Growing bigger without becoming complacent is very hard in the aftermarket. By adopting the same quality controls as the big automakers, we can wittness a new Hennessey Maximus 1000 final shakedown runs. Each employee is taught the function of each component along with what any possible fault in its appearance.

Alex invites three technicians to listen for rattles and experience the abilities of the latest 1,000 horsepower Jeep. Their supercharger moves 1/3rd more air than the standard Hellcat Hemi, so the transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, and axles must be bulletproof. Launching from a dig we get a view of the pavement as the squat allows for consistent grip while still allowing flexibility in the woods. Due to the complexity in this conversion, they only built two-dozen of the specialized chassis parts. Several have been delivered and more are in-process, so order yours before Maximus is relegated to the history books.

Perfection can’t be rushed, and it is no small task for an aftermarket business to evolve into an automaker. While the first generation Venom relied on Lotus for the chassis, the upcoming Venom F5 is all American. With a carbon fiber chassis and 1,817 horsepower, this car will be going for 300 mph. John Hennessey realized the limits of every production V8 engine through testing Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet examples to destruction. That is why the Venom F5 uses a block and heads of their own design. Using the Corvette’s LT1 as inspiration, every aspect was scaled up by an order of magnitude. Working late into the weekend, they uploaded the first combination of engine and chassis. A teaser of the rear diffuser was uploaded on Saturday, so we should see the first car in action very soon.
