Hennessey VelociRaptor 500
The Boys at Hennessey must be getting bored with 1,000 horsepower monster cars because today they announced their new monster truck, the VelociRaptor 500. That’s right, Hennessey Performance has taken a Ford F150 Raptor and bolted a Whipple supercharger on the already stout 5.4 liter V8. This fearse Raptor now produces 501 HP and 520 lbs-ft of torque at 9.1 pounds of boost. They also added a K&N intake, stainless steel exhaust and headers, tuned the ECU, and upgraded fuel injectors. Now look for the VelociRaptor to hit 60 in a staggering 5.6 seconds.
The Hennessey kit will cost around 14k installed with a one year warranty. They plan on producing just at 100 VelociRaptors a year.

Cool idea but it seems like a waste when the new bigger and better engine for that truck is right around the corner.
I agree Joel, but the Raptor seems to be selling ok, even in this market. Maybe they’re pushing the envelope and seeing how it goes. But with the new engine in the near future, personally I’d wait too…
