Sealy, Texas (May 7, 2024) – Hennessey, the renowned Texas-based hypercar and high-performance vehicle specialist, has unleashed its fiercest Ford F-150 Raptor iteration to date – the Hennessey VelociRaptoR 1000. Packing a staggering 1,043 bhp, this supercharged beast propels the Raptor series to new pinnacles, leaving the competition in its wake.
Delivering over 40% more power than the Raptor R, the VelociRaptoR 1000 blitzes the 0-60 mph dash in just 3.1 seconds and scorches the quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds at 122 mph. Such blistering performance comes courtesy of extensive engineering refinements like an upgraded 3.8-liter supercharger, high-flow air induction system, billet fuel rails, and Hennessey’s bespoke engine calibration.
“The VelociRaptoR 1000 is now the apex predator of pick-up trucks,” said John Hennessey, Founder and CEO of Hennessey. “With our unique upgrades and enhancements, the VelociRaptoR 1000 becomes the 911 Turbo S of trucks – combining supreme power with versatile capability. It’s as good as it gets.”
In addition to the powertrain upgrades, the VelociRaptoR 1000 is equipped with a range of performance enhancements, including a 3-inch lift and leveling kit, Hennessey wheels fitted with off-road tires, and VelociRaptor bumpers. Power steps and distinctive badging enhance both convenience and aesthetics, while the comprehensive 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty provides peace of mind for buyers.
Hennessey has been modifying Ford’s Raptor series since 2009, building thousands of VelociRaptor models and establishing itself as the world’s leading performance truck customizer. The VelociRaptoR 1000, with its signature V8 roar and distinctive supercharger whine, sets a new benchmark in performance and exclusivity. Production is limited to just 500 units, ensuring that this apex predator will be as rare as it is powerful.
For those seeking an even greater level of control, an optional Brembo brake kit upgrade is available, featuring robust six-piston calipers. Prospective buyers can secure their own VelociRaptoR 1000 through authorized Ford retailers or directly from Hennessey, but they’ll need to act fast – this limited-edition truck promises to sell out quickly.
