Hennessey Unveils New F-250-Based VelociRaptor SUV: Video - Motor Authority
Texas-based tuner Hennessey Performance doesn't do subtle. To paraphrase its founder's slogan, the tuner makes fast cars faster. It started with a Ford F-250 Lariat, and transformed it into what the company dubbed a VelociRaptor SUV. The previous model was based on Ford's F-150 Raptor , and the new base vehicle allows the creation to be bigger, if not badder, than its predecessor. As you'd expect, power gets a major boost, thanks to a beefy supercharger which takes output from a respectable 411 horsepower to either 600 or 650 horsepower, depending on options. Along with the go-fast bits, there will be a host of appearance options—including a bumper with an integrated LED light bar—and beefier wheels and tires. Wait time is currently at six months, so those hoping to have it in time for summer adventures are out of luck. Hennessey's 2016 VelociRaptor SUV packages will start at $159,500. We know that Hennessey isn't camera shy, so video of this jurassic juggernaut in action is sure to surface soon. Source: www.motorauthority.com
