Tuning company Hennessey has released a tantalizing preview of its modified 2015 Ford F-150: the Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged.

The vehicle is based on the 2015 Ford F-150 FX4 SuperCrew, and sports a black grille, black wheels, flared black arches and 33-inch BF Goodrich off-road tyres. Optional extras include a sturdier front bumper (pictured), a racing suspension, a winch and an LED light bar.

And what is going on under the bonnet? Well, the five-litre supercharged V8 engine has been given a better air intake, upgraded fuel injectors, a sports exhaust  and an optimized ECU. As the name suggests, the VelociRaptor 600 offers more than 600 horsepower – that is a rather frightening 447 kW of power and a double cab!

Hopefully Hennessey will soon release footage of the vehicle in action…

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
