I believe I have a fantastic Henneseey there
While the EV violence is flying around you left and right, Ford recently casually presented a new generation Mustang that will also be available again with an atmospheric eight-cylinder. Today we are introduced to a very potent Mustang: the Venom 1200 Mustang GT500.
Unlike the new Mustang, the Venom 1200 Mustang GT500 is not a creation of Ford, but of the bland horsepower adepts of Hennessey Performance. Those Texans love nothing more than topping American-made cars to the top of the roof with huge amounts of horsepower. As the name of the gas-powered device, armed to the teeth, suggests, the Venom 1200 GT500 is based on the Shelby GT500, although it has undergone considerable tinkering.
Like the Shelby GT500, the Venom 1200 GT500 has a handmade 5.2 V8 under the hood. Thanks to, among other things, the arrival of a much larger supercharger, that eight-cylinder does not stamp 770 hp and 847 Nm to the rear wheels, but 1,200 hp and 1,223 Nm. Hennessey Performance also makes further adjustments to the air intake path, the injectors, the oil cooling and the transmission. Hennessey Performance builds 66 copies. The heavy upgrade will cost you about €60,000 in the United States. Then you still have to supply a Shelby GT500 yourself. For the historically sound sticker sheet, which refers to the Ford GT40 that participated in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1966, you have to add about €5,000.
