The latest Hennessey Performance car is a limited edition, supercharged, remake of the 'Jeep Gladiator.' The car is titled the 'Maxiumus 1000 Gladiator' and Hennessey Performance will only be making 24 versions of the car, each one taking four months to build. The car has a $200,000 USD price point, which includes the price of the original Jeep used to make the custom car. The 'Hennessy Maximus 100' is currently available for order
The Hennessey Performance car is powered by a Hellcat supercharged V8 engine. The car is six inches higher than its original 'Jeep Gladiator' counterpart, this is due to the fact that the suspension system had to be upgraded so the car could handle the more powerful engine. In addition to performance changes, the company also made aesthetic changes to the vehicle, including matte black 20-inch rims, new bumpers, off-road tires, LED lights and a reworked interior.
