Hennessey has prepped an extreme Chevrolet Camaro
for the 2019 SEMA Show. The General Motors muscle car started life as the Chevy
Camaro ZL1 1LE but dropped the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in favor of the LT5
powering the Corvette ZR1.
The new power unit already enjoyed an impressive 755
horsepower when it arrived at the Texan tuner. Nonetheless, with a lot of
upgrades, including an engine management calibration, as well as reinforced
transmissions, the output has raised to a stunning 1,200 horses at 6,800 rpm
and 1,356 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm, with E85 in the fuel
tank.
The specs released by Hennessey are absolutely
mental, as the Camaro Resurrection can mix it with hypercars – in a
straight-line acceleration, anyway. The 0-96 km/h takes only 2.3
seconds and flat-out, it will do well over 354 km/h. On a good day
and with a skilled driver holding the wheel, it will run the quarter mile in
9.3 seconds at 241 km/h, as per tuner’s estimate.
Production of the wild Camaro will be limited to 24
examples and each one will set you back an eye-watering US$ 200,000, including the
cost of a brand new Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE. Those with enough money in the bank
who want to humiliate the new Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 at the drag strip can
order one straight from Chevy dealers or from Hennessey directly. All cars are
offered with HPE’s 1-year/12,000-mile (19,312-km) warranty and the visual
updates that include the exterior graphics and custom carbon fiber hood.
