Hennessey Camaro ZL1 Exorcist Final Edition with 1,000 HP

American hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator, Hennessey Performance, has unveiled its latest work, the Hennessey Camaro ZL1 Exorcist Final Edition, based on the Chevrolet Camaro.

The Chevrolet Camaro is retiring next year, and Hennessey is saying goodbye to this car in a great way, producing 57 examples of the super powerful car. The ZL1 Exorcist Final Edition is powered by a 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine with 1,000 hp (735 kW) and 996 lb-ft (1,350 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in just over 2 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h). As a reminder, the standard Camaro is powered by the same engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of torque.

Hennessey does not focus on design, but on the engine. So, the power is increased thanks to a bigger compressor, better air intake and an improved fuel system with a new pump and nozzles. The engine also features ported cylinder heads and new camshafts, and upgraded components include valves, springs, lifters, pushrods, high-flow catalytic converters and more.

Hennessey plans to produce only 57 examples of this super powerful car.
