Hennessey VelociRaptor 6X6
It's that more wheels are better, and although other car
manufacturers have yet to come up with something similar, nothing has stopped
aftermarket specialists from creating such beasts.
Project Kahn’s 6x6 Flying Huntsman is just one
example, with the latest coming from Texan tuner Hennessey Performance. The
company leaked a couple of CGI images depicting the VelociRaptor 6X6 “concept”
– a vehicle based on the brand-new Ford F-150 Raptor that takes the already
off-road conquering, Baja-inspired machine to the next level.
According to Top Gear, the car comes with upgraded
Baja-spec Fox suspension, new 20-inch wheels wrapped in chunky, off-road tires,
redesigned front and rear bumpers, as well as numerous LED lights and a new
rollbar.
The VelociRaptor 6X6 will be powered by the same
3.5-litre EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 that pumps out 450 hp and 691 Nm of torque under the F-150 Raptor’s hood, but unsurprisingly Hennessey can also
upgrade the car to 600 hp.
This machine will reportedly cost US$ 292,661, with the
donor car included, making it way cheaper than Merc’s G63 AMG 6x6. Still, we’ll
know more details once Hennessey will make it official.
