Hennessey Kicks the Ford Raptor Up a Notch With VelociRaptor 6X6
As if the Ford Raptor wasn’t capable enough, the folks at tuning house Hennessy have added more power and more wheels.
Called the VelociRaptor 6X6 Concept, the kit brings along plenty of upgrades and a steep price tag, starting at $295,000. For that price, this beast brings upgraded Fox suspension bits, 20-inch wheels, off-road tires, unique front and rear bumpers, a roll bar and LED lights. And of course, an extra locking axle, bringing along the 6X6 moniker.
Buyers looking for more power can opt for the 600 twin-turbo upgrade which boosts the truck up to over 600 horsepower. To get the added juice, the kit adds a stainless steel exhaust, upgraded front-mounted air-to-air intercooler, new plumbing and a re-tuned factory computer.

Going for the power upgrade will set you back another $22,5000 over the base purchase price.
“Over the past five years we have built over 800 VelociRaptor modified Raptor trucks for enthusiasts around the world”, said John Hennessey, Founder & CEO of Hennessey Performance. “We are now very excited to be able to offer the VelociRaptor 6X6 as well as our VelociRaptor 600 twin turbo engine upgrade to those who want even more power, performance and off-road capability.”
“Our VelociRaptor 6X6 is pure aggression on wheels – all six of them,” said Hennessey.
Though it is called a concept, Hennessey says that the VelociRaptor 6X6 can be ordered directly from Hennessey Performance or through select Ford dealers.
