Thread: McLaren MP4-12C Hennessey HPE800

Awesome car, looks great, and I would buy that body kit in a second. But...

The thing i love about hennessey is that their monster muscle cars. When you pull up to a red light in a camaro with 1000 horsepower and next to you is an f430, gallardo, or anything short of a veyron they will immediately think they have the upper hand until you rev that monstrous engine. The issue with them doing the same with the 12C is that it's already fast as Fvck. If anything pulls up next to you, they'll already think twice about looking down on you. A Hennessey Camaro is like adding A1 to a steak from costco, but a Hennessey McLaren is like adding A1 to a $100 porterhouse.

I'm usually not a big fan of aftermarket companies overhauling aesthetics but this car is straight out beast! I don't feel it's overdone at all.

I think McLaren MP4-12C and Hennessy doesn't fit.
Henessy is for me a company who does cool cars but in a modern McLaren there is so much technology. The McLaren has Sensors, actuators everywhere so they could leave of the anti-rollbar etc.

I think people put Mclaren on such a high level because of the exclusivity. They've only ever made one other production car which was obviously only available to very few. I think people don't look at Ferrari in the same eyes is because they've produced many cars over the years along with there cars being significantly more available. Despite F1, there two different types of brands. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan or the 575 maranello, 358, F430 and the 360CS, but I think it has a lot to do with the images of both companies. Both great legendary companies in the car world and beyond that, I think it comes down to preference and taste and seeing the car for what it really is in terms of design and purpose.

Turboman, I agree.

hennessy and mp4-12c in the same sentence just dont make sense but idk after they release an actual demo car then maybe i will change my opinion. werent they working on a bugatti at one point? i remember their add in dupont saying all the cars they had kits for but i dont recall a bunch of them being put into use

I much prefer the factory look

Hennessey is always creating something to just blow ur mind love it
