Hennessey Venom GT to debut at 2010 Geneva Motor Show

It's been two years since John Hennessey announced that he was going to be building his own supercar, but the plans are still a go as it has been announced that the car will make it's debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

Some specs have changed. Curb weight is down from 2700 to 2400 pounds. The proposed engine is now a "Hennessey V8" instead of a Viper V10. Power is up to 1200hp rather than the inital 1000hp, and top speed is said to be 274mph. Soon we will know if that car can pull off these lofty goals.

Hennessey rings out a 705hp Corvette ZR1

Recently retired John Heinricy got a shot to wring out Henessey's new powertrain, a 705 hp LS9 V8 that lives in a new ZR1 Corvette at the MSR Houston. The result is a pretty nice video, but the real news is that this is the exact powertrain that will occupy the engine bay of a certain Hennessey HPE700 Camaro, a car that was revealed back in January.

Hennessey ready to ramp up 2010 Ford Taurus SHO

With the 2010 Taurus SHO just revealed at the Chicago Auto Show, we already have proof that one major tuner is going to be developing some go fast parts for the car. A quick look at this page of Hennessey Performance Engineering's website confirms the company is going to provide an aftermarket for the rebirth of the SHO.

John Hennessey is a former owner of a first generation SHO, and he himself is impressed with the specs of the soon to be released car and is hoping that there will be a strong market for parts. At the onset, expect intake and exhaust mods, followed by a boost controller, turbo and intercooler upgrades and possibly some suspension tweaks.
