2016 Hennessey New Camaro SS
The Texan tuner did it again, making the
new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS to blow past the 320 km/h barrier thanks
to their upgrade package.
The now-751 hp Camaro SS reached a top
speed of 325.2 km/h with professional driver Brian Smith on the
wheel, at the Continental Tire Proving Grounds in Texas.
Increasing the power from the factory
455 hp to over 750 hp required the company’s HPE600 naturally-aspirated engine
upgrade which includes CNC ported cylinder heads, camshaft and valvetrain
upgrades, new headers and catalytic converters and a high-flow intake manifold
among others.
The net result is 605 hp at 6500 rpm and
in order to get the power up to 751 hp, Hennessey added a 146 hp nitrous-oxide
kit.
