Hennessey Mammoth 1000 TRX

THIS IS THE HENNESSEY MAMMOTH 1000 TRX. ‘Mammoth’ because, well, it’s a big hairy beast, ‘1000’ because it has 1000bhp and near-as-dammit 1000lb ft of torque, and ‘TRX’ (T-Rex, geddit?) because it’s based on Dodge’s hottest Hellcat-powered Ram TRX 1500 pickup.

As an evo reader, you’ll know the Hennessey name from more than three decades of tuning muscle cars and pickup trucks from its base in Sealy, Texas.
