Hennessey has just
dropped a clip of its 600 hp Lincoln Navigator testing on the dyno. It can only
be described as one of the most luxurious sleepers out there. The
Navigator comes outfitted with the same 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 as the Ford
F-150 Raptor. This means the big SUV delivers the same 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of
torque and is quite brisk off the line.
However, Hennessey
Performance is never satisfied with the performance of a bone-stock vehicle and
has decided to equip the vehicle with new engine software, a high-flow
induction system, stainless steel exhaust, and an enlarged front-mounted
intercooler. These modifications result in a total of 600 hp and allow the
Navigator to reach 96 km/h in just 4.8 seconds and accelerate down the
quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds at 172 km/h.
Despite how much
power the Hennessey HPE600 Lincoln Navigator has, its engine is still
remarkably quiet, as this dyno video shows. Discussing the vehicle earlier this
year, John Hennessey says it enjoys all the same modifications as the firm’s
VelociRaptor 600.
All Hennessey-tuned
Lincoln Navigator models come with a 3 year / 36,000 mile (58,000 km) warranty.
