Hennessey has turned the 2018 Ford Raptor into a
six-wheeled beast, for the 2017 SEMA Show, but unlike most vehicles presented
in Las Vegas these days, it will actually be put into production. The tuner
says they will make just 50 examples, and each one will carry a starting price
of US$ 349,000.
Well, a
base 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor crew-cab, which will then be turned into a
six-wheeled machine, benefiting from the 6x6 locking rear axles, upgraded
suspension, 20-inch wheels wrapped in Toyo off-road tires, special front and
rear bumpers, roll bar, and LED lights.
The tuner will also allow customers to get
the twin-turbo upgrade package that massages the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine
to produce in excess of 600 hp, as an optional extra. And speaking about extras,
a Brembo braking system, with 6 calipers and rotors, can be fitted to the
VelociRaptor 6x6, for an additional US$ 22,000.
The company says that the six-wheeled truck can be
had directly from Hennessey Performance, or through select Ford dealers.
