Hennessey VelociRaptor 500 Bronco Could Land In Malaysia
Hennessey-tuned Bronco Raptor upgrade package pricing confirmed at USD32,950.
Take note, the above price does not include the purchase price of the vehicle itself. So it looks like this Bronco could cost more than RM500k in Malaysia if someone was insane enough to import it in as is.
However, please also understand, that RM500k is not that much money when you consider what a top specification Jeep Renegade sells in Malaysia (RM350k plus) and this is without the power of Hennessey tuning.
Here comes another awesome driving machine from the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer. This high-performance vehicle creator, has begun customer deliveries of its new 500 bhp VelociRaptor 500 Bronco Raptor.
Following cold weather testing in the snowy mountains of Colorado, Hennessey’s engineering team signed off the enhanced version of Ford’s factory Bronco Raptor enabling production and deliveries to begin at the company’s Texas headquarters.
Hennessey’s engineers, who have been ‘making fast cars faster’ for more than 30 years, applied their expertise to the SUV’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine to boost power and heighten drivability.
A new high-capacity intercooler and proprietary engine management system tuning improve charge cooling and increase intake boost to enhance output. Total system power is rated at a dyno-proven 500 bhp and 550 lb-ft of torque, earning Hennessey’s ‘VelociRaptor 500’ nameplate.
Last month, Hennessey’s team traveled to Colorado for low-temperature, high-altitude testing in the Rocky Mountains, where this winter’s conditions have been challenging.
However, despite snowstorms and freezing temperatures, Mother Nature’s challenges were no problem for the upgraded 4×4, fitted with Hennessey’s unique 20-inch alloy wheels and 37-inch off-road tires.
Meanwhile, there has been news of a copycat Bronco coming from China, under Chery, but no where as handsome.

Having completed an intensive period of R&D at the company’s private test track and in extreme conditions both on- and off-road, Hennessey confidently backs every Bronco build with its comprehensive 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty. Available for international shipping, the new Hennessey VelociRaptor 500 Bronco is also available now through authorized Ford retailers in North America and not Malaysia.
