The 2018 Ford Mustang GT has already proven its might, but the fact that the mid-cycle revamp has made the pony more capable doesn't mean that the aftermarket will leave the machine in stock condition. And the freshest example of that comes from the 2019 Hennessey Heritage Edition Mustang.
To celebrate its 10,000th build, the Texan developer used the 2018 Ford GT Heritage Edition as an inspiration for modding a 'Stang.
Dressed in Race Red, a factory color, and packing special decals, this Blue Oval machine stands out from a distance. Nevertheless, we can use the sleeper label here, since the restrained visual mods of the vehicle don't give away the tremendous muscle of the thing.
Thanks to a serious gym visit, the machine's 5.0-liter V8 now packs 808 hp (Dodge Demon pun intended) and a peak torque of 677 lb-ft. And the Lone Star State specialist has now come up with a video that showcases the dyno might of the toy.
To deliver all that muscle, the Coyote motor has been fitted with a three-liter supercharger, an air-to-water intercooler, a high-flow air induction, while also featuring upgraded injectors and a beefed-up fuel pump.
As for the aero package of the vehicle, this includes the front splitter, side skirts and rear spoiler (the latter packs a Gurney flap).
Other mods include a lowered suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Supersport rubber, as well as a meatier braking system. And while the stopping hardware is optional, it's obviously best to go for the full package.
“We love the design and livery of the 2018 Ford GT Heritage Edition supercar that we took delivery of earlier this year. We thought that this look on our specially tuned Hennessey Mustang would also be very appropriate and a great way to celebrate our 10,000th build,” John Hennessey said.
“This is one of the most beautiful Mustang we’ve ever built, and it has the power and performance to match its gorgeous looks,”
