Our drive in the 300mph Venom F5 proves that Hennessey is far from just another tuner, so as development of its hypercar concludes, the firm has focused back on what’s made them so popular over the years, turning American muscle cars and trucks into high performance machines. The Ford Bronco 'VelociRaptor' is its latest creation, increasing power and tweaking design of the standard Bronco range-topper. First conversions have now entered production, with the upgrade package priced from $32,950 (c£26,400).
The standard car's twin-turbocharged 3-litre Ecoboost V6 remains, but Hennessey has managed to extract an additional 88bhp and 110lb ft of torque, reaching a peak of 500bhp and 550lb ft. Though derived primarily from an ECU tune, the gains are backed by numerous hardware upgrades to ensure longevity. These include an uprated intercooler, new induction system and a new stainless steel exhaust system that reduces back pressure. Performance figures haven’t been disclosed, but expect an improvement on the factory 6sec 0-62mph time. hennessy shirts
