Predatory Power: Hennessey VelociRaptoR 1000 Ford Raptor R Is Here
Recently, Hennessey Performance announced it was adding the most powerful offering to grace the Hennessey VelociRaptor lineup with the VelociRaptoR 1000. This new package builds upon the potent underpinnings of the mighty Ford Raptor R. A truck that already sports a supercharged V8 GT500 motor and loads of off-road prowess. Famous worldwide for these over-the-top trucks, Hennessey Performance has sold VelociRaptors across the globe to many folks with cash to burn. Unless you are a very wealthy farmer with an oil well, I do not suppose a 6×6 truck is practical for anyone, even Post Malone. Either way, they have sold thousands and now they stepped up their game. Leave it to Hennessey Performance to turn a super-truck into a “hyper-truck.” Here is precisely how the Texas-based brand plans on making this predatory powerhouse perform. VelociRaptoR 1000 Is BuiltTo Bash And Slash Before getting to the engine performance portion of the VelociRaptoR 1000, we should discuss its other attributes. For this is indeed a complete

This Ford Ranger Raptor Will Run Wild at 2023’s Baja 1000, Promo Vid Looks Stunning
The Baja 1000 is the most grueling off-road race in the Western Hemisphere. If not for the Dakar rally on the other side of the world, it might as well be the most brutal in the world. That's why it's an impact statement on the part of Ford to send their next-gen Ranger Raptor to the race that's like the LeMans of the dunes. According to Justin Capicchiano, a Special Vehicle Engineering manager at Ford Performance, it's all about testing the limits of Ford's most international pickup truck. "It's is one of the toughest races in the world, and we think the race itself is a really good proof point for us to show what the car's capable of." Said Capicchiano in a video press release from Ford Performance on YouTube. In spite of Ford's new Raptor Baja truck's purpose-built race truck looks, Todd Kelly of Kelly Racing reveals how in
The Ford Super Duty Raptor Is Possible, Says Engineering Manager
Ford currently makes three different Raptors, based on the F-150, Ranger, and Bronco. The V8-engined Raptor R can be considered the fourth, although it features plenty of shared parts with the six-pot Raptor. Is the Ford Motor Company willing to add a fifth Raptor to the range? Our friends at Ford Authority had a chat with Super Duty engineering manager Aaron Bresky, who let it slip that it might happen if there’s demand for it. “There is nothing limiting this [designing the Super Duty Raptor] as far as I’m concerned, and we’re always listening to our customers,” he told the cited publication. “If customers are saying ‘we like the Tremor but where is the Super Duty Raptor?’ we listen to our customers,” concluded Bresky. Redesigned for the 2023 model year, the Super Duty series of trucks can be had with three powertrain options. Instead of the 6.2-liter Boss of the previous generation, the base engine now comes
Ram 1500 TRX Side-Loads the Ford Raptor R Without Even Breaking a CGI Squat
While in the real world both Ram and Ford are preparing to duke it out across the full-size pickup truck electric playing field with the Lightning and 1500 EV, over across the virtual realm there is nothing but TRX versus Raptor R bonanza. And jokes plus ironies, of course. This is because when Ford – at long last – introduced the first-ever 2023 F-150 Raptor R with a V8 engine to fight the Ram 1500 TRX king of the OEM pickup trucks, it also did a double fault. And just like in tennis, it might not only lose a crucial point, but it could even forfeit the entire off-road rock-crawling, dune-bashing pickup truck game. It all comes down to a couple of major things. First is the fact that Blue Oval engineers seemingly missed the whole idea and delivered the Raptor R’s supercharged V8 just shy of the 702-horsepower rival. Secondly, the pricing shows absolute
Ford’s New Ranger Raptor Completes Baja 1000, Drives Back To California
Ford Performance came back victorious from this year’s International Baja 1000 race with a rally-prepped Ranger Raptor finishing first in the stock midsize class where it was the only contestant. After the tough 1,000-mile off-road race, the pickup drove back to Riverside, California, proudly exhibiting its dirty livery on public roads. According to Ford, the Baja-ready Ranger Raptor was “race-prepped but remaining stock and street legal”. Besides the racing stickers, exterior upgrades included the snorkel, bull bar, skid plates, LED light bar, new wheels, and tires, plus two full-size spares, a larger tank, and extra equipment mounted on the rear bed. A low-carbon biofuel from Shell was used for the race, without any changes to the twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 petrol that produces 392 hp (292 kW / 397 PS) and 583 Nm (430 ft-lb) of torque in Australian specification. The heavy-duty suspension with Fox shocks was also left stock. Despite the hurdles of the 1,000-mile
