        Jurassic Drive: Hennessy Unleashes New Beast— VelociRaptor 6×6

        New 600-plus horsepower 6x6 ready for anything.

        John Hennessey and his gang are at it again with the new VelociRaptor 6x6.

        What do you get when you cross a dinsosaur with a Ford F-Series pickup truck? Hennessey Peformance Engineering’s latest creation: the VelociRaptor 6×6.

        Hennessey’s VelociRaptor 6×6 is what one imagines if the Ford Raptor was combined with the speed, agility and cleverness of a velociraptor. The 6×6 beast will be limited to a production run 50 vehicles. It comes in at $349,000.

        Taking 11 months from concept to finish, the VelociRaptor 6×6 is the successor to the original four-wheeled Hennessey Performance VelociRaptor, which debuted in 2010.

        The company had no plans to continue the line, but a customer request changed all that. Hennessey produced a custom twin-turbo package on the customer’s 2010 Ford Raptor, and the demand skyrocketed once enthusiasts found out.

        (Ready! Set! Record! Hennessey wants speed record for Venom F5. Click Here for the story.)

        For $349,000 you can get the latest beast from Hennessey Performance Engineering.

        Of course, the truck’s appearance on Top Gear USA in 2011 didn’t hurt the truck’s popularity or sales. Thus far, Hennessey has built more than 1,000 four-wheeled VelociRaptors.

        So, what does $349,000 get you? Here are the details:

        • Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCrew base
        • 605 hp @ 6000 rpm from a twin-turbo engine upgrade
        • 622 lb-ft of torque
        • 6×6 locking rear axles
        • Upgraded Fox suspension
        • Six 20-inch wheels and Toyo Open Country tires
        • Hennessey front and rear bumper upgrades
        • LED lights
        • Roll bar
        • Three Year/36,000 mile warranty from Hennessey

        “The VelociRaptor 6×6’s appearance at SEMA was just a sneak peek, but we are done teasing,” said John Hennessey, founder and CEO of Hennessey Performance Engineering. “It is time to uncage our monster of a truck.”

        “Our VelociRaptor 6X6 is pure aggression on wheels – all six of them,” said Hennessey. “The new 2017 Raptor is going to be one of the best all-around trucks ever built. We are excited to help take it to the next level both in terms of performance and exclusivity.”

        (To see more about Ford shipping Raptors to China, Click Here.)

        The Hennessey VelociRaptor 6X6 can be ordered directly from Hennessey Performance or through select Hennessey-affiiliated Ford dealers.
