Kerlin Motor Company x Hennessey Performance: Built for People Who Don’t Do “Stock”

Kerlin Motor Company is an Authorized Hennessey dealer in Indiana with secured 2026 model year allocations across Hennessey’s most in-demand Ford-based builds. Here’s what Hennessey does, what makes Kerlin different, and why ordering through Kerlin is the cleanest path to owning a Hennessey.

Quick highlight:      We’ve secured a 2026 run that spans the lineup—from VelociRaptoR 1000 builds to Venom F-150s to the Super Venom Mustang, meaning real inbound units and a straightforward ordering process through a dealer that’s been serving Indiana drivers for generations.    

What Makes Hennessey Performance Special?

Hennessey is a Texas-based performance engineering and special-vehicle builder known for taking already capable vehicles and turning them into something that feels unfair to physics. Since launching in 1991, Hennessey has modified 15,000+ vehicles, and their modern builds commonly include comprehensive engineering, validation testing, and a 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty on applicable packages.

The headline is power, but the real value is how they deliver it: components, calibration, supporting systems, repeatable testing, and  a finished product that’s meant to be driven, not just posted.    

What Makes Kerlin Motor Company Special?

Kerlin Motor Company has built its reputation the old-fashioned way: by doing the right thing when nobody’s watching.      We’re a long-standing Indiana Ford dealer with a deep bench in specialty and performance vehicles, because customers who care about capability     tend to care about trust, too.    

Legacy + accountability A dealership brand is only as strong as what happens after the handshake. Kerlin’s reputation is built on consistent follow-through.
Performance DNA We’re not “trying performance this year.” It’s part of what we do—special builds, enthusiast customers, and the details that matter.
Indiana-based support Local communication, local financing options, and a team that knows how specialty ordering works from start to finish.

Why Buying a Hennessey Through Kerlin Makes Sense

Buying a specialty vehicle should feel exciting—not confusing. Ordering through an authorized dealer gives you a cleaner, more transparent path than hunting for a unicorn on the internet.

  • Credible ordering pathway: A defined process for specs, timelines, and documentation.
  • Better alignment on build intent: We help you spec the right package for how you actually drive (daily, towing, off-road, track).
  • Financing + trade structure: Work with a dealership team that can structure the full deal, not just the performance package.
  • Long-term relationship: The purchase is one moment. Ownership is years. We plan for the years.

Incoming Spotlight: What’s in the 2026 Pipeline

These are the builds enthusiasts ask about first—and for good reason. Below is a quick overview of three headline packages and what they’re designed to do. Availability and final specs can vary by build and model year, so our team will confirm details during ordering.

VelociRaptoR 1000 (Ford F-150 Raptor R-based)

The VelociRaptoR 1000 is the “super truck” solution for drivers who want trophy-truck attitude with engineered execution. Hennessey’s published figures highlight a 1,043 horsepower build and supercar-level acceleration, backed by their warranty on applicable packages.

Hennessey’s announcement calls out 850 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, plus their VenomAero enhancements, with production limited to commemorate Hennessey’s founding year.
