The Ford Raptor is not only a great truck but also a great starting platform for builders to create something exceptionally special. Check out this particular modified Raptor that comes to us all the way from Germany.
The Raptor becomes something else
Ford created the Raptor as a performance pickup that would be everything that an owner could ask for and then some. The Raptor F-150 comes to showrooms with an EcoBoost V6, a potent off-road suspension and a nice luxury-oriented cabin that is filled with creature comforts. However, GeigerCars took the uber F-150 and has pushed things a bit further with upgrades aplenty.

A hotrod truck
GeigerCars' new version of the vehicle is known as the "HP520" and it does just that by boosting the horsepower from the stock 450 to 520. That new horsepower figure was reached by way of a more powerful intercooler, a cold-air intake, and a nifty ECU tune.

More than capable
With those performance mods, comes other upgrades in the way of a lift kit that boosts the clearance height if the truck by four more inches. The fancy new wheels are a set of bead-lock capable 22-inch alloy wheels that are wrapped in 37-13.5 R22 off-road tires.

Is there double the leather too?
If you'd like a more top-shelf interior level then you'll be happy to know there is a luxo package that can be had for a few shillings more. Once you toss out almost 10 grand more you'll get a premium audio system, a 360-degree capable camera, a satellite navigation system, and a security package.

That seems a bit steep
On the outside of the truck you'll get a bespoke paint job for added brilliance, a roll bar with a folding LED light bar and a custom cargo area in the bed. For the whole kit and kaboodle with the luxury package, you'll be paying a drink spitting $158,000.
