2021 | Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Hennessey Venom 1000
Overview
For those who seek ridiculous power, absurd modifications, and all-out American muscle to the max, look no further than Hennessey Performance Engineering. The Texas-based firm started life in the early 1990s modifying Japanese imports for drag racing, and since then has become a global powerhouse, producing their own house-designed, world-record-breaking supercars in addition to modifying some of America's most iconic autos. From Ford Raptors to Cadillac Escalades, Hennessy has experience endowing a wide range of already high-performance vehicles with astronomical horsepower, taking them to limits set only by the internal combustion engine and the imagination. The Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 is no exception, and the one offered here stands as a testament to the brand's capabilities.
The Hennessey Venom 1000 is a comprehensive modification package that takes the extraordinarily capable GT500 and elevates it to a level even Shelby couldn't have envisioned. The proprietary HPE1000 supercharger system brings the car's 760 factory horsepower up to a staggering 1000 brake horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. Nearly every one of the car's engine systems has been upgraded to handle such a colossal level of power. High-flow air induction, anodized billet fuel rails, increased-flow fuel injectors, heavy-duty drive hardware, an upgraded intercooler, and much more make this power level possible. To top it off, Hennessey spends hours on the dyno and up to 500 miles of on-road testing for each car produced to ensure the highest level of performance.
The 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Hennessey Venom 1000 offered here is no exception; not only does it deliver 1000 horsepower, it is equipped with Ford's Carbon Fiber Track Package, further enhancing performance. This desirable option adds exposed carbon fiber wheels and a matching rear wing while deleting the rear seats, all of which reduce the vehicle's weight, translating to on-track gains. The car is finished in eye-catching Grabber Yellow and features both Shelby and Hennessey badging, adding to its recognizability. Comfort is no compromise with the leather and suede Recaro sport seats, suede-wrapped steering wheel, Ford digital infotainment system, B&O premium surround sound system, and boundless carbon fiber trim. This example has been both track-proven and well-maintained, offering the buyer the ideal track day machine or an exciting daily driver in equal measure. This GT500 Hennessey Venom 1000 is now offered in Texas with a clean Carfax report and a Montana title.
