vehicles following the success the Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6 and the latest is
Hennessey Performance which has released details about their upcoming Goliath

Goliath 6×6 is a six-wheeled pickup which is based on the 2019 Chevrolet
Silverado Trail Boss. Besides the additional rear axle, the truck has been
equipped with a custom bed, an eight inch (203 mm) lift kit and 20-inch wheels
which are wrapped in 37-inch BFG off-road tires. Other upgrades include a roll
bar and LED auxiliary lights. The model also has custom bumpers and plenty of
Hennessey badging.
Besides the styling changes, the truck has a
6.2-liter V8 engine that has been equipped with a 2.9-liter supercharger and a
new stainless steel exhaust system. Hennessey says these additions will enable
the mill to produce 705 hp and 914 Nm torque – an
increase of 285 hp and 395 Nm. Thanks to the
extra power, the company believes the model will be able to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in the “mid 4 second range.”
If that’s not fast enough, the company also said
there will be an option for a “stroker motor upgrade.” Hennessey didn’t
elaborate, but the engine will have 808 hp. Production will
be limited to 24 units and pricing starts at US$ 375,000.
Hennessey also plans to offer an assortment of different options including a
Brembo braking system and a “custom interior upgrade.”
