Vehicle Description
This yellow Velociraptor, whose worldwide debut aired on BBC's "Top
Gear," is referred to as the "Top-Gear Raptor." This is the actual
truck that carried Jeremy Clarkson across Canada for Series 22,
Episode 6, of "Top Gear" and is one of two created for the episode.
The base truck was conceived and built by Ford's Special Vehicle
Team. It was then shipped to Houston-based Hennessey Performance
Engineering, where a series of extreme performance modifications
were installed to produce this awesome truck. In typical Hennessey
Velociraptor style, there's an extensive list of aesthetic and
performance modifications. Under the louvered hood is a 6.2-liter
Boss V8 engine that now features a 2.9-liter supercharger cranking
out dyno-proven 623hp. The engine is connected to a 6R80 6-speed
automatic transmission. It has a 0 to 60mph time of 5.2 seconds and
a quarter-mile time of 13.6 seconds at 103 mph. The suspension is
augmented by unique SVT control arms, Raptor-exclusive leaf springs
and Fox Racing internal triple-bypass shocks. It rolls on 17"
Method MR301 wheels and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires.
Additional equipment includes a MagnaFlow cat-back stainless-steel
exhaust system, Hennessey 3" lift kit, Hennessey/FabFours front and
rear bumpers, N-Fab light bar bracket, Rigid Industries 50" light
bar, WARN VR10000 10,000-pound winch and an OR Fab in-bed tire
carrier for the spare. It was also treated to a full custom wrap in
yellow, as well as a window tint treatment. This truck has 25,281
actual miles and includes a Letter of Authenticity from John
Hennessey that confirms the truck's use on "Top Gear." CARFAX shows
