Uvalde, Texas—On Wednesday, May 27, 2015, professional driver, Brian Smith, drove the Hennessey HPE750 Supercharged Mustang to a top speed of 207.9 mph. In the process, Hennessey’s potent pony car became the first 2015 Mustang to break the 200 mph mark. Jay Leno was on hand to witness the record speed while filming an upcoming episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, which will air on CNBC later this year.

The run was made on the 8.5 mile high speed oval at the Continental Tire Proving Grounds located in Uvalde, Texas – the same test track where John Hennessey test drove the company’s HPE700 Mustang to a top speed of 195 mph back in February of this year. During both tests, speeds were validated with Racelogic’s VBox 3i GPS data logging system.

“If at first you don’t succeed, just add more horsepower and rpm and try again,” said company founder and president, John Hennessey. “It’s pretty cool to be able to offer an American muscle car that delivers supercar performance for under $70,000.

200+ mph From a car that you can originally own for under 40k. Mustang is an insane value for the money

Imagine Ford making the base stock mustang gt’s go 200 and the gt500 hit 220 stock that would be epic

I did 182 mph on a very slight downhill on interstate/"Greenway" 417 here in Seminole county in Fl....oh my car was a bone stock 2000 Mustang Cobra R model...at 182 I was steering with one hand...it was dead calm...what a well engineered Mustang that was...wish I still had her.

Very impressive. The Mustang's front end isn't exactly what I'd call aerodynamic, but it still managed a great top speed. Seems like it was getting a bit floaty at the top end, but he held on. My RX7 gets a bit floaty around 150 on a windy day, and it looks like it has better front end aero than the GT, but I'm no expert on that.

My dream is to one day be able to own a Hennessey vehicle, especially a Mustang. This man and his team are the best at what they do.

Not only does it prove American Muscle can hang with exotic supercars but can Powerthrough at a quarter of the cost.

Nice! Car must be pretty light at that speed judging by the drivers steering corrections just to keep it straight.
