Drag Race Showdown: Hennessey Velociraptor R 6x6 vs. Ford F-150 Venom 775

In this exhilarating showdown brought to you by the carwow channel, Matt Watson takes us on a wild ride as he pits the mighty Hennessey Velociraptor R 6x6 against the ferocious Hennessey Ford F-150 Venom 775 in an epic drag race. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, for a clash of titans that will leave you breathless.

The Velociraptor R 6x6, as its name suggests, boasts an awe-inspiring six-wheel drive system. Based on the Ford F-150 Raptor R, this beast is armed with a race-prepped 5.2L supercharged V8 engine that spews out a jaw-dropping 700 horsepower and a mind-boggling 870 NM of torque. It's a true monster on wheels. But wait, there's more! Hennessey had to go to great lengths to create this automotive marvel, extending the bed, adding an extra axle, and performing all sorts of sorcery. All this comes at a price, though, with the Velociraptor R 6x6 carrying a hefty $450,000 price tag and tipping the scales at a staggering 3.2 tons. But hey, when you've got the only one in the world, who's counting?

Now, let's not forget about its rival, the F-150 Venom 775. This mean machine packs a punch with its 775 horsepower and 929 NM of torque, delivered by a 5.0L supercharged V8 engine. It may not have the extra set of wheels, but it's no pushover. With a starting price of $64,000, it's a more accessible option for those who crave power without breaking the bank. However, it weighs in at a relatively modest 2.1 tons, making it significantly lighter than its six-wheeled adversary.

In the nail-biting drag race that ensues, the Venom 775 proves its mettle, leaving the Velociraptor R 6x6 in its dust. With a standing quarter mile time of 13.6 seconds, the Venom 775 triumphs over the Velociraptor R's 13.8-second run. But the battle doesn't end there. A rolling race from 30 mph reveals the Venom 775's superiority once again, as it pulls away from the Velociraptor R with ease. It's clear that despite its extra wheels, the Velociraptor R struggles to keep up with its lighter, more nimble opponent.

In the end, while the Velociraptor R 6x6 may be an absolute monster of a machine, it falls short against the raw power and agility of the Venom 775. Hennessey has truly crafted two remarkable vehicles that showcase the epitome of American muscle. So buckle up, folks, and prepare to be blown away by the sheer force and adrenaline-pumping action of this unforgettable showdown.
