Super truck: Hennessey to roll out Ford F-150-based VelociRaptor 600

MANILA: US-based hypercar manufacturer Hennessey has begun the production of the new VelociRaptor 600. The truck, which is based on Ford F-150 Raptor, churns out a whopping 558bhp and 672lb-ft of torque.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many units of the Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 will be produced?

    Only 250 units of the 2022 VelociRaptor will be manufactured to ensure exclusivity.
  • What upgrades are included in the Hennessy VelociRaptor 600 Off-Road package?

    Some of the Off-Road upgrades include VelociRaptor front and rear bumpers, front LED light bar, 20-inch Hennessey wheels, 35-inch off-road tires, front suspension leveling kit, and three-inches overall lift.
  • In a head-to-head drag race at Hennessey’s test track, the VelociRaptor easily defeated the stock Raptor, thanks to is superior pulling power. The modified truck started faster and surged away under intense acceleration, finishing more than six truck lengths ahead of the stock model.

    The VelociRaptor’s extra power makes it quick off the line, but it is the additional 162lb-ft that truly makes the difference once it hits the road. Hennessey engineers increased the stock Raptor’s 510lb-ft of torque by a third, for a total of 672lb-ft of pulling power. The 4x4 pickup’s combined power and torque take it to 60mph in 4.2 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of 12.9 seconds.

    In a statement, Hennessey Founder and Chief Executive Officer John Hennessey said, “The VelociRaptor has been our most popular vehicle for years, so with production of the third-gen truck now under way, we’re anticipating building hundreds of models throughout 2022. The stock Raptor is a fabulously capable and very quick machine, so our customers love that we can enhance its power and performance to new levels.”

    To improve the performance of the stock Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, Hennessey engineers installed better air induction, a high-capacity intercooler with blow-off valve, and an improved engine-management system.

    Many customers choose to equip their VelociRaptor with 20-inch Hennessey wheels and VelociRaptor front and rear bumpers with integrated LED lights to make their vehicle more striking and durable. An Off-Road upgrade is also available, including a suspension leveling kit and up to 37-inch off-road tires. Customers can also choose to have enormous six-piston Brembo brakes installed to improve stopping power. All of these are covered by a comprehensive three-year/36,000-mile warranty.

    Hennessey is the largest producer of customized Ford F-150 Raptors in the world. Thousands of high-performance VelociRaptor units have been manufactured for customers all over the world in the last 10 years. Most owners opt for the performance upgrade as well as the improved off-road package (bumpers, wheels, and off-road tires), bringing the total cost to around US$115,000 in most cases (which includes the stock Ford F-150 Raptor). Only 250 units of the 2022 VelociRaptor will be manufactured to ensure exclusivity.

    The new Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 will be officially unveiled at the Barrett Jackson collectable car auction in Arizona on January 22.
