Hennessey revealed the Roadster at The Quail in Monterey, California, at a price from £2.5 million; coupe production had already sold out in 2021. Production of the Roadster was scheduled to start that November.
The Roadster weighs 1,406 kg against 1,360 kg for the coupe. The roof panel weighs 8 kg and can be removed by one person, and the rear glass panel was developed and certified for jet aircraft use.
