Hennessey celebrates the holidays the way it knows how: by driving fast.
There seems to be no limit to Hennessey’s quest for the ultimate automotive performance, with even some of the most celebrated performance cars, like the Ford Mustang GT500 reaching the next level with the Texas-based manufacturer’s upgrades. One of the most potent resulting vehicles is the Hennessey Venom 1000 Mustang GT500, fitted with a 2.65-liter supercharger and lots of accompanying upgrades to come up to 1,000 horsepower and 850 lb/ft of torque. In this very special season, the incredible car got to take part in a high-octane Hennessey holiday tradition: the annual “Christmas Tree Run.”

With a lit Frasier Fir tree strapped to the roof, the Hennessey Venom 1000 Mustang, finished in a rare and holiday-appropriate Eruption Green paintwork took to the Continental Tire Proving Grounds in Texas and went all-out, eventually reaching 192 mph, a record for the Christmas Tree Run. Previous runs include the 2017 run of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody reaching 174 mph, a 2019 run of an HPE1000 Jeep Trackhawk hitting 181 mph, and a 183-mph run done last year in an Audi RS 6 Avant, that happened to be owned by John Hennessey’s wife. Watch as Hennessey celebrates the holidays with its incredible performance know-how, and enjoy the season.
