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.

Venom F5 Revolution is the new beast on the road

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.

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.
