Hennessey Building Demon 1700 Sub 8 Second Drag Strip Beast
Limited to 12 units, the 1,700-horsepower twin-turbo Hennessey Demon 1700 will cost a cool $200K on top of the donor car.
Hennessey Special Operations
Hennessey Performance, renowned for enhancing high-performance vehicles, introduces a new chapter with the formation of Hennessey Special Operations (HSO). This bespoke in-house department is dedicated to crafting ultra-exclusive, ultra-high-horsepower vehicles, producing only 15 to 20 units annually for the most discerning customers.
Limited Production
With an increasing demand for Hennessey vehicles, the company shifts from a high-volume tuning company to a manufacturer with assembly lines. Founder & CEO John Hennessey explains the need to allocate resources to meet the demand, leading to the creation of HSO. This shift allows for the production of mega-powerful vehicles in small, exclusive runs.
Unique Engine
The Demon 1700 Twin-Turbo aims for an impressive quarter-mile time of 7.9 seconds at 175 mph, outpacing the stock Demon 170 by a full second. Hennessey's decision to equip the muscle car with a brand-new, specially crafted engine demonstrates a commitment to pushing boundaries and achieving unmatched performance.
Price of Exclusivity
Production of the Demon 1700 Twin-Turbo is capped at a mere 12 units, reflecting its exclusivity. Priced at approximately $200,000 for the upgrades alone, excluding the cost of the car, this hyper-powered creation targets a niche market of enthusiasts seeking unparalleled muscle car performance.
Preservation of Original Drivetrain
In a nod to the rarity of the Demon 170, HSO takes a unique approach by preserving the original drivetrain. Owners can revert their vehicles back to stock by storing the removed components in a crate, ensuring the option to experience the car's original configuration.
Documenting the Journey
Hennessey pledges to document the building process of the Demon 1700 over the next several months, with the first example being John Hennessey's personal car. With only 12 units planned for production, interested buyers are urged to inquire early to secure one of the world's most potent and exclusive muscle cars.
