Roush and Biffle Build 525hp Custom Ford F-150 SVT Raptor for Charity Auction
Roush Performance and NASCAR driver Greg Biffle have created a one-off supercharged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, set for charity auction at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas.
Roush Performance has teamed up with NASCAR driver Greg Biffle to produce a unique Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, built specifically for the Sherwin-Williams Planet Color All-Star Charity Challenge. The custom pickup will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson event in Las Vegas in September 2012, with proceeds supporting charity.
The project brings together Roush’s engineering and tuning expertise with Biffle’s racing pedigree. The highlight is the installation of a TVS3200 supercharger kit, which lifts the 6.2-litre V8’s output to 525 horsepower, well above the standard Raptor’s figure. A Roush performance exhaust system is fitted to complement the power upgrade.
Further modifications include front and rear light bars, an aftermarket TireGate tyre carrier, and 18-inch alloy wheels shod in 35-inch BFGoodrich tyres. The truck is finished with visual tweaks reflecting both Roush and Biffle’s involvement, though the exact details of the livery have not been specified in the available information.
Charity event and auction details
This Raptor was built for the Sherwin-Williams Planet Color All-Star Charity Challenge, a programme that invites well-known automotive personalities to create custom vehicles for auction. Biffle’s Raptor will go head-to-head with a Toyota Tundra modified in a 1950s style by fellow NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer. Both trucks are scheduled to cross the block at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas, with all proceeds earmarked for charity.
How it compares to the standard SVT Raptor
The standard 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, launched as a factory off-road performance pickup, was powered by a 6.2-litre V8 producing 411hp. The Roush-Biffle build pushes output to 525hp, representing a substantial increase. Off-road hardware remains a focus, with the upgraded light bars and tyre carrier enhancing the truck’s utility for enthusiasts.

Auction and charity context
Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction is a regular stage for high-profile charity vehicles. This Raptor’s proceeds will go to causes chosen by the Sherwin-Williams initiative. The event draws collectors and motorsport fans, with one-off vehicles like the Roush-Biffle Raptor attracting attention for both their engineering and their charitable purpose.
Other custom F-150 builds
The Roush and Biffle collaboration follows a tradition of high-powered F-150 specials. Other recent examples include the Hennessey War Wagon, which also targets off-road performance with significant power upgrades. For more on the F-150’s evolution, see2010 Ford F 150 Svt Raptor.
