The Beast Unchained: Hennessey Transforms the C8 Corvette Convertible into a 708-HP Monster
When it comes to unleashing the true potential of high-performance cars, no name echoes louder in the automotive industry than Hennessey Performance. The Texas-based tuning house has once again made headlines with its latest engineering marvel - the H700 package, tailored specifically for the Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray Convertibles. This upgrade suite not only intensifies the Stingray’s appeal but hoists it into a realm that surpasses even the legendary C8 Z06, delivering an unprecedented 708 bhp and 638 lb-ft of torque. Let's delve into the transformative journey undertaken by Hennessey to unleash this convertible beast.
From Production Line to Powerhouse
The Corvette Stingray, as it rolls off the production line, is no slouch, boasting 490 bhp and 465 lb-ft of torque. However, Hennessey saw an unfinished masterpiece in the stock Stingray’s LT2 V8 engine. The H700 package introduces a supercharged symphony of upgrades elevating the convertible’s prowess by 44% in horsepower and 38% in torque, turning the roadster into a formidable force against even the most celebrated sports cars.
At the heart of the H700 upgrade lies a meticulously engineered high-performance supercharger, designed to nestle within the Stingray Convertible’s compact engine bay. The project also features an air-to-water intercooler, a high-flow air induction system, a robust upgraded fuel system, and a resonant cat-back exhaust. For customers yearning for even more distinction, Hennessey offers add-ons such as an active-valve exhaust system, bespoke 19-inch alloy wheels, and the iconic Hennessey C8 Heritage Livery – all ensuring that each H700 Stingray Convertible stands out as a singular masterpiece.
A Symphony of Power
Completing the transformation, each H700-adorned Stingray boasts Hennessey and H700 badging, alongside a serialized plaque marking its exclusivity. This commitment to excellence extends to peace of mind, with Hennessey providing a 3-Year/36,000-Mile warranty on all upgrades. Available to all 2020-2024 Corvette Stingray Convertibles, this package promises to heighten the Corvette's storied legacy with staggering power, awe-inspiring acceleration, and an immersive open-air driving experience complemented by the Corvette’s roaring V8 symphony.
John Hennessey, the visionary behind this masterpiece, succinctly captures the essence of the H700 upgrade, “Our supercharged C8 Convertible boosts America’s favorite sports car to extraordinary performance levels. We’ve unleashed the power Chevrolet left on the table, elevating the Corvette beyond its rivals. It’s not just about raw power; it’s the thrill of open-air driving coupled with earth-shattering performance.”
The H700 package stands not just as a testament to Hennessey’s engineering prowess, but as a beacon of what’s possible when ingenuity meets the iconic Chevrolet Corvette. For those with a yearning to experience this heightened state of power and performance, Hennessey’s doors are open, hinting at the dawn of a new era for the beloved convertible.
