Hennessey Introduces Venom 800 F-150

Hennessey has announced a more powerful and even quicker alternative to the Ford F-150 Raptor R – the Hennessey Venom 800 F-150.

Inundated by power-hungry customers unable to secure a Raptor R, the Hennessey team has responded with a package boasting 800 bhp at 6,200 rpm and 757 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm, according to the company. The leap in performance enables 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and an 11.7-second quarter-mile time.

The Venom 800 truck pairs exterior and interior upgrades with additional enhancements to the suspension, wheels, tires and powertrain to deliver a formidable full-size super-truck packed with performance, capability and signature Hennessey flair.

“Demand for Hennessey trucks continues to grow strongly. Our new Venom 800 F-150 is the super truck that our clients have been asking for. Highly capable both on- and off-road, it offers the perfect combination of performance, utility, and luxury,” said John Hennessey, company founder and CEO.

To achieve the performance improvements, Hennessey’s engineers add a 3.0-liter supercharger, upgraded air-to-water intercooler, high-performance fuel injection, and high-flow air induction system alongside Hennessey’s proprietary engine management calibration, a dual-tip cat-back exhaust, and massive six-piston Brembo performance brakes.

Beyond its powerful performance and stopping ability, the Hennessey Venom 800 upgrade adds a 6-inch BDS suspension lift with FOX coil-overs, upgraded rear shocks, 20-inch Hennessey 10-spoke wheels, 35-inch off-road tires, front and rear steel Venom bumpers and LED off-road lights integrated into the front bumper.

The Hennessey team also added a host of exterior and interior features to further elevate the Venom 800’s individuality, comfort and style, the company notes. Outside, the truck receives a massive, single-piece carbon fiber Hennessey grille, electronic fold-out running boards, and illuminated Venom 800 front fender badges. 

Inside, passengers enjoy premium Hennessey script embroidered headrests, all-weather Hennessey floor mats throughout, American flag inserts, and a serial-numbered plaque.

Only 250 units are available globally for 2024 with each model sporting signature Hennessey badging and a serial-numbered engine plaque. The trucks are available exclusively through authorized Ford retailers, with each benefiting from Hennessey’s 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty.
