Fastest Mustang ever not fast enough? Hennessey has found another 400hp...
Once upon a time, it seemed that ever-increasing outputs from OEMs would put paid to a lot of aftermarket tuning. Who would need more when standard cars already had hundreds and hundreds of horsepower? Turns out that belief was nonsense; Hennessey, true to its mantra ‘making fast cars faster’ has turned its attention toIn fact, this Venom 1200 has a little more than advertised. Its 1,204 imperial horsepower rating is 1,220hp in metric, or twice the output of a Huracan RWD.
Hennessey has conjured up these amazing numbers with extensive upgrades to the Voodoo 5.2 flat-plane-crank V8 found in an ordinary GT500. Naturally, the supercharged is bigger - now 3.8-litres - and the Venom also benefits from higher flow induction to feed that chunkier ‘charger, new fuel rails, beefier injectors and a host of heavy-duty ancillaries to contain 58 per cent more power than standard.
Hennessey plans to convert 66 Shelby GT500s into Venom 1200 spec; the Daytona homage livery seen here is $5k on top. But the package itself doesn’t seem an awful lot of money, at least in the grand scheme of 1,200hp cars: give Hennessey a Shelby and $60,000, and you’ll get a Venom 1200 in return. Given there are already GT500s for sale in the US for $85k, the potential is there for a 1,220hp Mustang just like this one for $150,000. Or less than £130k.
