Texas-based tuning
house Hennessey has developed a set of performance upgrades for
McLaren’s newest supercar: the MP4-12C. While the car comes straight out
of Woking with 600 hp, the HPE800 program will deliver (the clue’s in
the name) 800 hp. This is achieved through an ECU re-flash, swapping out
the twin-turbo/intercooler setup with Hennessey’s own hardware and
installing a titanium exhaust system. The big H also offers some
carbon-fiber aerodynamic appendages to make the most of this extra
power, along with new monoblock alloy wheels wearing Michelin Pilot
Super Sport performance rubber, plus some carbon-fiber, Alacantara and
leather interior highlights. Hennessey has, however, decided to leave
the brakes and suspension untouched, since they are already about as
good as it gets.
