Get ready to break the peace.
The new Ford Ranger Raptor is one of the most highly anticipated new vehicle introductions of 2023. Not only does the potent 3.0-litre, twin-turbo petrol V6-powered Raptor top Ford’s new Ranger line-up – it’s also the most powerful double-cab bakkie you can buy in the South African new-vehicle market.
Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) wanted to showcase the new Ranger Raptor’s talents on a grand scale and chose the Namib Desert in Namibia as a fitting location to host international and local media for a 4×4 off-road experience like no other.
The Raptor is positioned as a high-performance off-road vehicle and, as such, its powertrain and suspension are required to perform at the highest level. The 3.0-litre, twin-turbo petrol V6 engine develops a whopping 292 kW and 583 Nm of torque, all of which is directed to the permanent 4-wheel-drive system via a specifically calibrated 10-speed automatic transmission.
