Engineered to be even more formidable than the factory version of the Bronco Raptor, the team at Hennessey utilized their expertise in engineering the VelociRaptor 500’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. Notable performance-enhancing features include proprietary engine management system tuning, a new high-capacity intercooler, and low-flow exhaust modifications. The VelociRaptor 500 produces almost 20 percent more output than its factory sibling, with 500 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque.

“Our customers are big fans of the new Bronco, but they’ve been asking us for more power and greater performance capabilities from day one,” said John Hennessey, Founder and CEO of Hennessey, “Ford’s Raptor version is a big improvement, but the engine has even more potential. Our engineering team has released its potency to create the ultimate all-powerful off-road SUV.”

With pricing from $32,950 (in addition to the base price of the Ford Bronco Raptor), the VelociRaptor 500 package includes features like enhanced air induction, a high-capacity intercooler with blow-off valve, and an upgraded engine-management system that boosts the performance of its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. The exterior of the VelociRaptor 500 Bronco is transformed with unique Hennessey 10-spoke alloy wheels, custom VelociRaptor bumpers, Hennessey Heritage graphics, and VelociRaptor 500 Bronco badging. Notable interior features include Hennessey’s embroidered head restraints, all-weather floor mats, and a unique plaque.

Hennessey is an automaker that prides itself on quality and reliability, backing up every one of its Bronco builds with its comprehensive 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty. 

The eighth VelociRaptor model to come from Hennessey’s development team, the new Hennessey VelociRaptor 500 Bronco is available now through authorized Ford retailers or directly from Hennessey.
