Hennessey

If you wanted to get your hands on the new special edition of the Hennessey Venom GT, you had to know the right people—most likely, John Hennessey himself. Because the new red, white, and blue World's Fastest Edition of the supercar is limited to just three units—and it’s already...

Earlier today, we told you about John Hennessey and his team taking their Venom GT supercar out to a NASA runway to give it the ole' Texas try. The top recorded speed was 270.49 mph. That's enough to best even the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport's record top speed by a small margin. It's a much larger...

UPDATE: Watch the Hennessey Venom GT Hit 270.49 MPH For some time now, John Hennessey and his team have been making fast cars much faster. In 2011, the Hennessey Venom GT was created in order to offer John's customers something that was capable of going from hyper-legals speeds into hyperspace...

Hennessey is offering performance upgrades for the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray that sees the car’s output top out at 1,000 horsepower, more than double that of the stock version. This one, featuring the Texan tuner’s HPE700 twin-turbocharged package, isn’t quite that powerful but...

Hennessey has offered a teaser of the performance that’s to come from its new tuning program for the 2014 Chevrolet SS. In its latest video, Hennessey shows one of its modified SS sedans, still in an initial state of tune, barreling down a stretch of Texas toll road--with full approval from...

Watch the former GM Performance Division chief flog a 600-horsepower Hennessey Corvette.

John Hennessey is a man who makes fast cars faster. His HPE-tuned stable includes a wide range of vehicles from ultra exotics like the Ferrari 458 to rowdy domestics like the Ford Raptor.

Hennessey Performance Engineering does many things we envy, from the Venom GT to its ridiculous/awesome CTS-Vs. But this we don't so much envy--we've already driven the Stingray hard. We can't say it surprises us, either. But it's still impressive. A bone-stock, automatic-transmission Stingray, the...

The Circuit of the Americas is a world-class facility and a very challenging track to master.

Few cars available today fit the description of a “sleeper” better than the Ford Taurus SHO. Almost indistinguishable from a stock Taurus, the high-performance SHO, with its 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, will put many sports cars to shame. The guys at Hennessey, however...

The Texas Mile may need to be renamed to the “Hennessey Mile,” or even the “Mark Heidaker Mile,” since one thing is becoming clear: the tuner and car owner apparently own the top speed record at the semiannual event, held in Beeville, Texas. In March of 2012, driver Sean...
