2011 Hennessey HPE700 Chevy Camaro Convertible Boasts 755 HP Supercharged LS9 Engine

Even though Chevrolet’s new Camaro convertible won’t be making its in-the-metal debut until next month’s L.A. Auto Show, John Hennessey and crew are already preparing to make the General’s newest droptop even fiestier. In the process, they’re also giving people who weren’t able to pick up one of their limited edition carnivorous Camaros this year a second chance.


You see, Hennessey only produced 24 HPE700s in 2010. With 725hp on tap from a tweaked LS9 supercharged 6.2L V8 cribbed from the Corvette ZR1, performance was, unsurprisingly, stupefying. Once again, only two-dozen copies will be made, but buyers will have a choice of coupe or convertible. But the addition of an al fresco version isn’t the only big news for the ’11 model. Where’s (the rest of) the beef? Jump, if you please.
