The Story

This beast is based on the formidable Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, which already packs a factory-tuned, hand-built 5.2L supercharged V-8 delivering 760 HP and 625 lb‑ft of torque—the most powerful production engine ever fitted to a Mustang. But Hennessey Performance wasn't satisfied with "just powerful." Its engineers created the Venom 1200 package fitting the GT500 with an upgraded 3.8L supercharger, high-flow air intake, enhanced fuel rails and injectors, performance intercooler, air/oil separator and strengthened drive components (belts, lines and tensioners).

Once complete, the Venom 1200 pumps out a staggering 1,204 HP at 7,600 RPM and 902 lb‑ft of torque at 5,200 RPM, a jaw-dropping 58% jump over the stock model Performance levels and catapulting the Venom 1200 past many supercars, especially when running on E85 fuel (on 93-octane pump gas, it still delivers around 900 HP). Hennessey also recalibrated the dual-clutch transmission and applied custom engine tuning, all verified through chassis dynamometer calibration and road testing.

Enhancing its exclusivity, just 66 examples were produced worldwide, each distinguished by unique exterior badging and a serialized plaque underscoring the rarity of this package. The car offered here is No. 25 of 66 and was originally ordered in Oxford White, equipped with both the Carbon Track Package and Technology Package from Cavenaugh Ford Lincoln in Jonesboro, Arkansas. After initial delivery, the car was driven just 300 miles before being sent to Hennessey Performance to receive the Venom 1200 upgrade. Today, it shows only 770 miles from new and remains in showroom condition, accompanied by its owner’s manuals, original window sticker and more.
