Production of the Hennessey VelociRaptor 500 Bronco, based on the Ford Bronco Raptor, has officially started and customers deliveries are soon to commence.
The US-based tuner and manufacturer has extracted 372kW from Ford’s twin-turbo V6 Bronco Raptor, while adding a host of off-road improvements and visual tweaks.
Over the standard Bronco, the 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6 has received a high-capacity intercooler and system tune up to 372kW of power and 748Nm of torque, up from the factory outputs of 311kW and 598Nm.
The VelociRaptor comes riding on a set of 18-inch Hennessey wheels wrapped in massive 37-inch off-road tyres, with the option of 20-inch rims also available.
Over the standard Bronco, Hennessey adds a set of electronic side steps, upgraded front and rear bumper bars with LED lighting, VelociRaptor badges and a set of embroidered headrests inside.
The complete upgrade kit is priced from US$28,950, excluding the price of the Bronco Raptor. Founder and CEO, John Hennessey, said:
“The VelociRaptor 500 Bronco is one of our most agile and capable off-road offerings – it’s nearly unstoppable off the pavement. Our 500 horsepower upgrade pairs perfectly with Ford’s rugged Bronco Raptor 4×4 and we improve upon the factory’s high-performance offering and enhance it with more power and a more aggressive appearance.”
