Texas-based company Hennessey Performance Engineering has launched a super-powerful pick-up with 1,012 hp, the Hennessey MAMMOTH 1000 TRX. It is a vehicle based on the Dodge Ram 1500 TRX.
The MAMMOTH 1000 TRX is powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine with 1,012 hp and 969 lb-ft of torque, which is 310 hp more than the Dodge Ram 1500 TRX. Thanks to the higher-flow compressor, the MAMMOTH 1000 to 62 mph comes in just 3.2 seconds making it the fastest pick-up in the world.
The company’s CEO, John Hennessey, said: “The new MAMMOTH 1000 TRX is the most powerful pickup truck that Hennessey Performance has ever offered. The Ram TRX already boasts the highest horsepower of any vehicle manufacturer’s pickup, so our performance, styling and off-road enhancements make this the most formidable new truck you can buy. We’ve already sold more than 100 trucks, with each answering one big question – why have a 1,000-horsepower pickup truck? Because we can! ”
Only 200 copies of the MAMMOTH 1000 TRX will be produced, and each copy will have a special chassis plate with a build number. The vehicle has a capacity to carry six passengers and 1,043 kg (2,300 lbs) of cargo and comes with a 2 year / 24,000 mile warranty.
The price of the vehicle will be around $ 150,000, while Hennessey estimates that most customers will take the Stage2 package, which includes 37-inch tires, custom bumpers and a front leveling kit.
