This Gargantuan Truck Is as Fast as a Porsche 911

Question everything you've been told

When it comes to big, badass trucks, there’s no such thing as taking it too far.

And the new Hennessey Performance Velociraptor is second to none.

Just ask its predecessor, the F-150 Raptor, with a puny 450 ponies. (We’re just kidding about being puny, don’t punch us!)

Because Velocipraptor is coming in to one-up us all in more ways than one.

Beginning with the Velociraptor’s straightjacket status 605 hp and 622 lb-ft of torque. It’s said to burn 0-to-60-mph in 4.2 seconds. That’s Porsche 911 level fast. That’s holy moly fast.

And the monster will take you for a quarter-mile run in 12.9 seconds … at 110 mph.

Be warned: it’s spendy, starting at $22,500 with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.  And should you want to go full batsh*t, they offer a six-wheel Velociraptor as well, at about four times the price.
