Hennessey Revives Its 850HP Shelby GT350 Packages

Hennessey Performance has announced a revival of its popular H850 supercharged upgrade for the Ford Mustang GT350. This limited-production run dubbed the “Revival Series,” offers enthusiasts a second chance to own a powerful version of this iconic muscle car. The company will produce only 24 of these enhanced Mustangs for global distribution. The Ford Mustang GT350, with its racing heritage, holds a special place among Mustang enthusiasts. When Ford reintroduced the model in 2016, it made a unique vehicle.

The engine of the GT350 is a 5.2-liter Voodoo V8 engine, known for its distinctive flat-plane crank and exceptional exhaust note. The engine provides a strong foundation for Hennessey’s performance enhancements. The upgrade centers around a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger system. This addition boosts the GT350’s output to an impressive 850 horsepower. According to Alec from Hennessey Performance, the upgrade “still keeps it a very driver-focused car, it just gives you so much more power on the low end all the way up to the 8,250-rpm redline.”

The Revival Series pays homage to some of Hennessey’s most successful builds from its 35-year history. “What the Revival Series is, is an homage to some of the greatest vehicles that Hennessey has ever built in its 35 years of history,” Alec stated. The company selected the GT350 and its H850 package as the first model for this special series. “We thought what better way to start than with a GT350 and our H850 upgrade,” he added.

This new series offers those who missed the original H850 upgrade a chance to acquire this high-performance Mustang. The featured car in the announcement video is a 2020 Heritage Edition, finished in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue livery. This model displays an optional door-side livery number that corresponds to the build number of the car.

Hennessey built over 100 of these supercharged GT350s in the past. The company invested in research and development into this car since its original introduction in 2016. The H850 upgrade has proven popular with customers. Alec noted that “it’s been one of the most successful packages in the history of the company.”

The Revival Series is a limited production run. With only 24 units planned, these Mustangs will be rare. Alec concluded by saying that this car “truly is and will go down as one of the best Hennessey Performance vehicles on the road.” Those interested in acquiring one of these enhanced GT350s should contact Hennessey Performance for more information.
