  • 2019 Hennessey Heritage Edition Ford F-150

    Hennessey Performance Engineering is back with another madly modified creation. This time it's a Ford F-150 that's been dialed up to produce 758 horsepower.

The transformation starts with the installation of a 2.9-liter supercharger to make the 758-hp figure at the crank. Dyno testing shows 570 hp actually makes its way to the rear wheels, which is still plenty of punch for a full-size pickup. Other...
