Hennessey’s New Engineering Boss Worked On The Mercedes-AMG One And Ford GT

Hennessey has appointed a new VP of Engineering, someone whose three decades of industry experience includes leading the development on highly respected hypercars like the Ford GT and Mercedes-AMG One. Brian Jones is that individual, the former Chief Engineer of Vehicle Development and Integration at Multimatic Special Vehicle Operations.

With such glittering credentials, Jones is well-positioned to lead future hypercar development for Hennessey, the maker of America’s very own hypercar, the Venom F5. Jones will take over vehicle and powertrain development, integration, testing, regulatory certification, and production launch. Reporting directly to founder and CEO John Hennessey, Jones will oversee all engineering and development for Hennessey Special Vehicles and Hennessey Performance Engineering.
