Heffner Performance Ford GT Stage II
The Heffner Ford GT is what happens when a Sarasota twin-turbo specialist gets its hands on one of America's greatest supercars. Heffner Performance takes the 2005 to 2006 Ford GT and rebuilds it into a road-legal monster that can reach up to 2000 horsepower, comfortably outpacing modern hypercars in a straight line. The Stage II package pushes the supercharged GT into genuine dragster territory while keeping it street-usable.
Who is Heffner Performance?
Heffner Performance is a Sarasota-based twin-turbo engine specialist, and describing their work simply as tuning is reductive. What they actually do is take European and American performance cars and turn them into 1000BHP-plus drag machines. While they can transform practically any car into a dragster, the house specials are Lamborghinis, Audi R8s, Dodge Vipers and, above all, Ford GTs.
How much power does the Heffner Ford GT make?
With the currently available preparation packs, the Ford GT can reach an unbelievable 1100BHP at the wheel. The second-generation Elite twin-turbo system, fitted to the supercharged 5.4L V8, is rumoured to unleash around 2000 horsepower while remaining totally road-legal. According to Ford Authority, that figure lets the GT humiliate a brand-new Bugatti Chiron in the quarter-mile and half-mile racing brackets. Heffner even set a one-mile top-speed record of 266.9 mph in a Ford GT, as documented on the Heffner Performance site.
What does a Heffner Ford GT cost?
The price for the Stage II package remains undisclosed, but it certainly won't be low, likely on par with far more mainstream hypercars. This is a completely different type of car: if you choose to buy one, it means you know exactly what you want, and what you want is to go through a straight section as fast as physically possible.
Where to find big-power hypercars
If a 2000-horsepower twin-turbo machine speaks to you, TheArsenale curates a fleet of comparable extremes. The quad-turbo Devel Sixteen with its 5007 HP V16 dwarfs even the Heffner GT, while the RAESR Tachyon electric hypercar chases the same numbers electrically. Italian craft is represented by the Frangivento Sorpasso GT3. Explore them all in the TheArsenale cars collection.
