October 2011 marks the 20th anniversary of John Hennessey’s leap into “making fast cars go faster”. To celebrate, HPE is building a limited run of supercharged HPE650 Camaros that offer a blend of immense power, sure-footed handling and sleek styling.
The 20th Anniversary Edition HPE650 Camaro comes as a brand new 2012 2SS/RS in the customer’s choice of coupe or convertible and manual or automatic. Color, however, is limited to a black on black scheme, with a choice of either chrome or silver finished Hennessey monoblock wheels. The HPE650 develops over 650 horsepower via a TVS2300 supercharger feeding an upgraded valvetrain of freer-flowing cylinder heads and a more aggressive camshaft. This allows for 0-60 mph sprints in under 4 seconds and 1/4 mile times in under 12.
In addition to the massive power gains, each car will receive an adjustable coilover suspension system lowered by 1″ for increased handling without sacrificing ride quality. On the exterior, Hennessey’s exclusive CarbonAero front nose splitter and side sill rockers provide a clean aerodynamic enhancement to the Camaro’s sharp lines and stance. Other visual and material cues such as embroidered headrests, premium floor mats, carbon fiber door sill plates and limited edition numbered plaques also find their way on to each car.
Not surprisingly, the Hennessey 20th Anniversary Edition Camaro is limited to just 20 examples and continues the tradition of high-horsepower, low production Hennessey models.
This coming Sunday (March 20th) and again on Monday (March 21st), Car Crazy on SPEED will feature host Barry Meguiar interviewing John Hennessey during the SEMA 2010 episode.
