If you're a fan of powerful pickups, we have good news for you. We want you to Hennessey VelociRaptor 500 based on the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor, yesterday from the tuner Hennessey performance was presented. This XXL pickup is not only a real eye-catcher, but also a real powerhouse. The Hennessey VelociRaptor 500 is based on the new Ford Ranger Raptor, which comes with a factory fitted 3,0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. In the standard version, the engine already delivers a strong 405 hp and 583 Nm of torque. But of course that wasn't enough for Hennessey. The engineers of the Texan company have therefore given the six-cylinder a new high-flow intake system, a larger intercooler and optimized engine management (chip tuning). The result: 500 hp and 746 Nm of torque!

This makes the Hennessey VelociRaptor 500 the most powerful mid-size pickup on the market that also comes with a full factory warranty. The engine is still coupled to the well-known 10-speed automatic transmission, which distributes the power to all four wheels. The pickup also had an active exhaust system (“Quiet”, “Normal”, “Sport”, “Baja), there were powerful Fox shock absorbers (Fox Live Valve Internal Bypass) and different driving modes (“Tow/Haul”, “Sport ", "Slippery", "Off-Road", "Rock Crawl", "Baja") for different terrain conditions are also included. In addition, the Ranger Raptor comes standard with all-wheel drive, an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case and limited-slip differentials front and rear. The best conditions for an off-road adventure.
