However, the ICE-powered American beast dominated all three straight-line races. The final one was the best for the modified Ram, leaving the inventory Cybertruck behind by a big margin. Apart from the acceleration, there may be additionally a big distinction within the sound expertise between the 2, with the gas-guzzling TRX being noticeably louder and extra satisfying.

Beneath the hood of the Ram 1500 TRX “Mammoth” lies a modified model of the 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 fitted with Hennessey’s high-flow 2.65-liter supercharger, bigger gas injectors, a high-flow induction system, and particular calibration.
