That Totally Awesome Hennessey VelociRaptor Featured On Top Gear Can Be Yours

Rest your rump where Clarkson put his.

Remember when Jeremy Clarkson, formerly of Top Gear, drove that Hennessey-tuned Ford Raptor, appropriately renamed VelociRaptor? Of course you do (series 22, episode 6, to be exact), and now you can own it and drive it like a madman yourself. Set to hit the auction block this weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Palm Beach event, the 2014 Hennessey VelociRaptor is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with a total of 623 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

It can blast from zero to 60 mph in 5.3 secs, and comes painted Pennzoil Yellow with upgraded bumpers, wheels and a special light bar that Clarkson described as a "collapsed sun." Previously put up for sale for $150k, a new owner is now being sought. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) organization.
