Famous tuner Hennessey Performance of Texas has recently released the details with its new 2017 Ford F-150 Velociraptor, the high-end model receiving a whole range of upgrades at the exterior as well as under the hood.
The famous pickup truck is already a monster truck from the factory, coming with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost six-cylinder engine, developing 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. However, the technicians have succeeded to add 30 horsepower and 30 lb-ft of torque more, thanks to a $695 worth of an ECU upgrade package.
More than that, the aftermarket specialists can install further technical bits for extra money, of course – the $2,995 power kit, with stainless steel catback exhaust system, high-flow intake and air filter, new badges and so on.
In case you also want to power-up your Velocipator with 600 horsepower, then the tuner are also offering the Stage 1 package, now available for $9,995. This one also brings other significant updates like high-flow air induction system, ECU remapping, upgraded superchargers, air-to-air front mounted intercooler, stainless steel exhaust system, and dyno testing.
All these make the pickup truck churn out 605 horsepower and 622 lb-ft of torque, and a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h achieved at 4.2 seconds, which is a staggering figure for such a massive truck. The quarter mile is also done in 12.9 seconds.
The same package also comes with some styling cues, like special bumpers, 20-inch ten-spoke Hennessey wheels wrapped in 35-inch Toyo tires, front suspension system with a 3-inch lift and much more. The package also offers a 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty.
