HENNESSEY

Hennessey F-150 VelociRaptoR 1000...Ford has already introduced the new F-150 Raptor R, a great pick-up that has a V8 engine under the hood. When it debuts in the first quarter of 2023, the Hennessey VelociRaptoR 1000 will feature almost 1,000 hp and over 1,150 Nm of torque.

With these figures, the VelociRaptoR 1000 presents itself as the fastest and most powerful pick-up in the world.

With 2 more cylinders than the stock F-150 Raptor and equipped with a 2.65-litre supercharger rather than a twin-turbo configuration, the pinnacle of the lineup relies on the Dearborn brand's 5.2-litre 'Predator' V8 as its base. 

Hennessey engineers, obsessed with high-powered combustion engines, plan to replace some original parts with a larger 3.8-liter compressor. It will be complemented with high-flow induction, larger fuel injectors, improved fuel lines and a new belt. When the final calibration is completed, the result is expected to be a 40% increase in power.

The model will feature new features on the exterior to improve its appearance and off-road capability. New front and rear guardrails, an LED lightbar at the front, 20-inch Hennessey wheels and 37-inch off-road tires give you more road presence and increase your safety anywhere. The VelociRaptoR 1000 badge and a build plate with the serial number will identify the model as something very special.

The model will have a two-year official warranty and the first units are expected to reach their owners at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
