Hennessey Super Venom based on the Mustang Dark Horse

American company Hennessey Performance has unveiled its latest Super Venom project. It is an upgrade package for the Ford Mustang Dark Horse and Mustang GT. Only 91 units will be produced.

This project is somewhat different from those that Hennessey has presented so far. The Super Venom is equipped with the VenomAero equipment kit made of carbon fiber, which includes a front splitter, a ventilation opening on the hood, functional openings on the front fenders, sports sills, mirror housings, a new trunk lid with an integrated spoiler and a fixed rear wing. The handling and grip have been upgraded, so now drivers can count on greater safety on the road or track at high speeds. Customers can choose between three liveries in black, silver and red.

The interior has not been changed much. There are leather and Alcantara seats with embossed backrests, floor mats, as well as a numbered plaque on the dashboard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Super Venom is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 862 hp and 880 Nm of torque. This is a 70% increase in power compared to the Dark Horse, which was achieved thanks to improved injectors, a new engine management system, a high-performance supercharger, a high-flow air intake system and a new fuel pump. This allows the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds.

Speaking of price, the Mustang GT-based Super Venom costs $149,950, while the upgraded Dark Horse is slightly more expensive at $163,950.

Hennessey Venom 800 based on the Ford F-150

The Venom 800 is a new car from the American hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator, Hennessey, based on the Ford F-150 but with more power.

The car is powered by a 5.0-L V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 757 lb-ft (1,026 Nm) of torque, a big increase in power over the standard F-150 with 400 hp (294 kW) and 410 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque. The increase was achieved thanks to the installation of a compressor, improvement of the air-to-water intercooler, a high-performance fuel injection system and a new high-flow intake system. The result is an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, which is significantly better than the Ram 1500 TRX and the F-150 Raptor R.

Hennessey equipped the Venom 800 with branded front and rear bumpers to provide maximum protection in the toughest off-road conditions, electronic fold-out steps, LED off-road lights on the front bumper, BDX suspension with Fox shock absorbers that raise the vehicle by an additional 152 mm, with a carbon fiber front grille, massive 6 piston Brembo performance brakes for optimum performance, and 20-inch rims with 35-inch off-road tires for exceptional performance and reliability.

The interior is also slightly changed, with new items including quilted headrests, all-weather floor mats, American flag inserts and serial number plates.

Only 250 cars will be produced, and the price has not been announced.

Mustang Dark Horse H850

Two years ago, Ford introduced the extremely powerful seventh generation Mustang Dark Horse, and in 2023, the American hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator Hennessey revealed the H850 version based on this model. It took a year for Hennessey to start production of this car.

“Our supercharged Mustang builds have continuously been customer favorites over the years, and Ford’s improved S650 platform will prove to be its most capable. Without question, our supercharged 850 horsepower Dark Horse model will be one of the most exciting and powerful muscle cars on the road — sure to turn heads with its distinctive supercharger wail and exhaust note,” said company founder and CEO John Hennessey in 2023.

The interior remained original with high-quality materials and an adaptive 12.4-inch display in combination with a high-resolution 13.2-inch display of the multimedia system, which replaces the old instrument panel.

This Mustang Dark Horse is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 850 hp (643 kW) and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Mustang Dark Horse has 500 hp (368 kW) and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque. The increase in power was achieved thanks to the installation of a new fuel pump, nozzles and compressor, as well as a high-flow air intake. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. The upgraded engine comes with a three-year or 36,000-mile (58,000 km) warranty.

Hennessey said the car accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and covers 402 meters in 10.9 seconds with a top speed of 214 km/h (133 mph). The price of the car is not known.
