by The novelty delivers an electric shock if someone tries to enter the cabin, and it can also drive where a tractor might get stuck, but most importantly, the vehicle protects those inside from AK-47s and improvised explosive devices!
Hennessey VelociRaptor is the name of the new (and innovative) off-road vehicle from the American company AddArmor, which presented a very advanced and obscenely protected pickup, made based on the Ford F-150 Raptor.
As a protective material for the body (armored, of course), the Americans used Dyneema – a material that is allegedly a dozen and a half times stronger than steel and almost half as strong… as Kevlar! Kalashnikov rifles, explosive devices – none of these pose a threat to the off-road vehicle.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the cherry on top is that the Raptor from AddArmor has a whole protection package against fools, protesters, and terrorists. Namely: door handles that deliver an electric shock; a sound counterattack system; ultra-strong bumpers (for snow removal?), as well as a couple of batteries (for unforeseen situations), internal communication system, siren, and even a system for detecting… a planted bomb in the vehicle!
We’ll keep silent about the fact that this VelociRaptor can drive at a speed of 80 km/h on flat tires and can brake no slower than a Ferrari 458, thanks to Brembo enhanced brakes and a front suspension leveling kit.
Interested in the specifications? Here they are in brief: 600 horsepower and almost 4 and a half seconds to a hundred! Moreover, the surface under the wheels is a secondary issue. Simply put, escaping wouldn’t be difficult. One nuance – you need to become a bribe taker to: a) have the need to purchase such a vehicle; b) have the necessary amount for its acquisition, which amounts to several hundred thousand dollars.
