Jesse James’ Hennessey VelociRaptor 575 Ford Raptor

Ken Block’s matte-black Raptor got attention for its looks, but Jesse James went the other direction and worried about what is under the hood. His Raptor went to Hennessey to become a VelociRaptor 575.

Raptors are quick from the factory, but Hennessey’s package adds a centrifugal supercharger, an air-to-air intercooler, a high-flow air filter, and a performance fuel injector, bringing output up to 575 horsepower and 542 lb-ft of torque.
