2016 Hennessey Camaro SS
Thought this nitrous-equipped 2016
Chevrolet Camaro SS was fast? Hennessey Performance certainly doesn't,
following the announcement of its full range of upgrade kits for the new model.
Typically, the 6.2-liter V8 of the
Camaro SS pumps out 455 hp but with some relatively minor modifications,
Hennessey can lift that figure to either 500, 600 or 650 hp. From there, a
number of supercharged options are available with 700, 750, 800 and 1,000 hp on
offer.
The range-topping 1,000 hp model
provides an alternative to Hennessey's 1,032 hp SRT Hellcat but rather than
using a supercharger and two turbos, the 1,000 hp Camaro relies solely on a
massive blower.
To achieve peak horsepower at 6,800 rpm
and 887 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm, Hennessey has also stroked the motor to
6.8-liters, added a 4.0-inch crankshaft, custom forged pistons, billet steel
connecting rods, bespoke torque plates, ported cylinder heads, heavy duty dual
valve springs and a range of other upgrades including a custom exhaust and a
new ECU.
Pricing details haven't been released
but all the changes are backed by a 1 year / 12,000 mile warranty.
