Feb 24, 2014 08:52 AM EST | By John Nassivera

GeigerCars has introduced a new tuning program for the 2015 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor called "The Beast."

The F150 Raptor has one of the most powerful engines available in any truck in the U.S. market and has what is considered the most advanced suspension system in a factory production pickup truck, according to Torque News. The Raptor is also known for its off-road performance, offering more than any modern truck from any company in the U.S.

The vehicle's exterior has received custom tuning with a poisonous green paint-job, along with black features and 22-inch aluminum wheels, according to Nitrobahn. The wheels are combined with a set of Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain tires.

The Beast also features a 2.8-liter twin-screw Whipple supercharger, Four Wheeler reported. GeigerCars stated the supercharger will help the Beast by giving it a power bump up to 572hp and 525 lb-ft of torque.

The performance modifications for the F150 Raptor include a suspension lift package which allows a comfortable fit for the tire/wheel combination while also providing more ground clearance, according to Torque News.

Additional features to the Beast include a roll cage and auxiliary lighting units, Nitrobahn reported. While there were small changes to the cabin space, the 2015 module comes with power seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a MyFord Touch infotainment system.

Geiger kept the FOX Racing Shocks on the Beast, which are standard for all SVT Raptors, Four Wheeler reported. However, Geiger made the addition of a rear-facing LED Light Bar placed on a custom roll bar in the bed of the vehicle.

The Ford 150 SVT Raptor is currently only available in Europe, according to Modern Readers. The Raptor is selling at 99,500 Euro, which equals about $137,000 USD. The new vehicle is worth 40 percent more than the Raptor without the tuning update, which costs 63,900 Euro without customizations.
