The fastest and most powerful limited-edition street car in the world. Only 24 will be built.
I think that a lot of us are asking now who’s behind the monster with almost double output. There’s only one possible answer – the American performance company Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) based in Houston, Texas. It was founded few years ago by John Hennessey, a president of this company. Their Works are focused on mostly exotic beauties as Dodge, Chrysler, Porsche, Chevrolet, Bentley, Bugatti etc. And the word „modification“ means “the power“. They’re main goal is to gain the most possible output from the car without some expressive styling features.
This is a real performance tuning.
EXTERI0R
Maybe some of you will be disappointed, but there are no distinctive changes on the exterior. Yes, some changes were made, but nothing big. The bodykit is called VenomAero and includes some plastics of the facelift.
And the front part includes the modified elongated and skewed front bumper to improve air flow and aerodynamics. It’s not very visible change at first sight, but it’s effective. The lower part was lifted to create a small, but functionally diffuser to regulate air flow under the car.
Also the already massive side of the car was enhanced with extended side sills and side diffusers, openings for hot air off take from the front brakes. Very functional and pretty solution.
The rear part passed only one change, but the change is extraordinary. It’s a sporting wing VenomAero Daytona that isn’t small?. It’s the perfect sporting spoiler that matches the car and i think it can’t be better. Also this makes that required double sporting character.
