Hennessey Performance

After teasing for a time, Hennessey has finally unveiled the production version of its insane Venom F5 hypercar. The vehicle is powered by a “Fury” 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that makes 1817 horsepower and 1193 lb-ft.

Thanks to their custom-tuned and custom-built engines, Hennessey Performance makes some seriously badass vehicles. Now, the Sealy, Texas tuner is showing off one of the most powerful V8 engines we’ve seen this side of a top fuel dragster.

While much of the recent Corvette buzz is about the mid-engined 2020 Corvette, the C7 is not only a car you can walk into a dealership and buy today, but is the only way you can get a supercharged V8 in a Vette for the foreseeable future.

The tuning experts at Hennessey Performance have unveiled what it calls the ultimate Gladiator, and it sure seems like an accurate description. The 2020 Hennessey Maximus 1000 is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator with the puny V6 pulled out, and a 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat V8 put inside.

Let’s face it. The folks over at Hennessey Performance are insane. They build cars with way more power than they really need or can use much of the time. Take the new HPE1200 kit for the C7 Corvette ZR1.

Packing a 707 hp Hellcat HEMI V8 straight from the factory, we already know that the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a monster. But the guys at Hennessey Performance are never satisfied with stock, and cranked theirs up to make an extra 500 horses or so.

When it announced the car was in the works last year, Hennessey Special Vehicles said that it wanted the Venom F5 hypercar to hit 300 mph. Like most, we expected that meant 301 mph. As it turns out, Hennessey has a bit more speed in mind for the car.

Hennessey Performance is celebrating the construction of its 10,000th vehicle, and is kicking off the party with a limited-edition Mustang. The ride is called the 2019 Hennessey Heritage Edition Mustang and it wears a livery inspired by the Ford GT Heritage Edition.

The 2018 Lincoln Navigator is gigantic luxury SUV aimed squarely at the livery market, but that didn’t stop the madmen at Hennessey Performance from transforming the vehicle into a powerful beast capable of hitting 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds.

Last year, Hennessey Performance showed off their attempt to crush the monstrous Dodge Challenger SRT Demon with their Camaro ZL1-based monster The Exorcist. Now, the guys from Hennessey have proven just how impressive their tuned gen-6 Camaro really is by demonstrating just how fast it can go.

Getting the Christmas tree home can be a bit of a chore. A 6-foot-tall fir tree doesn’t really fit into most cars, so many have to bum a truck or rent one to get your tree home.

The Ford Focus RS is already a hot hatch by all accounts with 350 hp, AWD and a slick drift-mode. If you want more power out of the little 2.3-liter four under the hood, you can get that with a new package Hennessey Performance is offering.
