Buy a brand-new Ford Raptor and it no longer comes equipped with a V8 engine, instead using a 3.5-litre V6 turbo. While derived from a Ford GT"s engine, this has displeased some people, and Hennessey is here to cheer them back up again. The car before you is a current-gen Raptor complete with fancy ten-speed automatic gearbox and much tech but with a V8 slotted back in again. It"s the 2019 Hennessey VelociRaptor, and it"s just been unveiled at the SEMA tuning show in Las Vegas. Being Hennessey, it"s no ordinary off-the-shelf V8. It"s a 5.0-litre Ford engine with Hennessey"s 2.9-litre supercharger strapped to it. Yep, a supercharger that"s almost as big as a standard Raptor"s engine, and enough to push the VelociRaptor towards 750bhp. Eek.
