Hennessey Announces Bronco VelociRaptor With Over 400 HP

Very last 12 months, Hennessey introduced that it’d create the Bronco VelociRaptor V8. It was a 750-horsepower off-street menace with a supercharged 5.-liter lurking less than the hood. It debuted lengthy ahead of the Bronco even started generation, but now that Ford is last but not least building the SUV and providing it to sellers, Hennessey is back again to announce yet another Bronco up grade identified as the VelociRaptor four hundred.

Unlike the Bronco VelociRaptor V8, the VelociRaptor four hundred retains Ford’s two.7-liter EcoBoost less than the hood of the Wildtrak model. Hennessey will get the further electrical power by setting up a new ingestion and exhaust system and recalibrating the engine. The stock engine will make a stout 310 hp (231 kW) and four hundred pound-ft (542 Newton-meters) of torque, but Hennessey increases that to 405 hp (302 kW) and 503 lb-ft (681 Nm) of torque. The firm promises the tuned Bronco can hit 60 miles for every hour (ninety six kilometers for every hour) in 4.9 seconds.

On the outside the house, Hennessey’s up grade involves eighteen-inch Hennessey wheels, 35-inch off-street tires, a VelociRaptor entrance and rear bumper, LED lights, and Hennessey and VelociRaptor badging. There are Hennessey embroidered headrests on the seats, and retractable aspect methods make getting in and out much easier. The up grade retains the Bronco’s engine modes and off-street system intact, with a 3-12 months, 36,000-mile guarantee provided by Hennessey for peace of intellect.

Hennessey suggests that it will limit the 1st-12 months generation of the Bronco VelociRaptor four hundred to just 200 examples, with the package deal costing $24,950 on major of the Bronco. Hennessey expects the normal customer to pay back $eighty,000 on the up grade. Now that the Bronco is last but not least in generation, immediately after numerous delays disheartening waiting around shoppers, we’re probably to see a host of tunes, upgrades, and kits come to be accessible as homeowners established out to personalize their new off-street rides. We just cannot wait around to see what Hennessey provides and what the competition provide to the table.
