2019 FORD RAPTOR + V8 = HENNESSEY VELOCIRAPTOR V8

Sealy, Texas (October 29, 2018) — When the Ford Raptor returned to the market in 2017 you could only buy it with the 450 hp twin turbo V6 EcoBoost engine. While no one complained about a 450 hp Raptor, many previous owners did complain about there not being a V8 option. The team from Hennessey Performance (HPE) has been hearing their cries ever since and have answered them. Introducing the 2019 Hennessey VelociRaptor V8.

As the name implies, the team from HPE has taken a brand new 2019 Ford Raptor, removed the EcoBoost V6 and swapped it with a specially built Ford 5.0L V8 engine that is supercharged by Hennessey to the tune of 758 hp!

The VelociRaptor V8 conversion is comprised of an extensive series of modifications and includes a new 5.0L V8 Ford engine, Ford 10-speed automatic transmission, Ford wiring harnesses, ECU’s and other parts that complete the engine swap. Once the V8 is installed, the Hennessey team cranks up the power to the tune of 758 hp via their 2.9L supercharger system, which produces seven psi of boost pressure. Hennessey’s V8-powered Raptor runs from 0-60 mph in a staggering 4.1 seconds.

“We are so excited to introduce our VelociRaptor V8 – the first and only V8-powered Gen 2 Ford Raptor,” said company founder & CEO, John Hennessey. “Our customers have been begging for a V8 option for their new Raptors since the truck first came out in early 2017. We heard their calls and are so pleased to meet this need in the market. The sound of the VelociRaptor V8 is so worth it!”

The Hennessey VelociRaptor V8 conversion also includes: VelociRaptor bumpers front & rear, LED front lights, Stage 2 off-road suspension with a six-inch lift, Hennessey 20-inch alloy wheels, 37-inch BF Goodrich KM03 off-road tires, Hennessey & VelociRaptor V8 exterior badges, and Hennessey embroidered headrests, serial numbered plaques in the interior and engine bay.

The price for the 2019 Hennessey VelociRaptor V8 is 147,950, which includes a new 2019 Ford Raptor F-150 truck. Production is limited to just 100 units for the 2019 model year and each vehicle comes with a 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty that covers the base Ford truck as well as the complete VelociRaptor V8 conversion. The Hennessey VelociRaptor V8 is available directly from Hennessey or from select Authorized Hennessey Performance Ford dealers.

Aventador S | The design draws inspiration from predators and aeronautics

The “S” has existed for 50 years The first Lamborghini S model was launched 50 years ago to represent the evolution of already revered icons.

1985 Audi Sport Quattro: The Group B Homologation Special

In Austria in 1980, just a year after four-wheel drive cars became eligible to compete in the WRC, Audi debuted the first Quattro rally car and forever changed the sport. Over the next half of the decade (and onwards, if you count the Pikes Peak specials), these Audis would be subjected to a period of rapid iterative evolution that led to the short-wheelbase Sport Quattro models that helped define the infamously fast and dangerous era of Group B rallying. The relatively lax nature of the Group B regulations gave rise to a number of downright ferocious cars from Audi’s competitors (most notable being Lancia and Peugeot), and while it was not the most successful nor technologically advanced of these top tier cars by the end of the Group B era, the Sport Quattro is a worthy poster child for the lot of them—being first to the punch has its advantages. The advent of the Group B class provided manufacturers with practically every leeway imaginable given they adhered to a basic s...
