850 horsepower, it delivers relentless acceleration with a rawness and immediacy that modern hypercars often filter out.
Paired exclusively with a 6-speed gated manual transmission, every shift is deliberate, mechanical, and deeply engaging.
It’s a level of driver involvement that has largely disappeared—and one we refused to leave behind.
The result is power that isn’t just measured—it’s experienced. Felt through the chassis Heard through every gear Delivered without interruption
ENGINE: All-new naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 developed for Blackbird® with Ilmor Engineering
HORSEPOWER: Target ~800-850 BHP
TRANSMISSION: 6-Speed Gated Manual
CONFIGURATION: Rear-Wheel Drive
Output matters. Engagement matters more.
That same philosophy extends through the entire car.
