With the Hennessey Venom GT now making 1,451 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged V8 motor, Hennessey is considering taking a new direction after it debuts the even more powerful Venom F5 coming very soon.
While we wait for Hennessey’s next version of the Venom GT, the Venom FT, Hennessey, just in time for SEMA has debuted a 1,451 horsepower iteration of the previous Venom GT.
You’re just sitting there, in your 650+ horsepower Z/28 Camaro. Testing, tuning, doing runs up until 7,000 rpm. Then all of a sudden, “Hello, this is Onstar, are you ok?”
Whether it’s 200, 400, or 650, horsepower is a relative concept. Most people look at a C7 Corvette Z06 convertible and think, Wow. What a beast! Hennessey doesn’t.
Both the Camaro ZL1 and the Camaro Z/28 as stock, are blisteringly fast sportscars. The supercharged ZL1 is a tower of low down dirty torque, and the super sticky Z/28 is a racecar for the road. However, in a world where John Hennessey exists, nothing has enough horsepower for the mad Texan.
This week’s Dyno Blast video features a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray fitted with the Hennessey Performance HPE1000 package, which lifts the output from 460 horsepower to 1,000 horsepower.
