Although Ford has yet to release a Mustang that can rival the 707 horsepower 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the guys over at Hennessey have the answer. What we have here is the 2015 HPE700 Mustang that tops the Challenger SRT Hellcat with a supercharged 717 horsepower V8.
The HPE700 Mustang is powered by the same 5.0L V8 as the Mustang GT, but thanks to a Roots-type high-helix supercharger with 7.25 psi of boost, the engine generates 717 horsepower and 632 lb-ft. of torque. Hennessey says that it will reach 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph (the Challenger SRT Hellcat has the same quarter-mile time).

Buyers can add also add upgrades like a carbon fiber body kit that includes the front splitter, side sills, rear diffuser and rear lip spoiler. 20-in.
