Tuning company Hennessey Performance has announced a new limited-edition version of the Ford Bronco.
Hennessey is famed for adding big power to pickup trucks and muscle cars, and building its own Venom hypercars.
Now the Texas-based firm has turned its attention to the in-demand SUV. A comprehensive overhaul of the twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine, sees the Ford Bronco gain big power.
Turbocharged limited-edition performance
Hennessey has added a new air intake, upgraded the exhaust system, and recalibrated the ECU for Ford’s standard 2.7-l EcoBoost V6 engine. The result is a substantial 405 hp, accompanied by a sizable 503 lb-ft of torque.
It means the Bronco can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, but still deliver thrills in the dirt. Hennessey offers an optional Off-Road Package, adding bespoke VelociRaptor bumpers, retractable side steps, and Hennessey wheels wearing all-terrain rubber.
Buyers can specify their VelociRaptor 400 Bronco in either two- or four-door body styles, and can be combined with a soft-top roof. Production will be limited to just 200 examples.
Adding another VelociRaptor to the pack
The VelociRaptor 400 uses the Wildtrak version of the Ford Bronco as a base for its creation. Pricing will be in the region of $80,000 (£58,000), which does include the price of the donor vehicle.
Hennessey supplies a three-year / 36,000-mile warranty as part of the VelociRaptor 400 deal.
The new Bronco model becomes the latest VelociRaptor to emerge from the Hennessey garage. Multiple versions of the Ford F-150 performance pickup have previously been created by the company.
A V8-powered version of the Ford Bronco is also planned, with the promise of 750 hp from a supercharged 5.0-l V8.
