Hennessey Unveils Plan for Six-Wheel-Drive All-Electric Hyper-GT


TGR Staff - 11/30/2021

Hennessey has unveiled part of its 10-year product plan that will see three all-new ground-up models created over the next decade. Project Deep Space will be the world’s first six-wheel-drive, fully electric Hyper-GT and is being promoted that it will be the world's most expensive electric vehicle with a starting price of around $3 million. 

The ambitious vehicle will be an ultra-luxurious grand tourer, with space for four adults, a cavernous luggage compartment, and speed channeled through six wheels. The diamond seating position puts the driver in the center and is said to bring private-jet-class luxury to the GT market. 

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

Hennessey Special Vehicles will construct the new car at its advanced production facility in Sealy, Texas. Hennessey will work closely with technology partners including Shell Pennzoil and Delta Cosworth to develop the electrified powertrain. The dedicated Texas 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 has spent more than 30 years building some of the fastest and most exciting vehicles in the world, 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!

CEO & Founder, John Hennessey.

Full specifications for ‘Project Deep Space’ are yet to be announced, but Hennessey has confirmed that pricing will start at $3 million US Dollars and production will be capped at 105 units globally to ensure exclusivity for its customers. Production is planned to begin in 2026.
