VelociRaptor V8 Test Drive with John Hennessey 

It's cool but not 150k cool. You might be able to sucker some rich bloke with no smarts into getting one but I think the rest of us are just going to go out and get an F150 with a V8 and do the suspension mods needed to mirror the raptor in terms of performance.

Basically this is how it should’ve come from the factory

Love the Shmee shoutout

Really nice. This is my favorite truck. Now that I’ve seen this one with the v-8, sweeeeeeeeeeeet is all I can say. Very partial to the two door version. I’d love to own one. Much like anyone else. Sounds awesome.

V8 engine - just like it should be.

Ford should've stuck with the V8.

This Man Has So Many Masterpiece Products. He Is A Genius!!.

Great video! I will never be able to afford one but I really appreciate you being straight on the cost.

Velociraptor is sick Man and that 6x6 for post Malone was epic! very creative! have yous done a wrangler 6x6?!

Take notes, Ford! This should be available for order straight from your factory.

This is a real raptor 👍

Best advertisement/infotainment within any auto category!

I really appreciate that you guys took the time to do a proper Raptor sway. None of this "lets put Raptor stuff on a regular F150 because it's easier for us as we didn't do the R&D to swap ideally". I would have liked to see this 750 HP swap in an otherwise stock truck. For a minute I thought you were going to beat around the bush and not mention prices as a down side lol. You did mention it though and I respect that. Awesome swap. Would love to see one with the swap, more setup for desert running and not mall crawling. Maybe one of you customers will order that way and you can share it with us. Great build Hennessey.

AMAZING!!! GREAT JOB GUYS.. I WISH I COULD AFFORD ONE... I JUST BOUGHT A TUNDRA SO, THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP FOR THE R&D ON THAT. CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS DO FOR IT!!

I've been actively following Hennessy performance since 1987. He's always been right at the top. Seeing him on RU-vid is a real treat!

Bad ass! So what happens to the original engine and trans? Selling those would sure help with the cost. God I want one.

You guys nailed it again, with a V8 just like it should be. Way better than Salomondrin's Raptor tho.

John with the shout out to Schmee! haha I like it.

Now all they need is a Ranger Raptor with this V8. Take my money!

A millionaire's truck. I have the regular Raptor and love it. That thing is in a whole other class. Very nice!

6:50 Still got that awesome supercharger whine

Awesome, but not worth no where near $150k.

How many miles is your guys work fully warrantied??? For that price how good is the warranty. All assuming the owner doesnt change anything under the hood.

HENNESSEY simply the BEST ! 👍😎👌

dude I wanted to see the speedo with the acceleration pass that gives a much better feel of the quickness

Now I just need 2 more raptor videos. 1) drag race/top speed race between 1st gen raptor, 1st gen velociraptor, 2nd gen raptor, 2nd gen V6 velociraptor, and 2nd gen V8 velociraptor. 2) A half hour video of this thing slinging mud from every angle.

Good morning ☀️ love veloc raptor great performance Conpany in the world 🌎

That is Awesome Mr. John Hennessey. Soon Ranger Raptor will be sound like this V8.

that extended cab makes it look bad ass, looks like a 2 door car!

Do the paddle shifters still work with the f-150 trans?

Hennessey does it again. It sounds and looks amazing! Do you finance? And where do I sign up?

Why don't they have a 6x6 Velociraptor with a V8 engine?

I hope they develope a modd for the Ford Edge st making about 400/450hp that would be awesome.

Looks unbelievable.

Would love to see one of these in a singlecab.

Yep Ford stick with the V-8. Hennessey good looking V-8.

The Raptor everyone wants

5.0 with supercharger

Definitely professionally done.

I need that truck in my life!! REALLY BAD!

This is what the raptor should have been made great job mr Hennessy

Is the $65k conversion fee with Hennessey keeping the original drivetrain?

You guys have a gopro looking at the speedo -- could we see that footage from the drag run?

V8 that's the way it should be.

This is wonderful.

How many weeks does it take to build, a work of art like this from a stock Ford Raptor?

My dream truck!!! Goals....

