$200,000 Jeep Gladiator Maximus Shows Off Its 1,000 HP In Video

Texas is the place where everything is bigger and more efficient.

Hennessey is well-known for many things, but the tuner has a reputation for creating aftermarket products that are full of power. The Texas tuner is known for making aftermarket creations that are more powerful than the Ford Raptor and McLarens. The company has apparently been reported to be acquiring the Porsche Taycan as well as the 2020 Shelby GT500, because why not?

Hennessey’s latest SEMA-bound creation, a supercharged and spruced-up version of the Jeep Gladiator is now available. It could be called the Gladiator Maximus, which is a better name.
The Gladiator Maximus’ aesthetic modifications are subtle, with the exception of the Hennessey decals that shout and the Maximus-named bumper. The most fascinating modification lies under the pickup truck’s hood.

The Gladiator Maximus’ supercharged, 6.2-liter Hemi V8 produces 1,000 horsepower (745 kilowatts). This Hellcat engine was rebuilt using the HPE1000 engine upgrade by the company. Oh, and torque has been increased from 933 pound-feet to 1,264 Newton-meters.

Hennessey is a bit too busy lately:

The Gladiator Maximus is not cheap. The Gladiator Maximus will come with all the extras, including the interior re-trimmed, at a cost of $200,000. There will only be 24 examples of the tuned Gladiator, so get in touch with Hennessey immediately if you are interested.
