Hennessey, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer, has revealed part of its 10-year product plan that will see three all-new ground-up models created over the next decade. The first debut, which follows the Venom F5, will be the world’s first six-wheel-drive, fully electric Hyper-GT codenamed Project Deep Space.

Priced from $3 million, the car is touted as the world’s most expensive EV (electric vehicle). The ultra-luxurious grand tourer is being designed and engineered to transport four adults in comfort along with four sets of golf clubs plus luggage. Hennessey says that the car will be “devastatingly fast,” with unmatched traction thanks to its unique six-wheel-drive powertrain and a 50% increase in surface contact over traditional four-wheeled vehicles.

“Hennessey has spent more than 30 years building some of the fastest and most exciting vehicles in the world,” said company CEO & Founder, John Hennessey. “This mantra will continue for our next 30 years by introducing the world’s first fully electrified, six-wheel-drive hyper-GT. We believe that ‘Deep Space,’ with six electric motors combined with six driven wheels, could be the world’s quickest accelerating four-seater from zero to 200 mph.”

The Project Deep Space passenger cabin uses a unique diamond-shaped seating configuration. The centrally located driver permits two passengers to sit to the side and slightly back from the driver, with the fourth passenger positioned directly behind the driver in a zero-gravity seat. That last position, the world’s first VVIP (Very Very Important Person) lie-flat automotive seat, is intended to bring private-jet-class luxury to the hyper-GT world.

“In Project Deep Space, we’ve merged the essence of early-twentieth-century grand tourers with an otherworldly hyper GT form…,” said Hennessey Director of Design, Nathan Malinick. “Integrating many industry firsts, our next all-new model turns the EV hypercar concept on its head while exhibiting our ‘art of reduction’ design philosophy. By combining Hennessey’s passion for performance with the pinnacle of automotive luxury, we will offer our customers the best of both worlds with a central driving position, ample space for passengers, room for luggage, and best-in-class performance.”

Project Deep Space, with 100% new design and engineering, will be constructed with an ultra-lightweight carbon-fiber chassis and body panels with large gullwing doors. The interior will be fitted with the highest quality materials, with bespoke ordering to customize each electric hyper-GT to the wishes of discerning clients.

“I’ve been building some of the world’s fastest accelerating vehicles for decades, yet they have always been performance-limited by mechanical grip,” said Hennessey. “Six-wheeled electric propulsion is the solution. The technology is unprecedented in this segment—both forward-thinking and innovative. Our design and engineering team is excited about embracing the future.

Hennessey Special Vehicles will construct the new electric hyper-GT at its production facility in Sealy, TX. The facility, which is currently building the Hennessey Venom F5 hypercar, sits adjacent to the Hennessey Performance factory that produces more than 600 high-performance cars and trucks each year.

Hennessey will work with technology partners including Shell’s Pennzoil and Delta Cosworth to develop the electrified powertrain.

“I recently had the opportunity to visit the Hennessey team and to hear the exciting news about their electric hypercar,” said Carlos Maurer, EVP of Sectors & Decarbonization at Shell. “It’s clear that electric vehicles will play an increasingly important role in mobility. Our collaboration with Hennessey will provide us with an extreme testbed for developing our own innovative fluids and lubricants as we strive to be at the forefront of this transition to a lower-carbon future.”

Hennessey, the company, started in 1991 when Hennessey, the founder, began modifying imports out of his garage, which soon morphed into building 1000-hp (746-kW) twin-turbo Dodge Vipers. The Hennessey business now comprises Hennessey Special Vehicles, Hennessey Performance Engineering, Tuner School, and the Lonestar Motorsports Park. The company has re-engineered more than 12,000 vehicles for performance enthusiasts around the world.

Project Deep Space, part of Hennessey’s strategic 10-year product plan, is scheduled to follow the production of the sold-out Venom F5 coupe. The $2.1 million, twin-turbocharged, 6.6-L V8 hypercar boasts 1817 hp (1355 kW) and 1193 lb·ft (1617 N·m), making it the most powerful hypercar ever made.

After showing a pair of Venom F5 customer cars at Monterey Car Week in August and confirming the sell-out of remaining models of the 24-vehicle run, the engineering team has returned to final validation testing on roads and racing circuits. The final phase of testing will see the team refine the car’s full-power acceleration, high-speed stability, and braking. When the engineering team signs off on this final development phase, Hennessey expects to announce a top speed surpassing 311 mph (500 km/h).

Since it’s a long road to 2026, full specifications of Project Deep Space are yet to be announced, but Hennessey has confirmed that production will begin in 2026 and be capped at 105 units globally to ensure exclusivity.

The CEO provided a few other details during the car’s YouTube reveal.

“If four electric motors are good, then maybe six electric motors are better,” he said, regarding initial discussions around the six-motor format. “At 400 hp per motor, that’s way over 2000 hp.”

Another benefit is the “super-long” wheelbase. “We’re talking 220 inches,” said Hennessey.

Battery-technology partner Delta Cosworth is excited about the “incredible” range potential that provides.
