Hennessey Performance"s latest creation is as much about a lairy paint job as it is a fantastical power output. This is the Hennessey Heritage F-150, possibly one of the most outrageous vehicles to wear a racing livery and a go-faster stripe to come out of America. The bodywork is decked out in the livery worn by the 1967 Le Mans-winning Ford GT40 MkIV. However, the numbers developed under the bonnet would"ve baffled a truck owner from the same period. Affixed to the 5.0-litre V8 is a supercharger with over half the engine"s air capacity a 2.9-litre monster. It"s aided by a beefed-up fueling system (naturally), freer-flowing intake and a catback exhaust, and the results are exactly what you"d expect from the Texan tuning house. It delivers 750bhp and 660lb ft and a 0-60mph time of 4.3 seconds. Not as fast as a supercar, these days, but pretty damn nippy for an aircraft hangar.
