The 1000HP, 2017 Trans Am Super Duty

Unleashed at the NY AUTO Show

Trans Am Worldwide unveils the all-new 2017 Trans Am and Trans Am Super Duty April 14th at the New York Auto Show.

Trans Am Worldwide of Tallahassee, Florida, the exclusive manufacturer of the Trans Am brand through its distribution arm, Trans Am Depot, has completed their first new model on the Alpha platform. After a very successful and sold-out Bandit Edition, signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds, Trans Am Worldwide takes off the bridle and unleashes the all-new 2017 Trans Am (Outlaw Series) and the premier limited edition 1000hp Trans Am Super Duty.

Design

This year’s model is led by in-house chief designer and engineer Tom Sawyer. Sawyer, just like his namesake, brought a spirit of adventure and imagination to the project while engineering all aspects of the Alpha platform Trans Am. For graphical renderings, Tom collaborated with internationally acclaimed Automotive designer, Bo Zolland of Sweden , an award-winning designer of cars and boats who has worked with everyone from Detroit auto makers to Jay Leno. 

 

 

“ The new model is a complete re-design that features sleek body lines with masculine proportions and traditional retro styling. We are also offering optional glass t-tops this year but perhaps the most notable of this historical accomplishment is that we now join the ranks of only an exclusive few who offer a 1,000hp performance package in a production vehicle” Tod Warmack, Co-Founder.

 

Performance

For those with an affinity for power and speed, the 2017 premier model is the Trans Am Super Duty boasting 1000hp and 1046’lb tq. In tribute to this iconic muscle car legend, Trans Am Worldwide will limit this series to a strict edition of 50 supercars. The development of this performance collaboration is a three-way partnership with Magnuson Superchargers, Ventura, CA Trans Am Worldwide and a
premier NASCAR engine builder from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Hennessey upgrades the ZL1 Camaro to THE EXORCIST

THE EXORCIST is based on  the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 but reaches 1000HP

ZL1 is the most powerful Camaro ever produced, sporting a supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8. The Eaton supercharger features a new intercooler design that provides more efficient heat exchange and prolonged, sustained power – 650 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. While the competition fades, ZL1 delivers consistent power. But...350 hp more are possible. How? Just continue reading.

Hennessey Performance (HPE) introduces their newest super muscle car:  THE EXORCIST ^TM.

Based on the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the Hennessey team radically increased the Chevy’s LT4 V8 engine’s power to 1000 bhp @ 6,400 rpm and 966 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm.  Power is increased via a series of engine modifications, including a larger, higher flowing supercharger & intercooler system producing 14 psi of boost pressure.  This system is mated with ported factory cylinder heads, camshaft upgrade, long-tube stainless steel headers, high-flow air induction system and custom engine management calibration.  THE EXORCIST ^TM is available for both 6-speed manual and 10-speed automatic equipped ZL1 Camaro’s.

“Equipped with rear drag radial tires, The Exorcist will deliver 0-60 mph times under 3 seconds while running the ¼ mile in less than 10 seconds,” said company founder and president, John Hennessey.  “However, THE EXORCIST ^TM is not just a ¼ mile racer.  It’s a well-rounded super muscle car that is just as happy on a road course as it is on the dragstrip and street.  Needless to say, this will leave the competition’s heads spinning.”

THE EXORCIST ^TM is available as a new turnkey vehicle from Hennessey and can also be ordered directly from Chevrolet dealers.  ZL1 Camaro owners can also send their vehicles to HPE for the conversion.  The base cost for THE EXORCIST upgrade, including the 1000 hp engine upgrade and graphics is $55,000 and includes a limited 2 year / 24,000 mile warranty.  Automatic equipped vehicles will require an upgraded transmission at the cost of $9,950.  The optional drag pack includes a pair of 20 inch wheels with 315/30-20 Nitto drag radial tires, drive shaft upgrade, floor jack and tool kit at the cost of $8,995.  The optional road race pack includes a set of 20 inch light weight Hennessey wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires at the cost of $6,995.

THE EXORCIST ^TM also includes optional delivery at Hennessey’s own ¼ mile dragstrip – Lonestar Motorsports Park – located next to the company’s workshop which is located an hour west of Houston, Texas.  Just 100 units of the THE EXORCIST will be produced per model year.  THE EXORCIST ^TM will make its public debut at the Houston Auto Show on Wednesday, April 5.
