Hennessey Performance has published a video showing the powerful 2015 Cadillac Escalade fitted with HPE550 power package doing several dyno runs. It is interesting that the tuned version is only RWD (rear-wheel drive), which is very strange for such enormous vehicle.
The SUV is 5,179 mm long, 2,045 mm wide, 1,89

Remember last week's Corvette C7? Well, here is another Hennessey brainchild. An HPE500 upgrade once again but this time on a Lexus LX 570 SUV. Better hide the kids because this one's a bit of a brute.
Let's cut to the chase: 500 hp and 530 lb-ft of torque. How have they done that? With a big TVS supercharger of cou

Hennessey do not fool around when it comes to sheer engine power. Take the 2014 Corvette C7 for example. With an added punch from the company's HPE kits, these Stingrays vary in power to up to 1000 hp. A total number of 500 units is planned
This one here has an HPE500 kit which means it is as true to the original as it can be. Still, Hennessey's work is evident when we look at the stainless steel long-tube exhaust manifolds, and the stainless steel midpipes, the installed high flow catalytic converters, and the

Here's a video of a Hennessey C7 Corvette going pretty briskly in a straight line. In fact, Hennessey say that this is the first ever 2014 Corvette Stingray to break the 200 mph mark. How much did it achieve? 200.6 mph.
It is an impressive achievement on its own, but if we compare it to the recent GEMBALLA run, it all becomes quite awkward. The 700 hp Panamera-based GTP did crack the 211 mph threshold without being on a diet or anything (a bit over two tonnes as you would find it on the street). The not-weighing
