Top 10 Hennessey Performance Upgrades you may not Know About

Hennessey is a well known all-American car tuner who have undertaken the job of jamming as much horsepower into any given vehicle as possible, with their most popular and recognized cars being the Hennessey Venom GT, and all of Hennessey’s mustangs. This is all fine and dandy, but who knows about the other, more obscure upgrade packages offered by Hennessey? The Hennessey performance packages work like this: you have choices between a crazy number of horsepower to a mentally insane number of horsepower. Intrigued? Let’s go!

#1 Ford Raptor

Now the Hennessey Ford Raptor, also known as the Velociraptor, has been brought to light by the Forza game seres, but it is still worth a mention. The Raptor has upgrades ranging from 600 - 800 HP, which could lead to some serious off-roading. Luckily, you are all set to do so right out of the box with available tow-winch, suspension upgrade, light bar, a number of different off-road dedicated body panels, and a whole host of other stuff to float your massive Velociraptor boat.

#2. Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcat

Ever thought that the Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcat needed more power? Of course you did! So thanks to Hennessey for adding power to a max of 750 - 1000 HP. That’s right, 1000 HP! A little excessive? No, it’s just perfect for Hennessey!

#3. Cadillac Escalade

Now this is a good one: the Cadillac Escalade, a SUV perfect for the wannabe rapper (Along with the Chrysler 300C) and now you can be serious about your rapping skills with some serious power. The Hennessey Escalade has upgrades ranging from 550 - 800 HP. Here’s a video of a 557 HP version tuned with a HPE550 Supercharged upgrade.

#4. Cadillac CTS-V

Now this may sound silly, but I promise this is different from the previous Caddie. First of all, this is from 650 - 1000 HP instead of a mere 800. The main difference is that it is available in sedan, coupe, and sport wagon form! That’s right, sport wagon! Take the kids to school and leave doing a burnout. Not a problem, the perfect wagon.

#5. Dodge Viper

The Dodge Viper is a track beast on it’s own, but any car could do with more horsepower, right? Well how about a range of 700 - 1200 HP? Enough for you? Ok, I won’t ask any more questions, but this is one crazy beast. 0-60 in less than 2.7 seconds. Wow.

#6. 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS

This won’t seem like much of a biggie at first, but once I tell you the speed this ridiculous machine reached with only 751 HP. This Camaro SS can snag 202 MPH with a stock chassis, which really shows the objective of Hennessey. Speed.

#7. Jaguar F-Type

Now this one surprised me, as it seems like the motive of Hennessey is to take american muscle cars and make them for speed and power, yet for some reason they took a very British sports car and worked their magic. The F-Type is pumped with a reasonable 616 HP, compared to it’s older siblings.

#8. GMC Yukon Denali

If you want to be the most respected Uber out there, this is the car for you. This Denali is the SUV for the who can get into a Police pursuit and not even bat an eye. And with 650 HP, you could easily out run them too.

#9. Chevrolet Silverado

This Chevy is the Hennessey Raptor for someone who hates Ford. throwing down 650 HP, it’s not just the runner up either. I don’t know what it would be used for, but for something good I suppose!

10. 2017 Ford GT

Not much info about the subsequent project Hennessey has in store, but we do know it involves the new Ford GT which will receive high flow air induction systems, engine management tuning upgrades, high-flow intercooler systems, exhaust system upgrades, twin turbo system upgrades, engine upgrades and more. Keep your eyes out for more info on this super limited edition beast!

You may wonder why some words are bolded, that is from the fact that those are vocabulary words from my English class, which means that I will post a blog post every week for a long while, so stay tuned!
