Hennessey Camaro ZL1 Exorcist Final Edition with 1,000 HP

October 13, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

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

July 20, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

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, i.e. up to 58,000 kilometers traveled.

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.

Venom F5 Revolution is the new beast on the road

January 10, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

All car enthusiasts know that the Venom F5 is one of the most powerful and fastest cars in the world. Now at the end of the week, Hennessey will unveil the limited edition of the ultra sports model, Venom F5 Revolution.

Compared to the standard F5, the Revolution is equipped with better-tuned adaptive suspension elements and aerodynamic body solutions with which the F5 Revolution will have significantly better cornering grip. Under the hood is a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,817 hp (1,336 kW) and 1,193 lb-ft (1,617 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox.

The F5 Revolution weighs only 1,360 kilograms, which is 25 kg less than the Venom F5. Hennessey says that the multi-adjustable rear spoiler, at a speed of 400 km/h, ensures 635 kilograms of pressure on the rear axle. Handling will also be helped by the larger diameter of the ultra-light rims with tires for use only on the track.

The car will be produced in only 24 examples of which, as the company from Texas claims, most of them have been sold. The price of each F5 Revolution is $2.7 million.
