Hennessey 2010 HPE700 Camaro Production Commences [Video]

Hennessey Performance Engineering has announced the beginning of production of their 2010 HPE700 Camaro.  The company will produce three of the 755 horsepower vehicles every month, with delivery beginning in a few weeks.

The supercharged LS9 V8 engine is taken from the Corvette ZR1, and now produces a massive 717 ft-lb of torque, up by 122 ft-lb.  Horsepower was originally announced to be 705 hp, already up from the engine's original 620 hp rating.  The engine does have a true, American musle car sound, as can be heard in the video.

To bring in all that power, Hennessey installed 15-inch carbon brakes, normally found on the ZR1.  Lightweight wheels are wrapped in Michelin PS2 tires, and a customized suspension makes the car more legit.  The tuners also added a decent amount of carbon fiber body panels and a hood with view of the engine, while bringing back the hidden headlights seen on Camaros of the past.

Those attending SEMA in Las Vegas will get a chance to see the 2010 HPE 700 Camaro.  Thirteen orders have already been placed for the $119,500 car (not including shipping), which leaves eleven more left to be claimed.
