Tuning Maker Hennessy Annual Event
Car tuning maker Hennessy (Hennessey) However, it seems that there is something that is done annually at this time, and that is "how fast a car with a Christmas tree on the roof can run".
It seems that various cars are challenging this record every year, but the car selected for this Christmas is the Porsche 911 Turbo S!
Even for Porsche, it is customary to witness "carrying a Christmas tree with Porsche 911" at this time, so it is a little interesting to have Hennessy challenge the fastest record with a Christmas tree in this way. Maybe there is ^^?
What's more, the Porsche 911 Turbo S used in this challenge is a privately owned car of Mr. John Hennessy, the founder and CEO of Hennessy.
That is where Hennessy wants to set the fastest record.
Since Hennessy is a tuning maker, the Porsche 911 Turbo S owned by Mr. Hennessy used this time is also tuned by Hennessy, and its power is 750 horsepower. What is that (laughs).
The Christmas tree is firmly fixed on the Turbo S, and it is challenged to record its maximum speed. At this time, the Christmas tree is fixed so that the top side of the tree faces the rear in order to reduce resistance as much as possible.
Racing driver Spencer Geswein drove the car in this challenge.
With the Christmas tree on the roof, the top speed reached 281 km / h. amazing.
And when I lowered the Christmas tree and ran only with the turbo S, the maximum speed reached 361 km / h. The driver said, "It's completely different with and without a tree," but I think that's probably the case (laughs).
As you can see from the video of this challenge, you can see that the adults are playing with all their might. It's great to play seriously, and it's fun to see that kind of figure ^^
Even so, Porsche running with a Christmas tree that is uselessly too cool ^ ^ ↓
By the way, unfortunately this year's Porsche 911 Turbo S did not seem to be the fastest car to run with a Christmas tree. The fastest record so far is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Truck Hawk at 291 km / h.
Of course, this jeep is also tuned by Hennessy, so its power is 1,000 horsepower. Even though it is an SUV, its speed is also amazing (with a tree).
Here is a video of this year's challenge with the Porsche 911 Turbo S. It's fun to see everyone playing seriously (3:37 video) ^^ ↓

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
