The Velociraptor dinosaur, famous for its speed and intelligence in the Jurassic Park films, is computer magic. Hennessey's version that was teased at SEMA, the VelociRaptor 6x6 based on the Ford Raptor, is very real and very fast. Hennessey Performance Engineering has announced that the VelociRaptor 6x6 is now being built for a limited production run of 50 vehicles. It will also be available for export around the world.
Hennessey Performance's $349,000 VelociRaptor 6x6 is an aggressive, in your face off-road beast. With 602 hp and 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, this six-wheeled monster can handle anything up to and including a Jurassic adventure with speed, power and unrivaled off-road prowess.
Taking 11 months from concept to finish, the VelociRaptor 6x6 is the successor to the original four-wheeled Hennessey Performance VelociRaptor, which debuted in 2010. Hennessey initially did not have plans to tune and customize pickups on a regular basis, but after a customer asked for a custom twin-turbo package on his 2010 Ford Raptor, the demand skyrocketed once enthusiasts saw what Hennessey could do.
An appearance on Top Gear USA in 2011 escalated the demand further. To date, Hennessey has built more than 1,000 four-wheeled VelociRaptors.
"The VelociRaptor 6x6's appearance at SEMA was just a sneak peek, but we are done teasing," said John Hennessey, Founder and CEO of Hennessey Performance Engineering. "It is time to uncage our monster of a truck."
