Hennessey creates Ford Bronco VelociRaptor 400

Ford’s newest SUV has been given the performance treatment, boosting the EcoBoost engine to produce more than 400 horsepower.

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.

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.
