AddArmor has worked on a project: a Ford F-150 Raptor-based Hennessey VelociRaptor. To create this special VelociRaptor, AddArmor uses a material known as Dyneema that is said to be 15 times stronger than steel and 40 per cent stronger than Kevlar. This material can withstand rounds from an AK-47, as well as improvised explosive devices, and will ensure that the owner and passengers are always protected.
It’s not just the armor plating that makes
this pickup unique. AddArmor has also equipped the truck with a special
security package that adds electric-shock door handles, a counter-attack sound
system, concealed front and rear bumpers, a dual battery system, an intercom
system, siren and stone lights, and even bomb scanning capabilities. The
VelociRaptor is also rocking a set of run-flat tires that are rated for speeds
of up to 80 km/h. Elsewhere, AddAmor has fitted a set of beefed-up
Brembo brakes and a front suspension leveling kit.
As this is a Hennessey VelociRaptor as
opposed to a standard F-150 Raptor, it had undergone a host of modifications
before AddArmor got its hands on it. Most notably, the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged
EcoBoost V6 engine has been upgraded to 600 hp, allowing it to hit 96
km/h in just 4.2 seconds.
AddArmor can handle a host of different
requests from customers. Security packages like the one featured on this pickup
typically cost around US$ 30,000.
