2015 Hennessey Mustang Hits 195 mph!

2015 Hennessey Mustang Runs 195 MPH!


HPE700 Supercharged Upgrade for the 
2015 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8
Limited Edition - Only 500 Units Will Be Built for the 2015 Model Year



Bad Ass! When are we going to get this beast into the Sim Racing World. Seems Saleen has made it's way to racing sims through Forza and Gran Turismo. Don't get me wrong I love the Saleens, but would also like to see a Texas based company Hennessey on the Sim scene with all their awesome creations.

Hennessey takes the ordinary sports car or any vehicle and transforms them into a complete engineered beast of a package. From the above everyday Mustang 5.0 conversion to the high end exotic Nissan GTR's to Ford Raptor's and much much more. You dream it and they build it.

Check out the Specs here and from Hennessey:

Power
• 717 bhp @ 7,000 rpm
• 632 lb-ft torque @ 4,400 rpm

Reiza V1.27 Update Released

GSCE on Steam


Nice! Check out the above video. Take note of the smooth 60 FPS and beautiful graphics in the surroundings along with the track service and shadows.

Reiza never seems to disappoint me when playing their sim. I mean you got cool, carts, old school race cars and Formula cars. I guess only other thing I would love to see is some GT cars. Please Reiza ;)
