With the Ford Raptor no more as far as production goes, the aftermarket has been in full swing doing their part creating Raptor alternatives with the all-new 2015 F150 platform. One such alternative has recently surfaced by one of the most well known tuning companies around – Hennessey Performance.
Dubbed the VelociRaptor 600, Hennessey’s newest creation based off of the 2015 F150 Supercrew FX4 and equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 option will offer performance-minded buyers the chance to get their hands on a 600+ hp beast that would give the original 411 hp Raptor a run for its money. Coming fully equipped with a Roots-type supercharger capable of 8 psi of boost, BFGoodrich 33-inch tires, 17-inch Hennessey wheels, and a stainless-steel exhaust system, this Raptor alternative will surely plant enthusiasts firmly in the seat with a simple press of the skinny pedal.
Whats more, for those enthusiasts concerned about voiding the factory warranty of their brand new 2015 F150, the VelociRaptor 600 package will come with a full three year, 36,000-mile warranty from Hennessey to help make the purchase decision even easier. While the base package includes power and appearance options, off road-minded buyers will have the option of adding on upgraded bumpers, tuned off road suspension, a front winch, LED light bars, and even Brembo brakes – making this a true Raptor alternative.
Hennessey was able to sell over 400 VelociRaptors in the previous generation and is hoping for the same demand with the much-anticipated 2015 F150 as the build platform. Currently, Hennessey plans to produce 500-units of the 2015 VelociRaptor 600 and pricing will start at $73,500 ready to go. For those looking for a 2015 F150 with four-wheel-drive and more power than they know what to do with, this is a great option and a great way to cruise the trail in style!
