Supercars or Supertrucks. Hennessey does both.

The Texas Bigfoot

The theory goes like this; if you can build a car to chase 300mph, as Hennessey has done with cars like the Venom F5, it should be easy to shoehorn bits and pieces of that powertrain into a truck, right? And who wouldn’t want to have the most powerful truck on sale?

Hennessey is a bit of a cowboy brand; something of a loud-mouthed VIP in the Guinness World Record Hall of Fame… if you’re looking for subtle, vehicles like the infamous 6x6 VelociRaptor are probably not top of your list. Hennessey is unique in that their business works day and night shifts between getting revenge on Bugatti’s Chiron for its 300mph record run and building these insane trucks with similar brute force.

Based in Texas, you immediately get the type of ‘go big, or go home attitude’ that flows through the workshop and the Mammoth 1000 TRX truck claims to be the world’s fastest production truck. They claim so for now because production has just begun.
