To harness the added power, Hennessey takes the V8 to a twin-turbo setup and uses an enhanced fuel system along with bigger pistons and rods, according to Motor 1. A stainless-steel exhaust is also integrated along with an upgraded cooler, and high-flow induction system to complete the engine modification, the news outlet said.

With the added power of up to 440 horsepower, Hennessey also reportedly modifies the transmission to handle the power. Hennessey said it also provides a one-year/12,000-mile warranty and test drives the modified GT500 as far as 150 miles for quality assurance.
