Hennessey, the Texas-based powerhouse of high-performance vehicles, has unveiled its latest creation: the SUPER VENOM® Mustang. This beast of a machine boasts a staggering 850 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, celebrating the company’s founding year of 1991. With a limited production run of 91 units, this Mustang is set to become a collector’s dream.
Power Surge: From 500 to 850 Horsepower The SUPER VENOM® Mustang receives a 70 percent power increase over the stock 5.0L V8 engine, thanks to a high-flow air induction system, high-performance supercharger, upgraded fuel injectors and fuel pump, and Hennessey’s engine management system. This transforms the standard 500 bhp into a monstrous 850 bhp, with a 55 percent increase in torque.
VenomAero: Aerodynamic Excellence The Mustang also features the all-new bespoke ‘VenomAero’ carbon fiber performance kit. This kit includes an aggressive front splitter, functional front hood vent, side skirts, functional front fender louvers, a rear deck lid with an integrated duck bill, and a tall, fixed, rear track wing. These enhancements not only improve the car’s aesthetics but also boost handling and cooling, ensuring peak performance on both road and track.
A Tribute to 1991: Limited Edition and Unique Livery John Hennessey, company Founder and CEO, emphasizes the significance of the “Venom” branding, reserved for their most potent creations. The SUPER VENOM® Mustang, available through authorized Ford dealers, comes with a full warranty. To commemorate their founding year, only 91 units will be produced, featuring a unique ’91 Icon’ livery.
Performance Gains: Faster and More Powerful The standard Ford Dark Horse achieves 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and covers the ¼ mile in 12 seconds at 118.4 mph. Hennessey’s SUPER VENOM® Mustang shaves those times down to 3.2 seconds for 0-60 mph and 10.9 seconds at 133 mph for the ¼ mile. These improvements are due to the comprehensive performance upgrades and aerodynamic enhancements.
Interior and Exterior: Bespoke Design Customers can choose from three bespoke liveries – black, silver, and red – to complement the factory paint color. The ’91 Icon Livery, 20-inch lightweight performance wheels, Hennessey and SUPER VENOM badging, and a ghosted Hennessey signature logo on the rear wing add to the car’s distinctiveness. The interior is equally impressive, with bespoke Hennessey leather and Alcantara seats in blue or black, an embossed Hennessey signature logo, a retrimmed center console, and a tailor-made dash plaque with a serial number.
Availability and Pricing: Direct from Ford Dealers The SUPER VENOM Mustang is available on both the GT coupe and Dark Horse platform, with options for a 10-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. The SUPER VENOM Dark Horse is priced at $163,950, while the SUPER VENOM GT starts at $149,950, inclusive of the stock vehicle. Both builds benefit from the Ford factory warranty and Hennessey’s 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty. Orders can be placed through authorized Ford retailers or directly with Hennessey.
