The Hennessey Exorcist Camaro ZL1 Final Edition pays tribute to the Chevrolet Camaro and is the fastest-accelerating car from the American tuner.

The current sixth-generation combustion-engined Camaro will be retired in 2024 after its introduction in 2016.

Reports suggest that it will be replaced with an electric mid-sized saloon, a departure from the two-door sports coupé format that the model line has followed since 1966.

Limited to a production run of 57 cars, the Exorcist boasts a completely overhauled 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine, delivering a staggering 1000bhp and 922 lb-ft of torque.

This power results in a 0-62mph time of just 2.1 seconds, matching the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 and surpassing every car previously produced by Hennessey, including its own Venom hypercar with a top speed of 250mph.

The Exorcist has a top speed of 217mph and can complete a quarter mile in just 9.57 seconds, matching the Tesla Model S Plaid and beating the Porsche 911 Turbo S.

With the aim of muscle car supremacy, the Exorcist brings a set of technical upgrades over the standard 650bhp Camaro ZL1. Its engine features a larger supercharger, a high-pressure fuel system, a high-flow induction system, bespoke camshafts, intake valves, and exhaust valves. Additionally, its suspension has been enhanced with upgraded pushrods.

Each Exorcist engine is marked with a plaque indicating its unique build number. Production has commenced.
