Sure it gets a very cool body kit that totally revamps the looks of the car, new wheels, and a range of new accessories, but the real difference is to be found under the bonnet.

There lives a monster in form of a 6.2 liter supercharged V8 which thanks to Hennessey mods, including high-flow cylinder heads, a new crankshaft, upgraded fuel injectors, an intercooler and a revised ECU makes no less than 1,000 hp and 950 lb-ft (1,286 Nm) of torque.

The VelociRaptor package is available in two 600 and 800 formats, with 605 and 810 hp respectively. That’s been achieved by using a pair of new Turbochargers specially developed for the 6.2 V8. Of course there’s a range of other modificaitons as well.

The 600 gets Dual Air-to-Air Front Mounted Intercoolers, Stainless Steel Turbo Exhaust, Dual 44 mm Wastegates, Dual Blow-Off Valves, Electronic Boost Controller, Polished Inlet Piping, Fuel System & Injector Upgrade and HPE Engine Management Calibration.

While the 800 also features Forged Aluminum Pistons, Forged Steel Connecting Rods, Forged Steel Connecting Rods, and transmission upgrade.

We’re talking about the HPE700 model which chucks out 755 hp! To achieve this, they had to do an engine transplant and put the LS9 V8 of  the Corvette ZR1 into this Camaro, and apparently the operation has been successful.

But the standard ZR1 engine didn’t phase them enough so they supercharged it and with some other adjustments here and there, they arrived at this extremely powerful model.

The HPE 700 costs you around $120,000 and honestly it’s bargain! Most of the cars with this level of power under the bonnet cost as least twice that. That’s why 13 units of this cars have already been ordered. Hennessey says they will only make 24!

The HPE700 based on 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will be shown to the public at this year’s SEMA show in Las Vegas.
