With the discontinuation of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, enthusiasts were left wondering how the iconic muscle car would make its final bow.

This 1,000-horsepower beast is Hennessey’s way of ensuring the Camaro gets the sendoff it deserves, targeting even the mighty Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170.

In a recently released four-minute video on Hennessey’s official YouTube channel, the Camaro ZL1 Exorcist Final Edition is showcased in all its glory. The video features the car both on the road and tearing up Hennessey’s test track, with no narration—just the pure, raw sound of its supercharged V8 stealing the spotlight.

The video begins with a detailed look at the high-performance upgrades that transform the standard ZL1 into the monstrous Exorcist Final Edition. Following a quick wash, the Camaro is unleashed on the open road, roaring as it speeds through. The action soon moves to the test track, where the Exorcist demonstrates its blistering speed and immense power. Inside the cabin, viewers are treated to brief glimpses of the high-end materials and driver-focused cockpit, but the true highlight remains the thunderous V8.

To reach its incredible 1,000-horsepower output, Hennessey upgraded the ZL1’s supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8 with a custom camshaft, high-flow supercharger, upgraded fuel injectors, ported heads, and an enhanced valve train. The result is a staggering 966 lb-ft of torque, which propels the Exorcist from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.1 seconds, and through the quarter-mile in an astounding 9.57 seconds. With a top speed of 217 mph, the Exorcist Final Edition is a true performance juggernaut.

The video ends with the Exorcist at rest, hinting that while the Camaro may be exiting the stage, it is leaving behind an unforgettable legacy. For fans of the Camaro and high-performance machines, the Exorcist Final Edition represents the perfect tribute to an era of unbridled American muscle.
