MAKING FAST CARS FASTER SINCE 1991

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Hennessey® Performance was founded more than 30 years ago and has been focused on pioneering automotive performance ever since.

John Hennessey, our founder and CEO, made a name for himself in the early 1990s with race-winning vehicle modifications that gained global fame. Pursuing his true passion, John left his small environmental business and aimed his entrepreneurial skills at modifying, tuning, and enhancing high performance cars and trucks. 

Today, the company operates Hennessey® Performance Engineering (HPE), Hennessey® Special Vehicles (HSV), and the world-famous Tuner School® where future vehicle engineers and tuners learn the trade. 

Hennessey® has modified more than 10,000 cars and trucks since opening in 1991.

WHAT WE DO

Hennessey® Performance makes fast cars go faster. 

Our specialty is increasing the performance envelope of high-performance cars and trucks through engine, suspension, and chassis upgrades – we enhance both domestic and import vehicles to supercar levels.

Our Texas facility boasts a massive workshop with more than 30 service bays, 24 hydraulic lifts, two in-ground dynamometers, laser alignment racks, and the latest tools and technology. We have a dedicated R&D facility and a state-of-the-art design studio on our campus, which allows our team of expert engineers and technicians to do both design and testing on-site. 

One of our greatest assets is our private proving grounds and 1/4-mile dragstrip – the Pennzoil Proving Ground at Lonestar Motorsports Park – so Hennessey® teams may test, evaluate, and refine the vehicle enhancements without leaving our property.
