Sealy, Texas (February 27, 2024) – In a thrilling display of automotive alchemy, Hennessey has transformed the Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray hard top convertible (HTC) into a behemoth of speed and power. Dubbed the ‘H700’, this supercharged sensation is redefining the limits of America’s beloved mid-engine sports car.
The standard Corvette C8 Stingray, with its mid-mounted LT2 6.2-liter V8 engine, delivers a respectable 490 bhp and 630 Nm of torque. But Hennessey, never content with ‘respectable’, has taken this American classic and endowed it with a staggering 708 bhp and 865 Nm of torque. That’s a Herculean increase of 44 percent in horsepower and 37 percent in torque, propelling the H700 past the celebrated Corvette Z06 in the race for raw power.
