Touted to offer supercar levels of performance, Hennessey has unleashed the Super Venom Mustang. Only 91 examples — to commemorate the Texas-based company’s 91st anniversary — will be made. Based on the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, the Super Venom Mustang employs a reworked version of Ford’s familiar Coyote motor. For the limited edition, the 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 has been equipped with a high-performance supercharger, a high-flow air induction system and Hennessey’s engine management system.

The result is peak power and torque outputs of 633 kW and 881 N.m, the latter of which available from 4 900 r/min. According to the US firm, these figures allow for a 0-96.5 km/h (0-60 mph) sprint time of only 3.2 seconds.

In addition to the engine upgrades, the Super Venom Mustang also adopts Hennessey’s VenomAero system, which comprises a variety of carbon-fibre aerodynamic elements. The latter includes a ‘Goose-neck’ rear wing and new front splitter.

As a reminder, compared to the standard US model’s 372 kW/567 N.m, the South African-spec Mustang Dark Horse is endowed with 334 kW and 540 N.m of torque for a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.4 seconds. The Dark Horse tops out at 267 km/h. In terms of local availability, no statement on whether right hand drive units will be created yet…

Said Nathan Malinick, Hennessey’s Director of Design:

“We worked hard to celebrate the esteemed Mustang bloodline with the design of our Super Venom. With a unique interior and track-focused enhancements outside we recognise the iconic muscle car’s sporting heritage alongside that of Hennessey Performance.”

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
