<\/strong>\u2013 John Hennessey, Founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hennesseyperformance.com\">Hennessey<\/a> \u2013 the Texas-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hennesseyspecialvehicles.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">hypercar<\/a> manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator \u2013 has been named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Houston Entrepreneur\u2019s Organization.<\/p><p>In 2016, Hennessey\u2019s company \u2013 known for \u2018making fast cars faster\u2019, had 16 employees with $6 million in revenue. By 2023, the Hennessey organization had around 100 employees, and generated $63 million in total sales \u2013 a compounded annual growth rate of 40 percent over the past seven years.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are a 33-year overnight success story,\u201d said company Founder &amp; CEO, John Hennessey. \u201cI\u2019m an engineering school drop-out and never took a business class when I was in school. But I\u2019ve always enjoyed being creative, taking some risks, and trying things that others may not.<\/p><p>\u201cMy parents encouraged me to find ways to make money when I was young as our family didn\u2019t have money for going out to eat, or having fun. To me, being an entrepreneur is just a fancy way of saying that I was forced to figure stuff out and make money when I was young. When I was able to combine my passions for creating, selling, and making money with my passion for cars and racing, that\u2019s how our business began in 1991.\u201d<\/p><p>The company was founded 33 years ago after John indulged his passion for motorsport, learning the first rule of car racing: \u201cIf you want to make a small fortune in racing, you start with a larger fortune!\u201d After modifying his 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and competing at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Bonneville Salt Flats (setting the record for F-P\/S class), Nevada Open Road Challenge (4<sup>th<\/sup> overall with an avg. speed of 164 mph, over 90 miles), and winning the Unlimited Class at the Silver State Classic (2<sup>nd<\/sup> overall with an avg. speed of 167 mph, over 90 miles), Hennessey was hooked on racing, but at a cost.<\/p><p>\u201c1991 was a crazy year \u2013 I was engaged, got married, bought a house, paid for a honeymoon, and took part in all these races,\u201d John said. \u201cWhen we got home from the honeymoon, I looked at my bank balance and thought that that I needed to find a way to make a business out of my passion if I wanted to continue racing. Thus began Hennessey Motorsports.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cFor the first 25 years of the business, we were raising a family, having fun racing, and building fast cars for customers around the world. I found that I could design and build great cars that the media loved to test and write about,\u201d said Hennessey. The company\u2019s vehicles have been featured in every major automotive publication including gracing the covers of <em>Top Gear, Motor Trend, Road &amp; Track, and Car &amp; Driver<\/em>.<\/p><p>\u201cWe would get calls from the media looking to test our cars \u2013 I didn\u2019t realize it at the time, but we were building a brand. The Hennessey name had become well known among car enthusiasts in our first 5-10 years helped by our Venom Vipers setting speed records back in the 90\u2019s and 2000\u2019s. Then, when YouTube and social media came along, we were able to appeal to a much wider audience.\u201d<\/p><p>Today, Hennessey reaches a broad audience of car enthusiasts aged from eight to 80+ years old, with more than three million Instagram followers (more than the Houston Texans American football team!) and their high-performance YouTube videos receive millions of views per month.<\/p><p>Hennessey\u2019s companies have all leveraged the company\u2019s strong brand name to deliver more than 16,000 vehicles to clients around the globe. Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) modifies and sells cars, trucks &amp; SUV\u2019s; Hennessey Special Vehicles (HSV) designs, engineers, and manufactures the Venom F5 hypercar; Tuner School is the world\u2019s only trade school dedicated to training automotive modifications. Some notable Hennessey clients include: Jay Leno, Michael Jordan, Steven Tyler, Kid Rock, Tim Duncan, Alan Jackson, Adam Levine, and Indy 500 winner, Josef Newgarden.<\/p><p>\u201cWe spent the first 25 years figuring out how to build a great brand and team,\u201d said Hennessey. \u201cThe incredible growth that we\u2019ve had over the past eight years is because of our passionate, skilled, and dedicated team of professionals, including our six grown children who all now work in the business. Being able to work with my family and build something amazing is one of my greatest joys and blessings in life.\u201d<\/p><p>To find out more about each of the businesses in the Hennessey Group \u2013 visit the respective brand websites \u2013\u00a0 Hennessey Performance (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hennesseyperformance.com\/\">HennesseyPerformance.com<\/a>); Hennessey Special Vehicles (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hennesseyspecialvehicles.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">HennesseySpecialVehicles.com<\/a>); Tuner School (<a href=\"https:\/\/tunerschool.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">TunerSchool.com<\/a>).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-662ed20 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"662ed20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0f8d1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f0f8d1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Media Contact:<br \/><\/strong>press@hennesseyperformance.com<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc3cea5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc3cea5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>About Hennessey<\/strong><\/p><p>Based in Sealy, Texas, the Hennessey business comprises Hennessey Special Vehicles, Hennessey Performance (HPE), Tuner School, and the Lonestar Motorsports Park.
