Learn about Hennessey Performance Engineering in Forza Motorsport. Discover their history, the cars they've tuned, and their place in the Forza series.
Alright, let's talk about Hennessey. You'll find this American tuning house has a pretty cool history rooted in a passion for speed, dating back to 1991 when John Hennessey started modifying his own cars for events like the Nevada Open-Road races and even hitting 174 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Originally, they focused on imports, but a request to tune a Dodge Viper really put them on the map, leading to some seriously fast machines that even caught the eye of folks like Jay Leno. They've since gone on to work their magic on cars like the Ford GT, Cadillac CTS-V, Chevy Camaro, and of course, their own Hennessey Venom GT and Venom F5.
Hennessey Performance Engineering is all about pushing the limits of performance, and they've brought that philosophy to the Forza world. You'll find them featured in games like Forza Motorsport 4 (starting with the May Top Gear Car Pack) and all the main series titles since, plus Forza Motorsport 6: Apex. They're even slated for
Forza Horizon 6!
Their headquarters are in Houston, Texas, and they've got a massive 143-acre facility that includes the Lonestar Motorsports Park, complete with a quarter-mile drag strip and a 1.4-mile circuit. Talk about a playground for speed!
