Naming your car after the SR-71 Blackbird is a bold move. The Cold War-era spy plane is among the coolest aircraft of all time, with an iconic shape and record-shattering speed and altitude. It should come as no surprise that Hennessey is bold enough to do it, but ironically, the new Hennessey Blackbird has the opposite objective of the iconic spy plane. Hennessey calls the Blackbird "analog overload," and it is about as analog as brand-new supercars get. Mixed messages aside, the Blackbird has a naturally aspirated V8, a manual transmission, analog gauges without any additional screens, and even a turn-key ignition.
