Hennessey Performance has prepared a 1,000 hp pick-up based on the RAM TRX. The colossus is named after the woolly ancestor of the elephant and is called Mammoth 1000 SUV in full.
The American Hennessey Performance has a thing for extinct animals. It named, among other things, heavily modified Fords F-150 Raptor and Bronco after the Velociraptor, an always bad-tempered extinct reptile, if we are to believe the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films. For the naming of modified versions of the Ram TRX, Hennessey Performance draws its inspiration from a more recent era. This is the Mammoth 1000 SUV, an SUV converted version of Ram’s sportiest pick-up.
That already potent pick-up from Ram is the TRX, a version of the Ram 1500 with the 6.2 Hellcat-V8 in its nose that is in principle already good for 711 hp. At the beginning of this year, the Ram TRX was already converted by Hennessey Performance into Mammoth 1000, a variant with 1,026 hp and 1,314 Nm, thanks to a huge supercharger and a modified exhaust system. That Mammoth 1000 now has a closed part behind the cabin and has suddenly become an SUV-like. Its name: Mammoth 1000 SUV. According to Hennessey, the monster is able to thunder to 60 mph (97 km / h) in 3.2 counts. The American has been given an extra row of seats, complete with an extra side window so that you also get something of the outside world, which will undoubtedly whiz past you in a rotten motion.
Like its pickup brother, the Mammoth 1000 SUV has modified all-round bumper work and a lift kit raises its feet to make way for 20-inch alloy with 35-inch off-road rubber wrapped around. Hennessey Performance will build 20 copies. The starting price is converted € 311,000.
