Hennessey VELOCIRAPTOR Supercharged V8 Swapped Bronco announced

[Silver-Bolt]

I get 20MPG average in my car with the exact same power level, tank size and engine, you don’t drive around in boost all day unless you’re an idiot.

Does your car weigh 5000+ lbs, roll around on 35" off-road tires, and have the aerodynamics of a dumpster?

A tuned 2.7L 2-door Bronco should do 4.5 seconds 0-60 so this is a little weak. The TFL guys got 4.83 0-60 in a 2.7L F150

$225K...............yeah, okay! All I would want is a stock 5.0 paired with the 10 speed auto, that's it. I don't need any hood scoops, upgraded fuel injectors, superchargers, blah, blah blah. I'll pay $6-8k for the 5.0 and maybe $2k in labor tops. I may pay another $1-2k for an exhaust system but that would be installed by yours truly. And, none of this will be done until I blow up the 2.7L that it will come with. These guys are gold diggers!

Tee hee tee hee, I've been waiting for this can of worms to open. FORD claims they had no room for the 3.5 V6 motor. And this is the second company offering a V8 option. From jump i was betting there was plenty of room for a V8. For Christ sake a Mazda miata V8 swap is a popular thing.

So 1. I'm calling there is room for the V8. And 2. What costs more money to make. A natural aspirated V8 that they already have sitting on the shelf. Or developing new motor and fitting twin turbos on it?

$225K?? Nuts!

For that price I can stick with my regular Bronco and buy a Corvette C8... plus still have money left over.

Where? For what it's worth, the 3.0 EcoBoost (same platform as the 2.7) is the better engine and has a higher horsepower potential and durability than the 3.5.

For Christ sake a Mazda miata V8 swap is a popular thing.

Sure, the LS or the SBF are popular, which are both pushrod engines and 8" narrower than the Coyote.

Sounds fun for sure, but what about interior and top colors?

Sorry, Navy Pier interior only.

A bit rich for my blood, but I think I might be stealing the look of their graphics package?

No, please don’t.

The A-10 Warthog flies and provides amazing Close Air Support (CAS) even when shot to hell.

The Hennessey products have a history of failing miserably.

One you can count on to save your bacon.

One you can count on to take your cheddar.

Literally all the customers that have cars at Hennessy still waiting for them to finish after seeing this article

Maybe I'm crazy. I'd be willing to throw down a little $ for a diesel Bronco. For shits and giggles, put a turbo on it. Now that could be fun and useful and would impress me.

Does this Void the Factory Warranty ?
