SEALY, Texas, March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hennessey has revealed the new ‘GOLIATH 700 ZR2’, a 700-horsepower supercharged upgrade to the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 with 611 lb-ft of torque and mountains of off-road capability enhancements. The Texas-based creator of high-performance cars, trucks, and SUVs reengineers and supercharges the flagship 6.2-liter V8-powered Silverado ZR2 – resulting in 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, a giant leap beyond the 5.6-seconds of the stock truck.
A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.
The Hennessey GOLIATH 700 ZR2 features a twin-screw supercharger with air-to-water intercooling and Hennessey engine management calibration. Upgrades to the 6.2-liter V8 powertrain boost output by 66% – 700 bhp at 5,500 rpm vs stock 420 bhp – while torque climbs to 611 lb-ft at 4,200 rpm (stock 460 lb-ft).
Capability is also enhanced with extensive chassis and suspension enhancements, including a BDS suspension upgrade and integrated Multimatic DSSV shocks, improving control, stability, and driver confidence both on pavement and off the beaten path. The truck is visually differentiated with unique Hennessey carbon fiber bodywork enhancements and badging.
Alex Roys, President of Hennessey: “The Hennessey GOLIATH 700 ZR2 is designed for customers who want extreme power and capability without compromising on usability and comfort. We deliver performance dominance and heaps of presence by combining powertrain and chassis upgrades with comprehensive exterior and interior styling enhancements. We’ve created a truck with purpose that feels just as confident on the highway as it does tackling challenging terrain.”
Visually, the GOLIATH 700 ZR2 is distinguished by a series of carbon fiber enhancements, most notably, the Hennessey team replaces the factory ZR2 hood applique with a functional carbon fiber hood vent that enhances airflow and improves engine-bay cooling. Hennessey Goliath steel front and rear bumpers, 20-inch Hennessey off-road wheels, 35-inch off-road tires, and integrated LED lighting further reinforce the truck’s aggressive stance and purpose-built capability.
Hennessey’s newest creation delivers the style, presence, and muscle that finally gives Chevrolet buyers a factory-backed alternative to the Ford Raptor R and Ram TRX. With 700 supercharged horsepower, bold carbon fiber detailing, and genuine off-road hardware, it delivers the performance and attitude Silverado owners have been waiting for.
Priced at $139,950 MSRP and available now through Hennessey-authorized Chevrolet dealers, each of the 100-unit limited run GOLIATH 700 ZR2 trucks is backed by a three-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty.
