For over 30 years, John Hennessey has turned his passion for modifying cars into a thriving high performance vehicle brand. Making fast cars faster, Hennessey Performance Engineering has become a name worth knowing in the sports car industry. And it all began with John’s belief in the American Dream. As a young man, he learned that he had to work hard for everything he wanted. This persistent level of effort and the ability to learn from mistakes is what allowed John to go from racing his own modified cars to making an impact in the automobile industry with his elite, high-performance vehicles. As his brand grew, so did his family. John wanted to bring his family together through his passion for cars. Now the Hennessey family travels the world both working events for the company and taking in the sights together. John is proud of what he’s built and values his legacy carried on through both his cars and his children.
