Whether you know Yenko Camaros through a muscle car fascination or perhaps that drag race
in 2Fast 2Furious
- it'll snap a speedo in five seconds flat, don't forget - it's certainly up there as one of the muscle car icons. Like a
Shelby Mustang
in fact, which of course has also just been updated for 2017.
Yenko Camaros are now made under licence from Speciality Vehicle Engineering (SVE), but the old Yenko tradition of gigantic power in a Camaro remains. Thanks to a forged crank, new heads, new pistons, uprated injectors and one massive supercharger, this Yenko Camaro makes 800hp and 750lb ft. There's even a badge to show off in traffic.
It also gets 20-inch wheels in the classic Yenko style, a smattering of badges and a choice of colours for the graphics: orange, white, silver, red, yellow and black. An orange car with black graphics would work nicely, right? That new bonnet is carbon fibre too.
SVE asks $40,000 for the supercharger upgrade, excluding the price of a donor car. But it also says just 50 a year will be made, keeping it exclusive. That or there only 50 people a year mad enough to want to drive an 800hp Camaro. Good luck to them all!
