Hennessey’s Newest Velociraptor F150 Hits the Power Switch, with up to 700 Horses

American tuner Hennessey Performance has revised its super powerful VelociRaptor, based on the new Ford F150 Raptor, which is already a souped-up version of the American brand’s iconic truck model.

Beginning with the second generation Raptor’s 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, which produces 450 horsepower, Hennessey will be cranking out 500-, 600-, and 700-horsepower versions of the F150.

Hennessey gets the extra juice to Velocisize a Raptor by adding a high-flow air-induction setup, Stage 1 or Stage 2 Twin-Turbo upgrade, a larger intercooler, a remapped ECU, and a host of other changes depending on the horsepower desired.

Getting your hands on the 600-plus-hp VelociRaptor costs an extra $22,500 on top of the cost of the regular 500-hp version, with the 700-hp edition costing an additional $49,500.

Hennessey will also offer two off-road packages for the VelociRaptor. The first option features a new front and rear bumper, custom LED lights, a three-inch lift kit, and 20-inch Hennessey wheels with 35-inch Toyo off-road tires; that’s for an extra $12,950. The second option makes everything bigger, beefier and brighter, and adds $22,950 to the base.

The VelociRaptor will be limited to 100 examples overall.
