ONE of the wildest off-road vehicles ever conceived will soon be available to buyers in Australia, but you’ll need deep pockets to secure one.

The Hennessey VelociRaptor takes the already nuts Ford Raptor, stretches it, adds six-wheel drive and tweens the turbocharged EcoBoost engine for up to 800hp!

The 600hp+ package includes upgraded turbochargers, high flow induction, a performance intercooler, stainless-steel exhaust system, forged conrods and pistons, upgraded transmission and ECU, and much more.

Melbourne’s American Vehicle Sales has secured the rights and approvals to import, convert and sell the Hennessey here in Australia, with prices starting from $505,000 and heading upwards depending on how game you’re prepared to venture with the engine upgrades.

AVS’s James Hill described the VelociRaptor as the supercar of the off-road world, but added: “Can you take your Lamborghini on the beach? Will your Bugatti carry your dirt bikes to Cape York? Will your Ferrari take you across the Simpson?”
