Hennessey VelociRaptor 500

[Cashezo]

Hennessey has worked its magic on the new Ford F150 Raptor and as you'd expect, the primary addition to FoMoCo's Dakar-ready pickup is... power. Meet the Hennessey VelociRaptor.

With the knowledge that Ford's engineers know infinitely more about suspension tuning, Hennessey has focused the majority of its efforts under the hood, slapping a Whipple supercharger onto the Raptor's 5.4-liter V8 and ramping output to 501 horsepower (at 5,100 rpm) and 520 pound-feet of torque (at 3,200 rpm). Combined with the 9.1 pounds of boost, a K&N intake, upgraded fuel injectors, a stainless steel exhaust and headers, and then tuned with a reflashed ECU, the VelociRaptor's 0-60 time has been reduced from 8.4 to 5.6 seconds with the quarter mile dispatched in 14.1 seconds at 97 mph.

Hennessey plans to create 100 VelociRaptors each year, with the full kit coming in at $10,950 or the Hennessey-installed solution for $14,995, which includes a one-year warranty. Full stats and breakdown after the jump, along with a video of the VelociRaptor running the traps.

I saw about 10 or 12 of them sitting outside of their shop last week. I didn't know that's what they were building though.

I want to get Leo behind the wheel of one. That should tell us how tough they are and just how much these trucks can actually handle!

That's a pretty sad 1/4 mile number for something with THAT much power.

Still kinda cool though, I guess. I'll wait for the 6.2l.

I saw one over the weekend, a stock Raptor, it looks pretty cool. I think Leo's truck is already better than a Raptor though. Now a Hennessey Raptor

I agree but that is a quick 0-60 time


I want that now
