In 1991 John Hennessey began making a name for himself driving a modified Mitsubishi 3000GT at venues such as the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, the Silver State Classic and the Bonneville Salt Flats. That success lead to him modifying vehicles out of his garage and the start of Hennessey Performance.
John founded a new company in 2017, Hennessey Special Vehicles, with the mission of designing and manufacturing the world’s fastest cars. The company’s first vehicle is the Venom F5 which debuted at the 2017 SEMA Show.
Their latest upgrade is their VelociRaptor 400 Bronco, which amplifies the new, popular SUV. Hennessey’s upgrades results in 411 horsepower (stock is 330 horsepower) and 603 ft-lb torque (stock is 415 ft-lb). This allows this off-road vehicle to go from 0-60 in just 4.9 seconds.
Hennessey only plans to make 200 of these Ford Bronco’s for 2022.

About The Author
Growing up, my father always believed that every family needed a truck—there’s just something about having a vehicle capable of hauling anything at a moment’s notice. That philosophy stuck with me, and it’s been the foundation of my lifelong passion for Ford trucks.
While I’m best known for my work with Ford Rangers, I’ve owned a wide variety of Ford trucks over the years—including F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, and even larger rigs like the Ford Excursion, Ford Expedition, and a 1982 Ford Econoline Sportsmobile camper van. I’ve used these vehicles for everything from family transportation to towing car trailers and campers, and each one has fueled my love for Ford’s versatility and durability.
I especially enjoy the styling of 1970s and 1980s Ford trucks—the bold designs, rugged presence, and classic charm are timeless. Sharing my passion for Ford trucks, vans, and SUVs with other enthusiasts online brings me a great deal of joy, and it’s why I created Blue Oval Trucks.
This website is dedicated to helping Ford truck enthusiasts explore, learn about, and celebrate these incredible vehicles. While I share my expertise and experiences here, Blue Oval Trucks is an independent enthusiast site and is not affiliated with Ford Motor Company.
