To mark 25 rubber-shredding years in business, Hennessey Performance has decided to do what it does best with the new Ford Mustang – take an American muscle car and pump it full of steroids. Hennessey Performance's latest special edition modified Mustang offers a 320 km/h top speed and will be limited to just 25 examples, one for every year the company has been supercharging engines, lowering suspension and recasting car bodies in drag reducing carbon fiber.
The result – the 25th Anniversary Hennessey Mustang can be specified in coupé or convertible form, but regardless of preference for wind-in-the-hair motoring or not, the car will deliver a staggering 804 bhp. The car, based on a GT-specification Ford Mustang, also promises a 0-100 km/h time of 3.1 seconds, and a standing quarter-mile time of 10.7 seconds.
The standard Mustang GT is no slouch either, thanks to its 5 litre V8 engine, but to push things onto another level, Hennessey has added a 2.9 litre supercharger and tweaked the engine sufficiently to cope with these extra induction demands. There are new fuel injectors, a new fuel pump, upgraded gaskets and fluids, revised exhaust, better air management and a host of exterior changes, such as the front splitter spoiler, side skirts and a new rear lip spoiler – all made from carbon fiber. If things do get a little bit too tail-out, there are huge Brembo brakes to brings things back under control quickly.
The car will ship with 25th anniversary graphics and exterior badging, embroidered headrests, and each model will carry a plaque displaying its build number.
