Hennessey Unveils 708 HP 'H700' Supercharged C8 Corvette Convertible

Hennessey, the renowned Texas-based hypercar manufacturer, has taken the Corvette C8 Stingray hard top convertible (HTC), an iconic American mid-engine sports car, to unparalleled performance heights. The introduction of the Hennessey Supercharged 'H700' Corvette C8 Stingray has significantly elevated the vehicle's capabilities, positioning it to rival the performance of the celebrated Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06.

The standard eighth generation C8 convertible comes equipped with a mid-mounted LT2 6.2-liter V8 engine, generating 490 bhp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Hennessey's team, aiming to unlock the engine's full potential, has implemented a series of high-performance modifications. These include the installation of a supercharger, a comprehensive air induction system with an air-to-water intercooler, and an upgraded cat-back exhaust system.

As a result of these enhancements, the 'H700' now boasts 708 bhp and 638 lb-ft of torque, marking a significant improvement over the standard model. This 44 percent increase in horsepower and 37 percent increase in torque allows the Hennessey Supercharged 'H700' Corvette C8 Stingray to surpass the output of Chevrolet's flagship C8 Z06.

John Hennessey, the founder and CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, "Our supercharged C8 Convertible boosts America's favorite sports car to extraordinary performance levels. We've unleashed the power that Chevrolet left on the table, boosting output by more than 200 bhp." He emphasized the unique combination of power, acceleration, and open-air driving experience offered by the vehicle, alongside the Corvette's distinctive V8 roar.

The comprehensive upgrade package includes not only the supercharger with an air-to-water intercooler but also a high-flow air induction system, upgraded fuel system, and cat-back exhaust system, among other modifications. Customers have the option to further customize their vehicle with an active-valve exhaust system, forged 19-inch alloy wheels, and the 'Hennessey C8 Heritage Livery', available in multiple colors.

All upgraded vehicles will feature exclusive 'Hennessey' and 'H700' badging, as well as a serial numbered plaque, distinguishing them as part of this limited edition upgrade. The modification is available for all 2020-2024 Chevrolet C8 Corvette HTC models.
