Hennessey Performance previews twin-turbo HPE800 McLaren MP4-12C
Tuning company Hennessey Performance Engineering has set their sights on British automaker McLaren Automotive and their new MP4-12C. The company is offering their HPE800 Twin Turbo upgrade for the McLaren MP4-12C, which includes powertrain upgrades, aero package upgrades, Hennessey CarbonAero bodywork and a center-positioned frontal air inlet with hood extractor.
We’re guessing Hennessey’s upgrade will take the ‘standard’ 592-hp to 800-hp.

“We’ve been taking fast cars and have been making them faster for over twenty years,” said company founder and president John Hennessey. “I spent a lot of time around the new 12C at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed and was very impressed. We’re excited to have the opportunity to take a great car and give it our own special performance touch while giving 12C owners a uniquely aggressive appearance”.
