Sealy, TX - Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) is set to debut the company's limited edition, Corvette ZR1-inspired, 2010 HPE700 LS9 Camaro on Tuesday, November 3 at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Powered by Hennessey's tweaked LS9 engine, the supercharged HPE700 Camaro cranks out 725 bhp and a twisting 741 pound-feet of torque. 0-to-60 mph is achieved in a scant 3.5 seconds, with traction-limited quarter-mile times in the mid-to-low 11's. The HPE700 LS9 Camaro will be on display in the Mobil 1 booth (#24466).
An all-around performer, the HPE700 LS9 Camaro is able to "whoa" just as well as it can go, with massive 15-inch Brembo brakes clamping down through 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston calipers in the rear. Ride quality and handling are also vastly improved with the addition of a KW Variant 3 coilover suspension and upgraded sway bars. Combined with Hennessey's own lightweight 3-piece 20-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, the HPE700 Camaro is capable of generating over 1.01 g on a 200 ft. skidpad. Rounding out the package is the ZR1-inspired CarbonAero(tm) carbon fiber body upgrade consisting of a front splitter, side skirts and rear bumper with diffuser.
Production of the HPE700 is extremely limited with just 24 examples are slated for the 2010 model year. "This may become one of the most notable vehicles our company has ever built", says company founder and president, John Hennessey. "Time will tell, but I would venture to say the 2010 HPE700 LS9 Camaro may go down in history as one of the most significant modern muscle cars ever created".
Cost for the HPE700 LS9 Camaro - including the donor car itself - is $119,500. This also includes one day of driving instruction at Hennessey's Lonestar Motorsports Park race track facility at no extra charge.
