The Texas-based atelier Hennessey Performance has presented a high-performance modification of the Ford F-250 pickup truck called the VelociRaptor 1200. The project is timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the formation of the USA and is prepared for heavy off-road use. This is reported by “Focus.ua”.
The basis of the novelty is a solution atypical for sport pickups, featuring a turbo-diesel engine. Under the hood is a 6.7-liter V8 that develops 500 hp and 1626 Nm of torque. The model received a modified chassis for extreme conditions.
