Texas tuner launches huge, powerful highly-modified Ram TRX truck with equally imposing price
US tuner and hypercar-maker Hennessey Performance Engineering has launched a wild new pick-up truck that features six-wheel drive and generates an incredible 755kW from its 6.2-litre supercharged V8. The truck, dubbed the Hennessey Mammoth 6×6, originally started life as a Ram 1500 TRX before the Texas based firm stretched the rear bed by more than 1200mm and added a third axle.
That means the modified Ram truck measures in at an enormous 7190mm long, 2133mm tall and 2235mm wide.
Now featuring six 20-inch rims wrapped in huge 37-inch all-terrain tyres, under the bonnet the already mighty 6.2-litre supercharged V8 is uprated with a new bigger higher-flow supercharger, new injectors, a revised inductions system and a fresh engine map to produce not only 755kW but a herculean torque peak of 1314Nm. Helping to improve its on-road driving manners, Hennessey says it has fitted the Mammoth with a Bilstein-developed suspension that’s suited for fast on- and off-road driving.
Other modifications include new front and rear bumpers, extra LED driving lamps and an upgraded more luxurious cabin. Joining the existing six-wheel VelociRaptor 6×6 and Goliath 6×6 Silverado, the latest Mammoth 6×6 has been priced in the US from $449,950 ($A610,000). Hennessey says it will make just 12 of its highly modified Ram trucks a year. Commenting on the new Hennessey Mammoth, John Hennessey, founder and CEO, said: “Everything we do at Hennessey Performance is turned up to 11, but the Mammoth 1000 6×6 is definitely turned up to 12.
“Everything on the Mammoth 6×6 is bigger, badder and more imposing – plus, it’s still super-fast, while being a total powerhouse off road. It’s the undisputed king of the road.”
