    Ford Mustang Dark Horse gets more darker with Hennessey performance upgrades

    Hennessey, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator, has revealed its new Super Venom Mustang featuring a wide range of performance, aerodynamic, and styling enhancements that create the ultimate Hennessey Mustang.

    Performance upgrades

    Performance enhancements see Hennessey add a high-flow air induction system, high-performance supercharger, upgraded fuel injectors and fuel pump, plus Hennessey’s engine management system to boost the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine’s power to 850 bhp (664 kW). The in-house designed and developed, fully carbon fiber ‘VenomAero’ kit consists of a more aggressive front splitter, a functional front hood vent, side skirts, functional front fender louvers, a rear deck lid with an integrated duck bill, and a tall, fixed, rear track wing.

    Ford’s stock Dark Horse has 334 kW and can hit 60 mph from stationary in 3.7 seconds, in 10-speed auto form. Hennessey’s uprated Super Venom Mustang achieves the same speed in just 3.2 seconds. The standard Dark Horse covers the ¼ mile in 12 seconds at 118.4 mph. Hennessey betters this benchmark too, with the auto Super Venom Mustang covering the same distance in 10.9 seconds at 133 mph.

    Unique exterior and interior styling

    Customers can opt for three bespoke liveries – available in black, silver, and red – to pair with the factory paint color. The Super Venom’s ’91 Icon Livery – a nod to the founding year of Hennessey Performance – adds visual distinctiveness, enhanced further by 20-inch lightweight performance wheels, Hennessey and Super Venom’s badging, plus the Hennessey signature logo ghosted into the rear wing.

    Hennessey’s in-house design team also transformed the interior, with bespoke Hennessey leather and Alcantara seats available in blue or black custom styles. Compatible with the comfort or Recaro sports seats, the unique Hennessey designs also feature an embossed Hennessey signature logo. Elsewhere, the team retrim the center console and the dash includes a tailor-made plaque detailing each Super Venom Mustang’s individual serial number.
