Hennessey VelociRaptorR 1000 Super Truck: Unleashing the Beast
The Ford F-150 Raptor R is already a formidable force straight off the assembly line, but for those who crave even more power and aggression, Hennessey Performance Engineering has answered the call with the VelociRaptorR 1000 Super Truck. With its vicious looks and jaw-dropping performance figures, this modified masterpiece is now entering production, ready to conquer both the road and the off-road terrain.
At the heart of the VelociRaptorR 1000 lies an awe-inspiring powertrain that churns out a mind-blowing 1,043 horsepower, a staggering increase of over 40 percent from its stock counterpart. Hennessey achieved this monumental power boost by equipping the truck with a 3.8-liter supercharger, high-flow air induction, billet fuel rails, upgraded fuel lines, and an air/oil separator system. Coupled with a recalibrated engine management system, this powerhouse is primed to deliver supercar-like performance on demand.
From a standstill, the VelociRaptorR 1000 rockets to 60 mph in a mere 3.1 seconds, making it one of the quickest trucks on the planet. Its quarter-mile time of 11.4 seconds at 122 mph is a testament to its blistering acceleration and raw power. As John Hennessey, the company’s founder and CEO, aptly puts it, “It is the Porsche 911 Turbo S of trucks.”
But Hennessey didn’t stop at just increasing the power. The VelociRaptorR 1000 is equipped with a 3-inch lift, front and rear suspension leveling, and power electric fold-out steps, ensuring both performance and functionality on any terrain. New Hennessey wheels paired with 37-inch off-road tires provide the necessary grip, while six-piston Brembo brakes offer exceptional stopping power.
Visually, the Super Truck is a sight to behold, with aggressive styling cues that include VelociRaptor front and rear bumpers, Hennessey badging, and distinctive 20-inch wheels. Inside, customers can expect high-quality materials and finishes, along with a host of modern amenities to complement the truck’s unrivaled performance.
Production of the VelociRaptorR 1000 has commenced, with only 500 units slated for production. Interested buyers can place their orders through authorized Ford dealers or directly with Hennessey. Each truck comes with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty, providing peace of mind for those who dare to tame this ultimate super truck.
In the realm of high-performance trucks, the Hennessey VelociRaptorR 1000 stands tall as a true powerhouse, ready to dominate both the asphalt and the wilderness with its unmatched combination of power, agility, and ruggedness. For enthusiasts seeking the ultimate adrenaline rush, look no further than this beastly creation from Hennessey Performance Engineering.
