Hennessey Performance chose the current Ford Mustang GT for a limited project created around one company milestone. Super Venom marks 35 years since John Hennessey founded the business in 1991, and the number appears directly on the hood through a “91” graphic placed as part of the exterior treatment.
Production stays tightly restricted. Hennessey plans only 35 units, following the anniversary theme rather closely. The donor car does not start from Ford’s most extreme factory Mustang. Instead, the tuner begins with the regular Mustang GT, where factory output stands at 500 horsepower.
From there, the V8 receives major changes. Final output reaches 850 horsepower and torque rises to 650 pound-feet. In source terms, the increase equals 70% more horsepower and 55% more torque than the original car. Hennessey ties the package to a supercharged V8 layout and positions the result above several factory Mustang figures now sold by Ford.
One comparison appears immediately in the source. The stock Mustang GTD leaves production with 815 horsepower, listed beside 826 metric horsepower. Torque reaches 664 pound-feet, also shown as 900 Newton meters. Ford pairs those numbers with 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, written together with 0 to 97 kph. Quarter-mile performance falls in the mid-10-second range, while top speed reaches 202 mph, equal to 325 kph.
The GTD also carries a Nürburgring record noted in the source. Ford recorded 6 minutes and 57.685 seconds around the Green Hell, making the GTD the first American production car under seven minutes there.
Super Venom follows another route. Hennessey did not use the GTD platform, even though output climbs beyond its factory horsepower figure. Exterior work includes a carbon fiber package developed for cooling and handling. New parts include a front splitter, rear deck lid, lip spoiler, side skirts, and functional fender louvers.
Inside, the changes stay visible but restrained. Leather and Alcantara cover the interior, while Hennessey logos appear on the seats.
The anniversary model also sits inside a wider company timeline. Over 18,000 vehicles have already gone through Hennessey for re-engineering work. One internal benchmark still stands far above this Mustang, the Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution. That machine uses a 6.6-liter twin-turbo “Fury” V8 and reaches 2,031 horsepower.
Hennessey does not publish a price for Super Venom. The source only notes that another future hypercar already sits in the company’s plans, according to John Hennessey.
