Hennessey Performance releases 800HP kit for McLaren MP4-12C

McLaren No Comments »

Car fans everywhere eagerly await the unveiling of the McLaren P12 which will take the lead from the current flagship. This speed monster is rumored to sport a McLaren V8 with 3.8L displacement and a monstrous 800 horsepower.

Those who can afford supercars is not really a very patient group of people and we should not be surprise if they want the powerful engine for their car setup.

For these kind of buyers, tuning firm Hennessey Performance offers a McLaren kit from their garage which boasts of 800 horsepower. The package is called as Twin Turbo HPE800 kit and was outfitted to the SRT8 Grand Cherokee on the MP4-12C.

The top exec John Hennessey of Hennessey Performance relates that he was able to enjoy some time close to the new McLaren 12C during the Goodwill Festival of Speed and that he was really impressed with it. Hennessey is excited to give the setup their touch of special performance plus upgrading the appearance of the 12C to make it even more aggressive.

Aside from the additional 200hp, Hennessey also throws in a body kit made from carbon fiber to enhance its aerodynamics, Super Sport Michelin tiles, Monoblock rims, and a dose of Alcantara, leather, and carbon fiber for the interior.

Hennessey did not touch the brakes and suspension as the tuning firm finds them already sufficient.

No price tag has been announced yet but if you will base it on the Jeep with the HPE800 setup at $235,000 while the stock 12C is at $229,000, you will have an idea how much hole the purchase will make on your bank account.
