Hennessey’s VelociRaptor brings new F-150 past 600 hp

December 17, 2014
Hennessey Performance has promised to keep the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor spirit alive for the pickup’s latest generation.
The tuner has outfitted Ford’s aluminum-clad 2015 F-150 with a Roots-type supercharger, boasting “600+” horsepower. The 5.0-liter V8 is fed by 8 psi of boost, a high-flow air induction system and new fuel injectors, all managed via Hennessey’s engine-management calibration.

Keeping to the Raptor’s Baja theme , the VelociRaptor 600 features 33-inch tires on unique 17-inch wheels. Buyers can also add off-road coilover suspension, redesigned front and rear bumpers, a winch, LED light bars and Brembo brakes, among other upgrades.

“We are simply picking up where we left off with our 2015 VelociRaptor,” said John Hennessey. “Having Ford’s world-class new truck design, with a weight savings of nearly 700 pounds, our VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will have an even greater level of performance and driving excitement!”

The company will build just 500 examples of the VelociRaptor 600, with prices starting at $73,500. A VelociRaptor upgrade package will also be offered for the EcoBoost-powered F-150, though additional details remain unclear.
