An excerpt from the AutoBlog review and test drive:

“Each VelociRaptor SUV begins its life at aFordassembly plant when it rolls out the sliding doors as a completedF-150SVT Raptor SuperCrew pickup. After traveling throughdealerchannels, it is delivered to Hennessey Performance for the transformation.

The team first cuts away the top of the pickup's bed, and the trailing part of the SuperCrew's cab, to enable new parts to be welded in place aft of the second doors. The new sheetmetal is seamlessly crafted into the silhouette of an SUV. After masking and painting, new original equipment tinted glass side windows from the discontinuedFord Excursion(the company last made the big truck in 2005) are purchased and installed over each rear wheel. Then a brand-new composite three-door tailgate, also from the Excursion, is surgically fitted to replace the Raptor's pickup tailgate (the rear tail lights and bumper from the Raptor are left untouched).

The newly enclosed bed is padded and carpeted, and modified Excursion interior panels line its covered sidewalls. Lastly, a dark headliner covers a thick layer of insulation in the roof. Hennessey told us the objective was to make it appear factory stock.
Hennessey offers its VelociRaptor SUV with the stock engine, or with an upgraded supercharged powerplant, thus earning the name VelociRaptor 600. The stock unit is Ford's 6.2-liter V8 rated at 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque. Even with the naturally aspirated engine, the SUV is hardly a slouch as the 6,600-pound SUV will hurry to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds (about half a second slower than the stock pickup). But those wearing the biggest belt buckles will definitely want the blower upgrade that adds a TVS2300 supercharger system, air-to-water intercooler, upgraded fuel injectors and a high-flow air intake. The result is 600 horsepower, and a 0-60 time of just 5.9 seconds.

So how does it drive? Would you believe better than the stock Raptor?

From the driver's seat looking forward, there is nothing to distinguish the SUV from its pickup donor. Yet glance out the side mirrors, or check the internal rearview mirror, and its new mass looks intimidating. But again, the illusion of size is misleading. The width of the SUV, its turning radius and its maneuverability in traffic are identical to the pickup – even though that's tough to swallow.

Step on the throttle and the supercharger's whine spills into the cabin through the firewall. There is only the slightest bit of hesitation before the big SUV starts clawing at its rear tires to launch the behemoth forward. I'd never describe the Hennessey SUV as quick; that insinuates something that is light and agile. Instead, I'd call it brutally powerful with a punch that contradicts its three-plus-ton curb weight.”
