Hennessey elevates the Ford F-150 to unparalleled heights.
The automotive world is reminded again that everything is bigger in Texas as Hennessey, the hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle tuner, unveiled its revamped Venom 775, a beastly Ford F-150 upgrade that raises the bar in the luxury performance truck segment. The Venom 775 is a masterclass in engineering finesse and unbridled power, as well as exclusivity with Hennessey promising limited production of just 250 units each year. Plus, they’re throwing in a 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty for good measure.
Let’s dive straight into the jaw-dropping numbers. The heart of the Venom 775 is a supercharged and intercooled 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine, pushing out an eye-watering 775 horsepower. If you’re keeping score, that’s a staggering 94 percent bump over the stock Ford F-150’s 400 horsepower, and a number that soars above performance truck peers like the stock Ford Raptor R and Ram TRX. But Hennessey didn’t stop there. Through their Engine Management Calibration and other tweaks like upgraded fuel injectors and a high-flow air induction system, the torque also gets a major boost, landing at 727 lb-ft—a 77 percent increase over the original. Put the pedal to the metal, and this beast is no slouch, with a 0-60 mph sprint time of just 3.6 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 11.9 seconds.
The Venom 775 isn’t just about power; it’s also engineered for unparalleled on-road and off-road versatility. To make sure it stands its ground anywhere you take it, Hennessey includes a Fox lift kit, 20-inch alloy wheels, and 35-inch off-road tires. And for those worried about handling all this power, worry not—the suspension system has been refined, and multi-piston Brembo brakes with red calipers are installed to ensure you stop as well as you go. The front and rear bumpers aren’t just for show; they’re designed for performance, adorned with ‘Hennessey Venom’ branding and LED illumination.
Yet, despite the souped-up specs, Hennessey has gone to great lengths to ensure that the Venom 775 retains its factory drive modes. This means you can switch between modes like Normal, Slippery, Deep Snow/Sand, Mud/Ruts, and more, giving you the best of both worlds—a truck that’s both an off-road marvel and a high-performance machine.
To top it off, the Venom 775 comes with a luxury interior that bears embroidered ‘Hennessey’ head restraints and exclusive Venom 775 badging. “It’s compatible with premium trim levels, so there’s no conceding luxury,” says John Hennessey, company founder and CEO. The message is clear: with the Venom 775, you don’t have to compromise.
To say that the Hennessey Venom 775 is a game-changer would be an understatement. It’s a new benchmark in the high-performance truck segment, combining off-road prowess with supercar speed. So, if you’re in the market for a truck that redefines limits, get ready to be stung by the Venom 775. But act fast; with only 250 units in production, this venomous wonder won’t stick around for long.
