The aforementioned ingredients are mixed with power and comfort to offer a cocktail named 2012 Hennessey VelociRaptor APV (the vehicle is part of Hennessey’s Armor Performance Vehicle line).
"The VelociRaptor APV will showcase the highest level of protection, comfort and performance all in one vehicle," said company founder and president, John Hennessey.
Speaking of power, the APV uses a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 unit capable of delivering a hefty power output of 575 hp. This ensures that the vehicles has the power to pull away from a dangerous situation or pass difficult obstacles.
The vehicle can accommodate between six and eight passengers, depending on the customer’s preferences and will offer multiple top comfort features. The list of interior goodies includes Satellite TV, high-speed Internet, entertainment systems and mobile office systems.
The company has modified the vehicle so that it copes with the extra weight added by the armor.
"Adding armor protection to SUV's such as Chevy Suburbans and Cadillac Escalades can easily increase vehicle weights from 6,000 lbs to over 10,000 lbs," the executive explained. "We are excited to be able to apply our 20 years of high-performance experience to the armor vehicle industry."
Hennessey announced that it will also offer a non-armored version of the VelociRaptor APV that is aimed at offering a high level of utility and off-road capability for enthusiasts.
