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.

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.

Ford Mustang Dark Horse with 850 HP

Last year, Ford introduced the seventh generation Mustang Dark Horse, an extremely powerful car with everything that this car has been known for generations. However, Hennessey believes that this car is capable of much more, so they introduced their own version called the H850.

The standard Ford Mustang Dark Horse is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. The engine upgrade comes with a three-year warranty or up to 58,000 kilometers.

Dark Horse, which is offered only in the Coupé version, is finished in red. The exterior design, decorated with white stickers, has been refreshed with several carbon elements such as a new front splitter, carbon-fiber side skirts, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Hennessey’s main focus was on engine upgrades. It is equipped with a mechanical compressor, an upgraded intake system, a new fuel pump, a more open exhaust and recalibrated electronics. It is mounted on 19-inch rims behind which are upgraded Brembo brakes.

“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.

Inside, nothing has been changed. This means that the car comes 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.

Meanwhile, Ford will soon offer the Mustang Dark Horse in both S and R (track-only) versions.
