- 2026 Yenko SC Silverado delivers 1,000 hp through a 6.2L supercharged V8.
- SVE adds a six-speed manual transmission and rear-drive setup for purists.
- Orders open now through Chevy dealers with pricing into six-figure territory.
Street trucks might be about to make a huge comeback. Ford kicked things off with the Lobo Maverick and Lobo F150. Then Ram and Fox got together to build a 650-horsepower lowered pickup. Now, Chevrolet and Specialty Vehicle Engineering have thrown down the gauntlet. And they didn’t come to play.

Not only does the Yenko SC Silverado throw down with a 1,000-horsepower V8, but believe it or not, it’s got a manual gearbox and sends everything to the rear wheels. Completely unhinged, and we love that someone signed off on it.
Tell Me More About It
SVE begins with a 6.2-liter aluminum V8 and turns it into something unhinged. A forged 1538MV crankshaft, forged steel rods, forged pistons, upgraded cylinder heads, a high-output supercharger, and a Boost By Wire system make the resulting engine capable of reliable four-figure power.
Buyers can choose between a 91 or 93 octane calibration. A stainless steel dual catback exhaust finishes up the build with a shouty soundtrack. Six-piston Brembo front brakes add a layer of safety around 16.1-inch vented rotors. Still, the biggest flex here is the gearbox.
SVE installs a six-speed manual, which is something neither Ford nor Ram offers in any form. The chassis also gets a full makeover with a two-inch drop in the front and a five-inch drop in the rear. Fox performance shocks help the truck put down power and corner flatly.

From a styling perspective, SVE basically breaks out the greatest hits package from classic Yenko vehicles. Bold side stripes in colors like Gloss Black, Hugger Orange, and Silver are available. A cowl hood wears a 1,000 HP badge proudly. Lightweight 22-inch wheels are available in multiple finishes and all come wrapped with Nitto tires.
The badges, both touting SVE and Yenko SC, make it very clear that this isn’t your average Silverado. Of course, the sound, stance, and stick shift will help with that, too.
What’s It Going to Cost Me?
For now, interested buyers can actually order this truck via their Chevrolet dealer or through SVE directly. Units will come with a full three-year, 36,000-mile warranty on the engine and supercharger.
As for the cost, well, brace yourself. SVE starts with a bare-bones 2026 Silverado W/T, a 2WD Regular (Short) Cab with a Regular/Standard bed priced at $36,950, then piles on the YENKO/SC package for another $89,995.
Add it all up and you’re looking at about $127,000 for a truck built less for practicality and more for humiliating thoroughbred sports cars and your savings account in one go.
