Just ahead of Independence Day, Hypedrive visited what is potentially one of the most American high-performance automotive manufacturers in the game \u2014 Texas-based Hennessey Performance. While visiting Hennessey, we toured their various facilities and in true Wild West fashion, put their 1,000 hp VelociRaptoR 1000 Super Truck to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, the example Hennessey had us drive was not just any random vehicle but rather Chassis 001 of 500, a special truck that has seen hundreds of miles logged at its on-site \u201cproving ground.\u201d Based on the Ford F-150 Raptor, the modified super truck marks the brand\u2019s most powerful Ford truck produced to date. It features a staggering 1,000 hp, which is 300 more hp than the stock iteration of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key enhancements include a 3.8L supercharger, high-flow air induction, billet fuel rails, a heavy-duty supercharger belt and an upgraded fuel system. This powertrain overhaul enables the VelociRaptoR 1000 to achieve a 0-60 mph time of just 3.1 seconds and a quarter-mile sprint in 11.4 seconds at 122 mph. Beyond its impressive performance, the VelociRaptoR 1000 features a host of convenience and aesthetic upgrades, like its 3-inch lift, VelociRaptor bumpers, Hennessey wheels and off-road tires, as well as power fold-out steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Hennessey, the manufacturer\u2019s Founder and CEO, calls the VelociRaptoR 1000 the \u201capex predator of pick-up trucks,\u201d adding \u201cOur VelociRaptoR 1000 upgrade, with new wheels, tires, and big Brembo brakes takes this amazing, all-purpose vehicle and makes it the 911 Turbo S of trucks. It\u2019s as good as it gets, period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can certainly confirm Hennessey\u2019s comments on the truck firsthand. After several high-speed runs around the proving ground, including multiple 100mph+ sprints down its straight away and a few launches \u2014 the truck continued to put out power lap after lap as well as provide a somewhat paradoxically comfortable ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
