There really is no such thing as too much power,
even for big trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado. This is the 2018 Yenko/SC
Supercharged Silverado, created by Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE) as a nod
to the legendary Yenko Camaros and Corvettes.
Offered only with the lighter version of Chevy’s
truck, the 2018 Standard Cab Short Bed model, the Yenco/SC Silverado comes with
a flat black hood insert, cowl stripes and hood graphics as well as 22-inch
gunmetal alloy wheels.
Under the bonnet lies a supercharged 6.8-liter V8
that produces really insane numbers: 800 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque to be exact.
The modified LT-1 engine features a blueprinted aluminum block, forged steel
crankshaft, forged steel beam rods, forged aluminum pistons, CNC-ported
cylinder heads and SVE’s custom supercharger.
To harness all this power, SVE has also added their
own progressive-rate front springs that are lower by 2 inches and a rear 5-inch
lowering package upgrade. A beefy custom front swaybar with a 1.5-inch diameter
is also fitted and a set of 16.1-inch vented rotors with six-piston Brembo
calipers replace the factory front brakes.
The cabin can be dressed in leather as an option in
six colors, plus a more classic combo consisting of partial leather with
houndstooth cloth as well as matching stitching and a numbered plaque. SVE will
only build 25 of these super-trucks and will charge you US$ 46,995 for the base
version of the Yenko S/C Silverado, which also comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile
limited warranty.
