      Hennessey has launched a new Mustang called the Super Venom.

      This vehicle is equipped with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 delivering 850 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.

      Additionally, it features a carbon fiber body kit and enhanced interior options.

      The Mustang tuning competition is intensifying with Hennessey's unveiling of the Super Venom, which follows closely after the Shelby GT350 and offers even more power.

      Under the hood, Ford’s 5.0-liter Coyote V8 has been enhanced with upgraded fuel injectors, a new engine management system, and a high-performance supercharger. Hennessey also adds a high-flow air induction system and a new fuel pump.

      As a result of these modifications, the output increases to 850 hp (634 kW / 862 PS) and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque. This allows the Super Venom to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.2 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds at 133 mph (214 km/h). These figures reflect improvements of 0.5 seconds, 1.1 seconds, and 14.6 mph (23.5 km/h) compared to a standard Dark Horse with an automatic transmission.

      While we have seen similar performance enhancements from Hennessey, this model stands out for incorporating a VenomAero carbon fiber kit. This kit features a front splitter, a hood vent, and operational front fender louvers. In addition, it includes sporty side skirts, a new rear deck lid with an integrated spoiler, and a fixed rear wing. The company claims these modifications enhance handling and grip during spirited driving on both roads and tracks.

      Other notable features are carbon fiber mirror caps and lightweight 20-inch wheels. The model also showcases Hennessey branding and offers three livery packages available in black, silver, and red.

      Interior modifications are more subtle, with the Super Venom offering leather and Alcantara seats with embossed backrests, alongside floor mats and an individually numbered dash plaque.

      The Super Venom can be based on either the Mustang GT or Mustang Dark Horse, allowing customers to select between a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic transmission. Production will be limited to 91 units, with prices starting at $149,950 for the GT and $163,950 for the Dark Horse, including the base Mustang.
