Leave it to Texas tuners Hennessey to come up with the maddest power figures. The latest which is to be boosted is the limited Ford Mustang Shelby GT350. To recap, underneath the hood of the Shelby GT350 sits a 5.2 litre Voodoo flat-plane crankshaft V8 with 526 hp and 582 Nm of torque – an evolution of the 435 hp/542 Nm Coyote 5.0 litre V8 mill in the Mustang GT.
The video starts off with a dyno test of a stock Shelby GT350. The result? A total of 482 hp and 551 Nm – not quite what was expected. That said, this isn’t the final output that Hennessy is looking to close with of course – it plans to introduce a potent supercharged package called the HPE800 for the Shelby GT350.
A few of the items listed in the HPE800 upgrade pack include a 2.9 litre supercharger system, 11.0:1 compression forged aluminium pistons with steel wrist pins, forged steel connecting rods, a carbon-fibre high-flow air induction system, carbon-fibre coilpack covers, upgraded fuel injectors and a fuel pump system, among the few. It also gets a dedicated HPE engine management calibration.
The combination of upgrades will allow for the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350/GT350R to produce a whopping 808 hp at 7,800 rpm and 891 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm. The Shelby with the said upgrade will dash from 0-100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile run over in 10.8 seconds.
Apart from that, other items that come with the package include Hennessey, HPE800 and Supercharged exterior badgings and a serial number that can be found on the dash and an engine plaque. Inside, Hennessey premium floormats and embroidered headrests are part of it as well.
The company says that only 50 units of the HPE800 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350/GT350R (2016 model year) will be made and it comes with a three-year warranty/57,000 km limited warranty. In addition to that, Hennessey requires a total time frame of three to four months to build the HPE800 limited edition units.
