Hennessey Performance is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the limited edition model
It is all about horsepower when it comes to Hennessey Performance. These guys do not need any introduction or whatsoever. They are actually making 25 years of thriving and success (Viper is jealous now) and to commemorate this, they have created a really special Mustang series. Let’s not exaggerate things and say that this is only a visual update to what they have achieved so far with their latest Mustang HPE800.
What do we have underneath the hood of the ‘Stang? A supercharged unit of the powerful 5.0L V8 engine. How much power does it deliver? It is now capable of way more horses than the stock ones, precisely: 804 bhp (591 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 878 Nm (648 lb-ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm.

Performance-wise, the acceleration time to 60 mph from standstill happens within an instant. Well, a little bit more – just in 3.1 seconds, while the quarter mile is reached in 10.7 seconds. The top speed now goes beyond 207.9 mph.
There are also some significant updates that help the car extract as much power as possible and they are made to the fuel and intake system. The fuel pump as well as the injectors, the custom intake ducts have all been subjected to an upgrade.
Visual updates are probably the most exclusive part of this project, since they make it stand out and also show that it is an anniversary edition. A lot of carbon fiber has been involved here – the precious material has been used for the covers, front splitter, side sills and rear lip spoiler. Riding on beautiful 20-inch H10 alloys mated with Michelins, this Mustang is ready to conquer mountains and any tough road in general. A lot of badging is showing the significance of the here presented anniversary muscle car.
Hennessey Ford Mustang HPE800 25th Anniversary Edition will be produced in only 25 examples. So if you want one, you’d better hurry. I’m definitely counting my money.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 equipped with Hennessey Performance HPE800 upgrade has been just tested from 0 to 175 mph at Houston’s Ellington Airport. To make the staggering performance available for the eyes of others, including you, Hennessey also released a video, which displays how the Chevy made things happen. The video is extremely beautiful and this is why I sincerely urge you to watch it!
Hennessey Chevrolet Corvette Z06 HPE800 offers nothing less but power and exceptional driving experience. And we don’t have to even convince you of that since it is a well known fact that the tuning company shows outstanding expertise in output uprating. What we have here is the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 which has been fitted with HPE800 upgrade and has been tested to the limits. And there is a video below to make things even more graphic.
“From mild to wild” goes the tagline of Hennessey Performance‘s latest project. It’s called the HPE800 and the subject is the mighty McLaren MP4-12C. It takes courage to call the Surrey originating performance car, mild. But Hennessey seem to be determined that the MP4-12C needs more power so that is just what they have done – ramped the power up to 800 bhp. The project also sees a more flamboyant aero package to the vehicle in order to improve downforce. The Hennessey CarbonAero bodywork makes use of a new, center-positioned frontal air inlet with hood extractor. This new design allows room for larger heat exchangers for improved engine intercooling as well as transmission cooling.
