ZR1 or Camaro… How About Both?
Written by Corey Mullane Wednesday, 17 June 2009
That’s right. The guys over at Hennessey are at it again with an idea that will make any gear head drool with envy. They decided that the 426 hp LS3 that comes in the Camaro SS just wasn’t good enough and that perhaps a little more persuasion via a 705 hp LS9 would help the tires put down a better patch of rubber. We couldn’t agree more and the rest of the package they’ve put around the new ZR1-sourced motor makes this the hottest Camaro we’ve seen by far.
The ZR1 treatment is in full effect on the Hennessey HPE700 featuring everything from lightweight ZR1-style HRE wheels, ginormous 15 inch carbon brakes with 6 piston calipers taken directly from the ZR1 and topped off, literally, with a see-through hood so that passersby can admire an engine that only 24 humans in the world can say that they have in their Camaro. You read correctly, only 24 examples will be built by Hennessey and with 11 already ordered you better hurry quick to make sure you don’t get left out of the fun. Us? Well, if our Powerball numbers hit, we know exactly where we’re going with our first chunk of the winnings.
Check out the full release from Hennessey here and take a look at the first images from Hennessey actually fitting this monster engine into a Camaro below.
