<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Hennessey/">Hennessey</a> has worked its magic on the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/raptor">F150 Raptor</a> and as you'd expect, the primary addition to FoMoCo's Dakar-ready pickup is... power. Meet the Hennessey VelociRaptor.<br />
<br />
With the knowledge that Ford's engineers know infinitely more about suspension tuning, Hennessey has focused the majority of its efforts under the hood, slapping a Whipple supercharger onto the Raptor's 5.4-liter V8 and ramping output to 501 horsepower (at 5,100 rpm) and 520 pound-feet of torque (at 3,200 rpm). Combined with the 9.1 pounds of boost, a K&N intake, upgraded fuel injectors, a stainless steel exhaust and headers, and then tuned with a reflashed ECU, the VelociRaptor's 0-60 time has been reduced from 8.4 to 5.6 seconds with the quarter mile dispatched in 14.1 seconds at 97 mph.<br />
<br />
Hennessey plans to create 100 VelociRaptors each year, with the full kit coming in at $10,950 or the Hennessey-installed solution for $14,995, which includes a one-year warranty. Full stats and breakdown <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/10/hennessey-velociraptor-500/#continued">after the jump</a>, along with a video of the VelociRaptor running the traps.<br />
