VELOCIRAPTOR 400 BRONCO: with 400HP biturbo engine

The arrival of a higher performing, capable and sportier version of the Bronco is no secret. Ford itself has already presented the Bronco Raptor that will hit the market at the end of 2023. This means that there is still a long time left, so the Hennessey VelociRaptor 400 Bronco could be an interesting alternative.

Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), the Texas-based American supercar maker and tuner and creator of high-performance vehicles, has on this occasion elevated the power of the new Ford Bronco with its acclaimed VelociRaptor package, which converts the model into a veritable monster. 4x4.

The price is $76,000 for the preparation plus the base of the Bronco Wildtrak. The expert commented that the preparation alone with the installation labor included costs 24,000 dollars. Production is limited to 200 units and orders can now be placed through authorized Ford dealers or directly from Hennessey.

The new Hennessey VelociRaptor 400 Bronco has 411 hp at 5,700 rpm and 682 Nm of torque at 3,900 rpm. It is the result of a complete re-elaboration by the experts at Hennessey. The company's engineers installed new intake and exhaust systems on the 2.7-liter V6 biturbo engine. In addition, they recalibrated the engine to maximize power.

The VelociRaptor package adds 76 hp and 119 Nm of torque to the original figures. These improvements allow the 4x4 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. With the Hennessey Off-Road Package, owners can further customize their Bronco with 35-inch off-road tires on 18-inch Hennessey wheels.

Nor are the VelociRaptor front and rear bumpers lacking, as well as the retractable side stairs and VelociRaptor logos. Thanks to Hennessey's extensive PD process, all engine modes and off-road systems of the Bronco have been preserved, and Hennessey offers a 3-year warranty. Customers will be able to choose two or four-door versions, with or without soft top.
