John Hennessey, company Founder and CEO: “The VelociRaptoR 1000 is now the apex predator of pick-up trucks.  The Raptor has been the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of trucks ever since it went into production. Our VelociRaptoR 1000 upgrade, with new wheels, tires, and big Brembo brakes takes this amazing, all-purpose vehicle and makes it the 911 Turbo S of trucks. It’s as good as it gets, period.”

Hennessey has built thousands of VelociRaptor models since it first modified an F-150 Raptor in 2009. It’s now the world’s best-selling modified performance truck, and the VelociRaptoR 1000 raises the performance bar even further. Owners are sure to love the characteristic exhaust note from the unique cross-plane V8 alongside the distinctive supercharger whine, and the truck’s go-anywhere capability.

In taking the Raptor R to new heights of performance, the Hennessey team employed all its 33 years of experience in ‘making fast cars faster’. The full-size truck underwent a rigorous program of R&D before a series of dyno and road tests. All this experience, research, development, and refinement deliver a VelociRaptoR 1000 with manufacturer levels of quality and reliability, backed by a 3-year / 36,000-mile Hennessey warranty.

Beyond the regular VelociRaptoR 1000 upgrades, owners can also opt for a performance brake kit upgrade featuring powerful, 6-piston Brembo brakes.
