Hennessey has long made a name for itself beyond US borders as a small-series manufacturer with incredible horsepower like the Venom f5. But the Texans are not satisfied with their previous acceleration records and are now offering the Hennessey Challenger Demon 1700 with 1700 hp. You can’t get any more powerful cars.

Since the early 1990s, John Hennessey and his team have been doing everything they can to make fast cars sportier, meaner and sharper. It’s no surprise that some of Hennessey’s sports cars, trucks, and SUVs hold numerous speed and acceleration records. Despite the electric boom – or precisely because of the rapid spread of e-mobility – Hennessey’s order books are fuller than ever. Since 2022 alone, more than 1,100 vehicles have been delivered to performance-hungry petrolheads around the world.

Special Operations Division

Hennessey has now decided to establish the new “Hennessey Special Operations – HSO” department. Extremely special and powerful vehicles will be produced here for extremely demanding customers. “There are no more than 20 specific parts that potential customers need to reference,” explains company founder and CEO John Hennessey. “The demand for our high-performance vehicles in recent years has been so great that we have had to transform from a high-volume tuning company into a factory with all the logistics and assembly lines involved in the delivery of more than 500 vehicles per year.” , Hennessey looks back. The move to a manufacturer with a factory producing more and more vehicles also meant that the Texans had to direct some of their development and production resources to particularly powerful vehicles.

And so Hennessey is pleased that “with the new department we can now produce ultra-powerful vehicles in small series again.” Like the Hennessey Challenger Demon 1700.” It is the Texas luxury tuner’s latest and arguably most spectacular vehicle and is based on the Dodge Challenger Demon 170, which already has an impressive 1039 hp. Hennessy gave the newly painted blue 6.2-liter V8 two turbochargers; This means the monster unit now produces a breathtaking 1,700 hp. This power leaves even the most die-hard sports car fans speechless. With E85 ethanol in the tank, the US Coupé burns the quarter mile (402.34 meters) in 7.9 seconds – at speeds up to 280 km/h.

But if you’re interested in Texas’ horsepower monster, you’ll need to be fast and have a big bank account. HSO only wants to build a dozen Challenger Demon 1700 Twin-Turbos; the conversion price for each is $200,000, plus the purchase price for the donor vehicle Demon 170, whose engine was disassembled by Hennessey, welded and stored for the customer, is $97,000. the customer is protected.
