- The tuner has tweaked the off-roader’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and added a new intercooler.
- Existing Bronco Raptor owners can purchase the Hennessey kit for $28,950.
- Complementing the engine changes are suspension and bodywork upgrades.
Hennessy Performance is looking to part ways with one of its modified Ford Broncos but interested buyers should be for the significant premium over the price of a standard Bronco Raptor.
The tuning experts from Hennessey started customer deliveries of its Bronco VelociRaptor 500 last year after many months of development. While we don’t know how many examples have been built, this listing is for an Oxford White example. Curiously, the eBay ad says these images are of a similar vehicle and not the actual Bronco the tuner is selling.

Several upgrades make the VelociRaptor 500 stand out from a regular Bronco. For example, Hennessey has installed a proprietary engine management system for the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6. It has also added a high-capacity intercooler and tuned the engine to produce 500 hp and 550 lb-ft (745 Nm) of torque. This gives the Ford a horsepower and torque advantage over the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 which is capped at 470 hp and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm).
The Bronco has also been fitted with an upgraded air filter and sits on 20-inch wheels with 37-inch off-road tires. It also has a front and rear leveling kit, new front and rear bumpers, and a matte black brush bar at the front. The exterior features several black Hennessey badges to let people know this is no ordinary Bronco. The listing adds the off-roader has been driven just 600 miles (965 km) and comes with a 3-year / 36,000-mile (~58,000 km) warranty.
Having the privilege of driving around in a Bronco like this comes at a cost, as the off-roader has an asking price of $144,950. To put that into perspective, a regular Bronco Raptor starts at $91,930 and Hennessey’s VelociRaptor 500 package can be purchased separately for $28,950.
