Yahoo Autos Heavens to Betsy, Hennessey Is Making a 600-HP Raptor 6x6
Six hundred horsepower. Six-wheel-drive. Meet your terrifyingly awesome twin-turbo nightmare: The Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6.
Hennessey Performance took one look at the 450-horsepower 2017 Ford Raptor and said, "sure, but what about more?" Two more wheels, another driven axle, and 150 more horsepower later, you've got this monstrosity. Buckle your brain-belts, it's about to get radical in here.
Hennessey says the VelociRaptor starts at $295,000, including the 2017 Raptor SuperCrew on which it's based. The rest of that money goes toward the 6x6 locking axles, upgraded Fox Racing suspension, new 20-inch wheels and super-wide tires, custom bumpers front and back, a bed-mounted roll bar, and all the LED lighting you could ask for.
Those who want all that power without a 50-percent increase in tire costs can opt to equip their 2017 Raptors with the VelociRaptor 600 engine upgrade and forego the 6x6 conversion. The engine kit brings new turbos, a custom exhaust, front-mount air-to-air intercooler and a new ECU tune, bringing power output to "more than 600 hp" at a cost of $22,500.
But, c'mon. If you've got the means to go 6x6, go with the freakin' 6x6. And give your G-Wagen 6x6-owning neighbor a taste of America.
