Can John Hennessey Succeed Where Lexus Fell Short On The IS-F?


Although Hennessey Performance Engineering may be best known for its extreme Vipers, owner John Hennessey and his crew haven't limited their scope to Detroit iron, tuning Fords, BMWs, even Bugattis.

Now the Texas tuner is expanding its sights once again, and Lexus may be in the crosshairs.

In an interview with Inside Line, John Hennessey dropped some broad hints as to his next project: "We have a new IS-F coming in next week. Our plan with that car is to test some headers, exhaust and air induction items first. Then maybe a blower."
