Venom 1000 based on Mustang Shelby GT500

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a car with impressive performance, but there are also those who think this supercar could be even better. One of them is the Hennessey Performance tuner, which equipped the Venom 1000 (as it was called) with 1,000 hp.

The car is powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine with 1,000 hp (735 kW) and 857 lb-ft (1,162 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power compared to the factory GT500 which has 760 hp (559 kW) and 625 lb-ft (847 Nm) of torque.

The car is equipped with a modified compressor, improved engine cooling system, new intercooler, improved fuel supply system, new air / oil separator, more durable tensioners and anodized fuel pipes. Venom 1000 can also use E85 ethanol as fuel.

Given the fact that most will never have the opportunity to drive a car like this, Hennessey has prepared a video showing what the Venom 1000 can actually do.

It is the opposite of the standard twin-turbo 2.6-liter in-line six-cylinder engine with 330 hp (246 kW) and 289 lb-ft (392 Nm) of torque, which powers the base Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R.
