The Hennessy Super Venom Is a Limited-Edition Ford Mustang With 850 Horses Under the Hood
Hennessey Performance continues to push the seventh-generation Ford Mustang to new heights.
The Texas-based tuner unveiled its latest take on the long-running muscle car, the Super Venom. The build is based on the current GT and Dark Horse variants and boosts output to a ridiculous degree to turn the vehicle into a race-ready burnout machine.

As with all Hennessey builds the only place to start with the Super Venom Mustang is under the hood. The shop has taken the fourth-generation Coyote 5.0-liter V-8 found in both variants and added a high-performance supercharger, high-flow air induction system, upgraded fuel injectors and fuel pump, and a new engine management system. Those changes combine to bump output up to a ridiculous 850 hp and 650 ft lbs of torque. That's 350 hp and 418 ft lbs of torque more than the standard version of the Dark Horse, which works out to an increase of 70 percent (and slightly more in the case of the GT).
Drivers won't have any problem feeling the boost in performance, either. Hennessey says the muscle car, which is available with either a 10-speed automatic or a six-speed manual, can rocket from zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and run the standing quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. Those are improvements of 0.5 seconds and 1.1 seconds, respectively.
In addition to the upgraded powertrain, the Super Venom also wears a special '91 Icon Livery (Hennessey was founded in 1991), which is available in either black, red, or silver. The coupé has been outfitted in a carbon-fiber aero that includes a new front splitter, side skirts, and a rather prominent rear wing. There is also Hennessey badging on nearly every surface and 20-inch lightweight performance wheels. The interior, meanwhile, is available in either blue or black leather and Alcantara upholstery and features a 'tailor-made' dash plaque with the car's serial number and optional Recaro sports seats.
Pricing for the Super Venom Mustang starts at $149,950 for the GT version and $163,950 for the Dark Horse. That represents a steep increase over the variant's $46,560 and $63,080 starting prices. If those numbers don't put you off, you'll want to reach out to Hennessey now about reserving your build slot. The company plans to build just 91 examples of the Super Venom Mustang in total.Best of Robb Report

NASCAR at Nashville 2025: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Cracker Barrel 400
NASCAR at Nashville 2025: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Cracker Barrel 400 Show Caption Hide Caption Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Prime Video NASCAR coverage will provide new ways to cover the sport Starting on May 25th, Prime Video will have exclusive coverage of 5 NASCAR Cup series events. Dale Earnhardt Jr will be in the broadcast booth and reveals what to expect from their coverage. The NASCAR Cup Series made its debut at the Nashville Superspeedway in 2021 after the circuit didn't come through the city for nearly 40 years, and the venue has quickly entrenched itself as a compelling annual stop again. NASCAR returns to the Nashville, Tennessee area for the fifth-straight year with the Cracker Barrel 400 scheduled for Sunday night. The stakes keep growing now that the 2025 NASCAR season is officially past its halfway point and the standings remain mostly bunched together with only 12 races remaining before the playoffs begin. After an exciting Coca-Cola 600 in which Ross Chastain surged past William Byron late for his first win of 2025, the brief history of the Cracker Barrel 400 suggests more action is on the way. Last year's race at Nashville Superspeedway featured a record number of overtime restarts and 31 extra laps. Joey Logano emerged as the winner and it eventually led to his third series championship last fall. Chastain won the 2023 NASCAR race in Nashville and Kyle Larson, after attempting to race in both the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 last week, is the only driver in the Cracker Barrel 400 field with top-10 finishes in all four previous NASCAR Cup Series races at Nashville Superspeedway.

The race will be broken into three stages — Stage 1: 90 laps; Stage 2: 95 laps; Stage 3: 115 laps. Who won the Cracker Barrel 400 last year? Joey Logano got his first win of the 2024 season and secured a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs after a record five overtime restarts at NASCAR's Nashville race, which was called the Ally 400 last year.

Justin Allgaier Wins Nashville Xfinity Race After Feeling He Failed His Team the Weekend Prior
After sweeping the opening two stages, Justin Allgaier ultimately won his third race of the 2025 season with an aggressive restart with 47 laps to go. Allgaier lined up behind the No. 20 of Brandon Jones, restarting third with Connor Zilisch on the outside of the front row. Jones was on older tires than the rest of the leaders, and Allgaier took this as his chance to move to the lead. The 2024 champion dove low on the restart to move past Jones, as Zilsich took the high line, Allgaier took the lead entering turn one, and secured it leaving turn two. From there, Allgaier was in control until the end of the race, with four laps remaining, a car got loose and kissed the wall, nearly collecting Allgaier. This was Allgaier's third win of the season, tying Austin Hill. With it, Allgaier extends his championship lead by collecting the maximum 61 points for winning both stages, running the fastest lap, and taking the win. "Racing was a lot of fun with Connor there, and I knew whoever got out front was going to be the winner," Allgaier told The CW Sports. Zilisch settles for his second runner-up finish in a row, as an oval win in 2025 continues to evade the rookie driver. Allgaier's first message after winning was that he felt like he had failed his team with his decision not to pit late last week at Charlotte, leading him to finish fourth after dominating late in the race. "I failed you all last week, I need to redeem myself this week," Allgaier said over the radio. Allgaier stayed out last week when he saw that the No. 00 of Sheldon Creed was making the same decision, he assumed he could pull more people to stay out on the track but instead the majority of the leaders pitted for fresh tires, which turned out to be the race winning move as Allgaier feel back to fourth. "Being the leader is a tough spot in that regard," Allgaier told CW Sports last week. "I saw that the No. 00 was heading to stay out anyway, and to be honest with you, you know, Jim Pohlman, this whole 7 team, they do an amazing job, and I should have just come down pit road." This week, when asked if it was the machine or the driver that deserved flowers for the win, he responded with the crew. "These guys right here," Allgaier said. "They deserve this more than anything. I screwed them over last week for making a pit call with a car that was equally on rails." For Zilisch, a second-place finish didn't come with a redemption arc as he lost his chance at a win on restart for the second straight week. "I thought I might be able to get back by him, but clean air was everything," Zilisch said. It's the second week in a row I've finished second thanks to a restart." Zilisch, while disappointed in a second-place run, is happy to learn as much as possible by running against past champions and consistent winners during his rookie campaign. Sam Mayer, Zilisch and Allgaier's JR Motorsports teammate, finished third with Creed in second. Ross Chastain, after running through the field several times, settled for a fifth-place finish ahead of Aric Almirola and Austin Hill.
