Sealy, Texas (April 8, 2026) – Hennessey, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer and creator of high-performance cars, trucks, and SUVs has created an ultra-limited 850  hp ‘Super Venom’ Mustang to celebrate its 35^th  Anniversary.

To mark 35 years since John Hennessey founded the company in 1991, the Texas‑based firm chose one of its most iconic platforms: the Ford Mustang for a special anniversary treatment. Limited to just 35 units, the special Super Venom Mustang lives up to Hennessey’s long-standing view that ‘there’s no such thing as too much power’.

Hennessey increases the Mustang’s factory 5.0‑litre V8 output by 70 percent – from 500 hp to 850 hp – with torque rising by 55 percent to 650 lb‑ft at 4900 rpm. A bespoke ‘VenomAero’ carbon‑fiber performance kit improves cooling and handling, while each of the 35 cars features unique ‘35’ fender badging and a stylized ‘91’ hood graphic referencing Hennessey’s founding year.

35 Years of Performance Innovation

Founded in 1991 by John Hennessey, the company has grown from a simple passion for speed into one of the world’s most influential high-performance manufacturers, having re‑engineered more than 18,000 vehicles for customers around the globe.

Across three and a half decades, Hennessey has built a reputation for authentic engineering, extreme capability, and record‑setting performance. Early motorsport success at Pikes Peak, the Bonneville Salt Flats, and the Silver State Classic established the brand’s credibility, while landmark vehicles spanning American muscle cars, trucks, SUVs, and hypercars helped define entire performance segments.

John Hennessey, founder and CEO: “What started as a love for racing and going fast has turned into something far bigger than I ever imagined, but the fun of building extreme vehicles is still what drives us every day. We’ve scaled the business while staying true to our roots, and looking ahead, there’s a tremendous amount to be excited about. With our 35^th anniversary Super Venom Mustang, a new Hennessey hypercar on the way, and ever‑stronger relationships with partners like Ford, GM, and Stellantis, the future has never looked brighter.”

America’s Hypercar and Industry‑Leading OEM Partnerships

A defining milestone in Hennessey’s evolution came in 2000 with the creation of Hennessey Special Vehicles and the launch of the Venom F5 hypercar program. Known as ‘America’s Hypercar’, it established the company as a skilled bespoke vehicle manufacturer, placing the US firmly on the global hypercar map.

In parallel, Hennessey Performance Engineering continues to lead the high‑performance car, truck, and SUV market, supported by deep OEM partnerships and dealer excellence. In 2026, Hennessey recognized Ford Motor Company for the impact it’s made to high-performance manufacturing, while long‑time dealer partner Ken Grody Ford was honored as Dealer of the Year, underscoring the strength of these collaborations.

People and craftsmanship remain central to Hennessey’s success. The company’s Tuner School has trained hundreds of technicians since launch, many of whom now form part of Hennessey’s 140-strong workforce. To support increasing demand, Hennessey is expanding its Sealy, Texas campus to more than 100,000 square feet, bringing composite manufacturing and vehicle painting in‑house, while scaling high-performance vehicle production toward 2,000 units per year and dialing-up quality even further.

After 35 years, Hennessey remains focused on the future – advancing engineering capability, strengthening OEM relationships, and delivering ever more capable performance vehicles for customers worldwide.
