Ford fans can buy a much faster F-150 pickup, thanks to Hennessey Performance.
The Texas-based tuner has created the limited-edition Venom 775 truck, and it packs serious power.
Hennessey claims its new truck is a rival for the Ram 1500 TRX, and it benefits from a significant weight advantage over the Mopar truck.
Boosted to the max
The 400 hp 5.0-l V8-powered F-150 is used as the base for the Venom 775. Hennessey adds a supercharger, along with a bespoke intercooler and air intake system.
Other modifications include new engine management software, a performance exhaust system, and multiple internal upgrades for the motor.
This results in a substantial output of 775 hp, along with a thumping 685 lb-ft of torque.
Acceleration from 0-60 mph should take just 3.9 seconds, with a quarter-mile sprint dispatched in 12 seconds.
Get low or reach for the sky
Along with the engine changes, Hennessey can also fit the Venom 775 with a host of other performance parts.
A bespoke Venom-branded front bumper includes a new LED light bar. A suspension kit adds six inches to the overall height, providing room for the 35-inch off-road rubber.
Alternatively, buyers can opt for a sport coilover suspension setup, dropping the Venom 775 closer to the road.
Exterior decals and Venom 775-embroidered headrests, plus numbered plaques for the engine and dashboard are also included.
This truck bites back
Hennessey plans to produce only 100 examples of the Venom 775, with trucks tailored to suit the taste of their owners.
Orders from international customers are being encouraged. Depending on the options selected, buying a Venom 775 should cost $90,000 to $100,000 (£65,500 to £72,750).
This includes the price of the new Ford F-150, with Hennessey able to offer a three-year and 36,000-mile warranty, too.
