# Powerful Muscle Car Alterations Hennessey Performance Doubled the Horsepower of the New Mustang By Daniel Johnson | Published 2019-09-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hennessey-performance References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/9/hennessey-ford-2020-mustang-shelby-gt500-info) & [hennesseyperformance](http://hennesseyperformance.com/) Hennessy Performance has created a 2020 [Ford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mustang-shelby-gt500-heritage) Mustang Shelby GT500 that is capable of producing 1,200 horsepower. This is almost double the car's original horsepower, which is 760. Off of the line, the 2020 GT500 was already the most powerful Mustang ever produced. However, the Venmoom package from Hennessy Performance drastically increases the car's output. In order to make such a powerful edition of the car, Hennessy had to order several aspects of the car, including its intercooler, inductions system, positions, and connecting rods, as well as the fuel allocation system. Owners of the car will also have to use 109-race gasoline, as opposed to conventional fuel. The company has not yet released a price for its [Venom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venom-f5-roadster) package.
