Hennessey Unleashes Its Tuned 2017 F-150 Velociraptor


Texas-based tuner Hennessey Performance has just unveiled its range of upgrade packages for the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor including the new Velociraptor 600.

All models are fitted with Ford’s twin-turbocharged EcoBoost 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine which typically produces 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. However, Hennessey can easily increase those figures by 30 hp and 30 lb-ft with a simply $695 ECU tune.

For customers that want some extra grunt, a new high-flow air intake that adds 8 hp can be ordered as can the Hennessey Velocipator 500 package which as the name implies, increases power further to 500 hp. Starting at $2,995, this package also includes a stainless steel catback exhaust system, high-flow intake and air filter as well as a selection of custom badges.

An off-road Stage 1 package is also offered for the potent pickup truck and will set customers back $9,995. It includes the addition of special bumpers, 20-inch 10-spoke Hennessey wheels, 35-inch Toyo tires, a front suspension levelling kit and a 3-inch lift.

For those that want the ultimate in performance, the Velociraptor 600 Twin Turbo results in 605 hp at 6,000 rpm and 622 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, allowing the vehicle to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in an impressive 4.2 seconds and sprint down the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 110 mph (177 km/h).

Some of the key modifications of this upgrade package include a high-flow air induction system, upgraded turbochargers, air-to-air front mounted intercooler, stainless steel exhaust system, ECU upgrade, dyno testing, exterior emblems and a 1 of 100 interior plaque and under hood plaque. The hit also comes with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.

If this somehow isn’t enough for you, Hennessey can create a Velocipator 6x6 for $295,000.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...
