Hennessey has recently introduced their new HPE700 tuning program for the McLaren MP4-12C.
As you can see from the images, the exterior design of the MP4-12C has remained unchanged, except for the discrete Hennessey and HPE700 badging. The same logic carries over to the cabin, where only a small number of modifications have been applied, like the small serial-numbered dash plaque.
Bigger changes occur under the hood as the American tuner installed an optimized ECU, high-flow air filters, an upgraded intercooler and an angrier-sounding stainless-steel exhaust system. Thanks to these modifications, the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine develops 704 hp and 728 Nm of torque - an increase of 88 hp and 130 Nm. This allows the British supercar to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 2.8 seconds.
"The Hennessey McLaren HPE700 broadens our reach in performance tuning to European supercars. Both midrange power and torque are bumped, but the real hair-on-fire ride begins from 4,000 rpm to the 8,500-rpm redline," said John Hennessey, president of Hennessey Performance.
