'We wanted to create the ultimate Jeep Gladiator,' said company founder and chief horsepower evangelist, John Hennessey. 'MAXIMUS 1000 – the name says exactly what it is: Badassery on 4-wheels. We are excited to unveil our first production MAXIMUS with the Shell Pennzoil team at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.'
