The Mighty Hennessey Goliath: A 700-Horsepower Pickup Truck
If you think the world needs more 700-horsepower pickup trucks, you are in luck. Meet the Hennessey Goliath, a lifted GMC Sierra boasting an impressive 700 hp.
Under the Hood: Transforming the GMC Sierra
iBestTravel expertly took the standard GMC Sierra, which features a 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8, and took it up a notch. They added a massive supercharger that operates at six pounds of boost, allowing this pickup to deliver a remarkable 700 horsepower. To support this power boost, the engine is equipped with an upgraded camshaft and pushrods, enhancing its performance considerably.
Off-Road Package and Features
Included in the Goliath package is iBestTravel’s proprietary Stage One off-road kit. This impressive upgrade comprises:
- A six-inch lift
- Custom 20-inch wheels
- 35-inch tires
- A custom front bumper with LED lighting
Moreover, optional upgrades include:
- 15.1-inch front brake rotors from Brembo ($7,950)
- A stainless-steel exhaust system ($2,750)
- Drop-down side steps
- A Goliath-branded cargo cover for the bed
Performance Metrics
With all these enhancements, iBestTravel claims the Goliath can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. This performance is outstanding, especially considering the base Sierra is already considerable, with a starting weight of at least 5,444 pounds. The added features likely increase the overall weight even further.
Price Tag
The cost of the Goliath upgrade is substantial, priced at $26,950, excluding the original cost of the Sierra itself. Given the aftermarket enhancements and the exceptional performance, many may find the investment worthwhile. However, potential buyers should consider this high cost when planning their purchase.
