Hennessey, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer and
high-performance vehicle creator, has announced a new patriotic
special edition for the VelociRaptor line-up of vehicles ahead of
Independence Day. Named the ‘Freedom Series’, the package comprises
military-style ‘USA’ and ‘HPE 91’ graphics paired with distinctive
20-inch Vossen off-road bronze wheels.
Alongside the more recent VelociRaptor Bronco, Hennessey’s
VelociRaptor F-150 is one of the world’s most popular modified Ford
Raptors with more than 3,000 produced for customers globally. Over
the years, VelociRaptor models have been bought by top celebrities,
rockstars, sports stars, and fun-loving gearheads – the ‘Freedom
Series’ adds another dimension to the VelociRaptor brand.
John Hennessey, company Founder and CEO: “For
more than a decade, Hennessey VelociRaptor models have provided the
power, performance, style, and sound that our customers love. With
our new Freedom Series, we honor America’s military and reward
buyers with an exclusive and patriotic limited edition that looks
mean, sounds meaner, and is justifiably the apex predator!”
The Freedom Series package works perfectly with the new ‘Shelter
Green’ paint color – introduced by Ford for the 2024 model year –
but can be added to any 2024+ VelociRaptor 500 Bronco, VelociRaptor
600, or VelociRaptoR 1000. The limited production ‘Freedom Series’
is priced at $9,950 in addition to the cost of the base model and
VelociRaptor package.
The exclusive new package is limited to just 100 units in total
across the three Ford models – designed as a patriotic tribute to
US service personnel. Alongside a huge satin black and gunmetal
grey ‘USA’ graphic, Hennessey adds a signature ‘HPE-91’ at the base
of both front doors – a nod to the founding year of Hennessey
Performance Engineering. To further emphasize the patriotism behind
the build, every VelociRaptor ‘Freedom Series’ model is equipped
with a US flag and mounting hardware to fly the flag on or
off-road.
Support and respect for service personnel is a significant
element of the Hennessey business. Alongside employing numerous
ex-service personnel, Hennessey also trains veterans through its
long-running Tuner School program. The unique training and
education course coaches students to become the next wave of
professionals in the automotive performance and racing industry.
Since 2008, Tuner School has helped to transform the lives and
careers of more than 500 students, including many service veterans.
Those attending Tuner School have the opportunity to work with
Hennessey’s range of high-performance vehicles and the Venom F5
hypercar.
Hennessey’s ‘Freedom Series’ package is available now on the
VelociRaptor 500 Bronco, VelociRaptor 600, and VelociRaptoR 1000.
All models benefit from the company’s comprehensive 3-year /
36,000-mile limited warranty. Interested parties can find out more
and place orders for global shipping through authorized Ford
retailers, or with Hennessey directly at HennesseyPerformance.com,
