Hennessey ZR700

The March 2010 issue of Corvette Magazine will feature the Torch Red Hennessey ZR700, quoting “The ZR700 idles and drives like a standard ZR1 at sane speeds, but when I finally got the chance to roll into the throttle hard, the Corvette really came alive.”

Hennessey has taken the already spectacular ZR1 and gave it an extra kick in the backside giving the LS9 power plant some extra thrust. We are talking 705hp and 717 lb-ft torque, and that’s just the beginning. Hennessey is also making available a ZR750 package with, yep you guessed it 750hp! Continue reading

Looking for a Corvette? C6 just not doing it for you? Z06? Well the ZR1 surely will be enough to keep u smiling on a race track? No? Hennessey didn’t think so either! If you had the option to get a 911, a 911 GT3, or a 911GT3RS what would you pick?

Hennessey knows there is a market out there for taking a high performance Super Car and making it that much better for the track, so they give you the Z700. Power is jumped from 638 to 705hp and from 604lb-ft to 717 lb-ft torque. This isn’t just a horsepower monster Hennessey has also put the fat American car on a diet by adding more carbon fiber. They threw in some carbon fiber seats, carbon fiber wheels, and a new carbon fiber front splitter enhancing down force. There will be only 24 examples produced of this limited edition Corvette ready to drive home for only $207,150 Dollars. With numbers like 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and to 100mph in just 6.4 seconds it’s defiantly has the numbers to back the price.

Be sure you’ll see one of these on a track near you in Texas.
