Hennessey Performance has just
unveiled its range of upgrade packages for the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor including
the new Velociraptor 600.
All models are fitted with Ford’s twin-turbocharged EcoBoost
3.5-liter six-cylinder engine which typically produces 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of
torque. Hennessey can easily increase those figures by 30 hp and 30
lb-ft with a simply US$ 695 ECU tune.
For customers that want some extra grunt, a new
high-flow air intake that adds 8 hp can be ordered as can the Hennessey
Velocipator 500 package which as the name implies, increases power further to
500 hp. Starting at US$ 2,995, this package also includes a stainless steel
catback exhaust system, high-flow intake and air filter as well as a selection
of custom badges.
An off-road Stage 1 package is also offered for the
potent pickup truck and will set customers back US$ 9,995. It includes the
addition of special bumpers, 20-inch 10-spoke Hennessey wheels, 35-inch Toyo
tires, a front suspension levelling kit and a 3-inch lift.
For those that want the ultimate in performance, the
Velociraptor 600 Twin Turbo results in 605 hp at 6,000 rpm and 622 lb-ft of
torque at 4,000 rpm, allowing the vehicle to hit 96 km/h in an
impressive 4.2 seconds and sprint down the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 177 km/h.
Some of the key modifications of this upgrade
package include a high-flow air induction system, upgraded turbochargers,
air-to-air front mounted intercooler, stainless steel exhaust system, ECU
upgrade, dyno testing, exterior emblems and a 1 of 100 interior plaque and
under hood plaque. The hit also comes with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
Hennessey can
create a Velocipator 6x6 for US$ 295,000.
