A millionaire YouTuber receives a $3 million hypercar… and pushes it to the limit on its very first outing
When you collect hypercars like others collect sneakers, every new arrival is an event. Steve Hamilton, creator of the YouTube channel The Hamilton Collection, has just received one of the most exclusive cars on the market right now: the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Roadster. A beast of 1,817 horsepower, proudly produced in the United States, priced at $3 million and promising sensations worthy of a Formula 1… but in a convertible version.

The Venom F5 Revolution is a true monster
As you might expect, the Venom F5 Revolution Roadster is not just a collector’s car. Not even a “simple” supercar, in fact. Hennessey has reworked the coupe version of the F5 to give it impressive track capabilities, with a finely tuned chassis, more aggressive aerodynamics, and a revised suspension. The goal? To offer a machine as radical as possible for thrill-seekers. The engine, a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8, is nicknamed “Fury” for good reason. It develops 1,817 horsepower and 1,193 Nm of torque, propelling this wheeled rocket to mind-blowing speeds. To maintain a minimum level of control, Hennessey has installed a gigantic rear wing, reworked air intakes, and an even more aggressive diffuser. But the true standout feature of this version? A removable carbon fiber roof, weighing only 17.63 lbs, allowing you to enjoy the sky… all while flirting with extreme speeds.
A 100% customized hypercar
When you buy such an exclusive hypercar, you might as well make it unique. Steve Hamilton chose an ultra-metallic bright green paint, so as not to go unnoticed, even in a collection that already includes Bugatti and Koenigsegg hypercars, and McLaren and Ferrari supercars, among others. On the rear wing, there is a subtly painted “ghost” American flag—a nod to the origin of this racing beast made in the United States. Another striking detail: the mismatched seats, one green, the other black, adding a unique touch to this example.
The Hennessey badge on the front is made of carbon fiber, as are most of the body elements. And to protect this unique paint, a PPF (Paint Protection Film) was applied at the factory—a rarity in the industry! But what does Steve love most about this car? The steering wheel, directly inspired by the controls of an F1 car or a fighter jet. Not a classic round one, but a “yoke” shape that gives the impression of a race cockpit.
A first outing that makes a statement
After discovering his new toy, Steve didn’t just leave it in the garage. He took it out on the road at night for a first, high-octane drive. The result: lightning-fast accelerations, a monstrous sound, and even flames from the exhaust during downshifts. And because he never does things by halves, he ended the video by doing donuts in his parking lot—his personal signature. A spectacle that perfectly captures the spirit of the Venom F5 Revolution Roadster: a fierce hypercar, limited to only 12 units in the world , just waiting to be pushed to the extreme.
