Under the hood, the VelociRaptor has three optional engine upgrade packages available, including one diesel unit. The least powerful is the VelociRaptor 600 package, which takes the 6. 2-liter engine up to 600 horsepower at 5,700 rpm. Finally, there is also a diesel option in the form of the F-250?s 6. 7-liter PowerStroke engine that produces 440 horsepower and 860 pound-feet of torque. The available options include wheel and tire upgrades, a rear bumper upgrade, an LED light bar for the front bumper, a Warn winch, and an off-road suspension package. Source: www.insidercarnews.com
