Hennessey has announced a new patriotic special edition for the VelociRaptor lineup of vehicles ahead of Independence Day.
The Freedom Series 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, according to the company. The Freedom Series adds another dimension to the VelociRaptor brand.
“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,” said John Hennessey, company founder and CEO.
The Freedom Series package works with the new Shelter Green paint color – introduced by Ford for the 2024 model year – but can be added to any 2024-newer 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 package is limited to just 100 units in total across the three Ford models – designed as a patriotic tribute to U.S. service personnel, according to Hennessey. Alongside a satin black and gunmetal gray “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.
The Freedom Series model is also equipped with a U.S. 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,” the company stated.
Alongside employing numerous ex-service personnel, Hennessey also trains veterans through its long-running Tuner School program. 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.
