Hennessey's boss, John Hennessey, is clearly pumped about this new creation. He's been gushing about how the Ford Mustang Dark Horse is already a thrill ride, but Hennessey has taken it to a whole new level. He’s talking about the kind of raw, visceral driving experience that makes your hair stand on end. You know, the kind where you can practically smell the rubber burning and feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins.
Last summer, Hennessey unveiled their H850 program tailored for the Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Now, the company has announced that this high-performance pony car has officially entered production and shared some impressive performance statistics.
Underneath its hood, the Mustang Dark Horse boasts a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine that has been significantly enhanced. The upgrades include a new fuel pump, improved fuel injectors, and a powerful supercharger. Additionally, it features a high-flow air induction system and a meticulously tuned high-performance engine. These enhancements boost the engine’s output from an original 500 horsepower and 566 Nm of torque to a staggering 850 horsepower and 880 Nm of torque. This translates to an impressive increase of 350 horsepower and 314 Nm of torque.
These substantial upgrades are not just numbers on paper; they manifest in remarkable real-world performance. Hennessey-tuned Mustangs equipped with a ten-speed automatic transmission can sprint from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in 10.9 seconds, reaching speeds of 214 km/h. In comparison, the stock Mustang Dark Horse takes 3.7 seconds to reach 96 km/h and covers the quarter-mile in 12 seconds at 190.5 km/h.
While Hennessey has not disclosed the pricing details for the H850, they emphasize that it offers exceptional value, delivering supercar-like performance and the exhilarating roar of a supercharged V8 engine. The model is also distinguished by embroidered headrests, H850 badging, and a limited warranty covering three years or 36,000 miles. Furthermore, enthusiasts have the option to choose a manual transmission for an even more engaging driving experience.
In essence, Hennessey’s H850 program for the Ford Mustang Dark Horse takes an already impressive vehicle and transforms it into a powerhouse of performance and excitement. With these enhancements, the Mustang Dark Horse is poised to offer an unparalleled driving experience, cementing its status as a true icon among American muscle cars.