400 love the start up sound

You must be do a drag race between the velociraptor v6 vs the v8

Who seen the 6x6 video that post Malone just bought ?

150k...... Hell to the no. Amazing truck but "value" wise, thats a stretch.

Beast!

I WANNA SEE THE HENNESSY DODGE CHALLENGER HELLCAT

Amazing! Is this shot on the new GoPro?

The 3.5 V6 with just a tune can make more power then this. Why?

Nice I would love to drive that and love the name

Greetings from Philippines! That is a Monster Truck VelociRaptor. Its so so Awesome! Sir I wonder why there is no cover in the Air Filter?What is the purpose for not covering? Because most of the Cars has cover in all Air Filter. As what Mechanic explain to me that there should be cover to protect from Dust from inhaling. Does the dust will come to the engine if there is no cover? Also the sensor will be full of dust if there is no cover. Ford everest 2007 of my sister has cover. Every time schedule of change oil, Mechanic will remove the cover and blown by blower all the dust in the filter.

Would be cool to see a drag race vs a stock EcoBoost Raptor SuperCab.

Finally a real Raptor!

Damn, I need this in my life. 🤯

Those Hennessey 20" wheels are beautiful! Love the extended cab look. Wish they made a regular cab raptor with the short 121.9" wheel base😂

Nice truck

Wow. What dreams are made of

Wwwwooooowwww!!! I'd love a Raptor V6 on my Ranger Raptor! I don't think a V8 would fit.

Gorgeous truck! Would this be more cost effective to get a Lariat 4x4 and swap suspension and add bodywork + the blower... Are customers getting a core price for the engine & transmission swap? Found my answer, the factory raptor bodywork + paint match / factory raptor complete fox suspension + blower swap and LABOR is roughly 40k on top of the V8 4x4 Lariat truck... Silly to pay for the "Raptor" if you're going to chunk the engine and transmission.

Good looking truck! Sounds way better than stock! But... I couldn’t afford one in my best day!

That sound; holy smokes!!!

Love that v8

Sweet 💪🏾

I’m a Chevy guy all day. But god damn that 5.0 sings

I’ll add another 100K and get my H1 all metal from Mil-Spec !!!! Y on earth we need 700HP in pickup lol but it looks cute if it was under 100K 👍😉🇺🇸

Beautiful

Calling it 7.3 push rod Godzilla gas will be Hennessy new swap

Now thtz what I call Raptor ....V8!

Baja that's hilarious. (Why did I say this... I'm going to hell... lol) GO FORD!!!!

Nice truck.👍

Hennessey = Modern day Shelby

SHMEE 150 (Tim) is a great guy

This is a Real ANIMAL Ford Raptor

I love V8 engine

I love John Hennessey.

Good for you making the truck the way Ford should have. Twin turbo V8 would have been cool.

Yes ford should go with the v8 what i won't to know can they make a eco v8 with a turbo for the f 150

Love it!

That sound is unbelievable. I heard ford is going back to the V-8. They better. Everyone wants that sound.

I just want to know, in general terms, how they install a 5.0l V8 in the truck. I know it physically fits and mounts to the F150 frame, but how do they manipulate the ECU and TCM, so that everything works like a factory truck?

Monster

Soo good

Exactly how it should've came off the assembly line

Also somebody looking to get a Gwagon probably isn’t comparing it to a F150, no matter what kind it is.

Would it be cheaper to buy a factory 5.0 and supercharge it do whatever raptor has shocks tires bars lights brakes cheaper than 150$?

big machine

C'mon man.. no speedometer shot when you stepped on it?!

are you going to offer a conversion for the new 7 Liter Ford that will be the new Super Duty motor...

why you didnt put brembos on the rear? sick trruck tho' !

Can't wait to see the 2020 velociraptor with the 7.0

I waiting to see a Voodoo Raptor 😎

Love the truck. this is how the truck should be. without the muscle of the V8 it looks and sounds bland. no matter what cosmetics applied maybe. , can it be built for the southern hemisphere? right hand conversions.?? thank you.

I bet ford is going to put the current EcoBoost engine in the range raptor and switch over to the v8 for f150 raptor

Needs more boost
