VelociRaptor 600 burnt to ashes...

Today at 1600 local time , our friend who imported a white raptor from the states and got his raptor installed and upgraded to Veloci600 kit at Heneseey just 3 months ago; got it burnt to ashes 3 hours ago..

Reasons unknown as of yet

but lets discuss ? Detonation? Air/fuel mix problem?

im not a grease monkey but i would understand if someone makes sense out of an issue

i will leave you to see the pics i got so far, more to come

Im upset and sad to be honest...

yes luckily everyone got out quickly

I hear smoke started to come out as soon as 5 min into the sand dunes

Driver had one steep hill to climb which he had been a zillion times before, but unfortunately smoke then flames .. they finished 3 small size fire extingushers but no luck!

Sorry for your friends truck. Should be a good opportunity to see how that Hennessey warranty holds up. Especially overseas....

yes especially when you wait for 3 months for this baby to arrive in town ! and see it burn to ashes in 60 mins !!!

This is a blow to be honest for supercharged Raptors... Myself was thinking to install a whipple after I just installed my Livernoise Camshaft kit; but now Im even worried about my cams may go in flames

Very glad to hear that everyone came out unharmed.

What a shame to see such a nice Rapor lost.

Really really doubt air mixture or detonation had anything to do with it. More like a fuel or oil leak. Glad everyone's ok. Sucks about the truck.
