In the realm of muscle trucks, the Ford F-150 Raptor R doesn’t really have any rivals – at least, not after the Ram TRX was discontinued recently, giving way to the less powerful, Hurricane I-6 powered RHO. Thus, those looking for a 700+ horsepower, supercharged V8-powered pickup have nowhere else to look – except the aftermarket, that is. There, the 2024 Shelby F-150 and Steeda F-150 Tremor are already available and pack just as much punch as the Raptor R, and now, they’ve been joined by the all-new Hennessey Venom 800, too.
The new Hennessey Venom 800 is based on the regular Ford F-150, but has received a host of upgrades that help transform it into a properly capable machine both on and off the pavement. On the outside, those upgrades include a single-piece carbon fiber Hennessey grille, front and rear steel Venom bumpers, off-road LED lighting in the front bumper, electronic fold-out running boards, illuminated Venom 800 front fender badges, and 20-inch Hennessey 10-spoke wheels wrapped with 35-inch off-road tires. Underneath, Hennessey gives the Venom a six-inch BDS lift kit with Fox coilovers, plus upgraded rear shocks and six-piston Brembo brakes. Inside the cabin, the Hennessey Venom 800 features embroidered headrests, all-weather floor mats, American flag inserts, and a serial numbered plaque.
Of course, the biggest upgrade present here lies under the hood, where the factory 5.0L V8 Coyote engine has been treated to a massive 3.0L supercharger, an upgraded air-to-water intercooler, a high-performance fuel injection system, a high-flow air induction system, a dual-tip cat-back exhaust, and Hennessey’s own engine management calibration, which lifts output all the way up to 800 horsepower and 757 pound-feet of torque – enabling the Hennessey Venom 800 to do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and post an 11.7 second quarter-mile time.
For 2024, the Hennessey Venom 800 is being limited to just 250 units for the entire globe, with each coming with a three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty. Pricing hasn’t yet been announced, but interested customers can order one exclusively via any authorized Ford dealer, or from Hennessey Performance itself.
