Thanks to for inviting us over for this race!
Calling all our American fans – this one's for you!
Mat's got his hands on the all-new Hennessey Velociraptor R 6×6, and he's going head-to-head against the Hennessey F-150 Venom 775!
So let's see how these 2 all-American pick-ups compare. Beginning with the Velociraptor, it's based upon the Ford F-150 Raptor R. This indicates it comes geared up with the very same 5.2-litre supercharged V8 that can deliver 700hp and 870Nm of torque. This power is sent to all 6 wheels via a 10-speed automated gearbox.
The Velociraptor looks definitely wild, and obviously, it's had a whole load of work done to it to include the additional set of wheels, consisting of extending the load bed, and the additional of an additional axel! As a result, this indicates it's very heavy, weighing in at around 3,500 kg!
Alongside it we have the Venom 775. This is also based on a Ford F-150, however under the bonnet, you'll now find a 5-litre supercharged V8 that can put down 775hp and 929Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels through a 10-speed car, and it pointers the scales at 2,187 kg.
So how will this one play out – will the 6 wheels of the Velociraptor move it to triumph? Or will the weight distinction drag it down? There's just one way to find out for sure – LET'S RACE!
