The New Bronco Doesn’t Come With A V8, So Hennessey Built The VelociRaptor V8 Bronco!

Hennessey VelociRaptor V8 Bronco

One of the few shortcomings of the new 2021 Ford Bronco is that it only makes 310HP in top form. Sure, there are rumors about a Raptor-ized Bronco in the future sporting a rugged V8 engine. But seeing as how that could still be years away, horsepower junkie John Hennessey took matters into his own hands.

Behojd, the Hennessey VelociRaptor V8 Bronco. Hennessey Performance Engineering is taking the new Ford Bronco to the next level when it goes into production next year, with the VelociRaptor V8 Bronco to be powered by a supercharged Coyote 5.0-liter Ford V8 engine producing 750 horsepower and mated to a Ford 10-speed automatic transmission.

HPE expects the increased power and performance to drop the vehicle’s 0-60 mph time to just 4.5 seconds. Other upgrades on the VelociRaptor V8 Bronco include a custom hood with scoop, larger wheels and tires, upgraded suspension system, custom Hennessey leather interior, VelociRaptor V8 racing livery graphics, upgraded stainless steel exhaust and more.

“Over the past 2 years we have built over 70 Gen 2 Ford Raptors for our customers by removing the EcoBoost V6 and replacing it with the same 750 HP supercharged 5.0 V8. I wanted to build the ultimate Ford Bronco for myself and for our customers,” said company founder and CEO, John Hennessey. “The 2021 Bronco may be one of the most highly desired vehicles since the introduction of the Ford GT. We look forward to taking the new Bronco to the next level and beyond.”

Here’s the full list of specifications for the VelociRaptor V8 Bronco:

• New 2021 Ford Bronco (2D or 4D)
• 5.0L V8 Ford Engine

The complete cost including the new Bronco is $225,000 plus vehicle shipping costs.

Yeah, that’s over four times the price of a fully loaded Bronco! Still, given the amount of modifications done to the truck, not to mention the fact that it’s covered by a warranty, it’s not totally crazy. And given it’s limited production numbers, the truck might actually be worth money someday to a collector, with a bidding war on BaT after everything goes electric. 😀

The VelociRaptor V8 Bronco can be ordered directly from Hennessey or through any authorized Hennessey / Ford dealers.
