Hennessey Upgrades for McLaren MP4-12C
Over the course of 2011 I spent a few months working in the UK. This was due to our Venom GT program as many of our initial suppliers were based there.
During that time I got to spend some time around the 12C. I also got a chance to spend some time with some of the engineers and suppliers for this incredible car. Thus, I am happy to announce that Hennessey Performance will be offering a full compliment of performance upgrades for the 12C. While we have not taken delivery of our development car as of yet, we have been working on our upgrades for the past several months. I am happy to report that we already have the ability to tune the 3.8L V8 TT. I will follow-up with more details about our offerings soon.
For now, here are a few pics that I was able to get while we were at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last summer. We had our Venom GT there running with the 12C and the new factory race car. I also got a chance to meet Lewis Hamilton, who is a super nice guy.

Can a Hennessey modded McLaren beat a Lotus through the canyons? 
Just kidding. Thanks for sharing John. Interested to see what you will do with them. And the MP4 that Lewis is in looks awesome!!

Actually, if John can actually tune the car that says a lot to me. I assume this means he can pull of the code, map it, revise it, and then load it back into the factory computer. Hard to know how given that they dont have a car yet but hey....I love modding and it is great that the aftermarket is frothing to tune it

Can't wait to see what you come up with. On a side note, your pics reminded me of this.
