John Hennessey Is Back! With The World’s Fastest Christmas Tree Speedrun

Did you know - the first decorated Christmas tree was in Riga, Latvia in 1510. Since then, the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree has continued. But in 2017, John Hennessey decided to take the Christmas spirit - a high-octane petrol way.

For the regulars, John Hennessey is the man behind Hennessey Performance Engineering, an American tuning house specialising in modifying sports and supercars.

So what can we expect from a crazy power nut like John Hennessey? Watch now to witness the World's Fastest Christmas Tree - a three-metre fir tree - hitting 278km/h in Hennessey's way.

The car in question is a red, Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody, powered by a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 that generates around 700-horsepower. Enough of the mumbo-jumbo, time to watch the video and don't miss the celebratory burnout. Happy Holidays and !i!Merry Christmas!i!
