Sealy, Texas (September 10, 2025) – Hennessey (Hennessey Performance ‘HPE’ & Hennessey Special Vehicles ‘HSV’), the Texas-based manufacturer of the Venom F5 hypercar and builder of some of the fastest street-vehicles, trucks and SUVs is growing – Texas style.
The $15+ million investment will more than double the size of the facility to over 100,000 square feet, enabling the company to dramatically increase its vehicle production output over the next two years while maintaining its signature craftsmanship, quality, and performance. Construction has already begun, with vehicle production in the new facility expected to begin in Spring 2026. The new advanced manufacturing facility will allow the company to bring composite manufacturing and vehicle painting in-house.
John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: “We are excited to have such strong demand for our specially built vehicles. Our expanding network of Ford, Ram and Chevrolet / GMC dealers allow our customers to walk into dealerships and buy our Venom 800 or VelociRaptor 1000 trucks, fully warrantied, right off the showroom floor.”
Hennessey is based on a 143-acre campus, located on Interstate 10 just west of Houston, Texas. The production facility expansion will also see enhancements to the company’s Tuner School business. Hennessey’s trade-school trains technicians to modify vehicles through theoretical and practical courses. The school will have its own 10,000 square foot stand-alone building as part of the expansion.
Sales growth
In 2024, HPE built and delivered over 560 trucks, SUV’s and muscle cars to enthusiasts and dealers around the USA. HPE will build more than 900 units in 2025 and is expected to deliver over 1,300 vehicles in 2026.
John Hennessey: “It doesn’t seem long ago that I was racing up Pike’s Peak and setting a speed record at Bonneville in the infancy of starting the business. I’ve been extremely blessed to turn my dream of racing and creating fast, fun vehicles from a hobby into a business with over 125 employees and more than 18,000 customers around the world. This investment in additional manufacturing space will allow us to meet the growing demand for Hennessey vehicles from dealers and customers across the country and around the world.”
Hennessey vehicles are dyno-tested, road-tested, and backed by a 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty. Vehicles are available directly from Hennessey or through its authorized dealer network.
