The result we obtain is a V8 engine that reaches 1,221 horsepower and 1,223 Nm of maximum torque.
That awful! A Mustang GT500 with 1,200 CV… Who dares with this? As you know, the last Mustang Shelby GT500 that the American brand unveiled was more than three years ago, a car that became the most powerful in the model’s history in its own right. Although of course, mounting a powerful 5.2-liter Ford Performance V8 engine supercharged by an Eaton volumetric compressor for 771 hp and 847 Nm of torque, may not be enough.
For this reason, Hennessey Performance launches the so-called Venom 1200 version. With it, the preparation company is in charge of extracting what is a priori impossible from this block. According to estimates they have been able to extract more than half of the power to increase the energy of this block. This makes it one of the most powerful muscle cars the Texas-based company has ever created.
The 5.2 V8 engine includes a larger volumetric compressor, now it is 3.8 liters. It is accompanied by a high flow induction system, new fuel lines and injectors and a belt and tensioner kit among other items. It also mounts an automatic dual-clutch gearbox modified to digest all the brute force of the engine, which, as you can read, has reached crazy numbers.
The result we obtain is a V8 engine that reaches 1,221 horsepower and 1,223 Nm of maximum torque. If we take a look at the previous GT500-based preparation, we realize that this model was at 1,014 CV. Of course, all this power will accompany you as long as you use competition fuel or E85 bioethanol.
