We were all promised a larger engine for Ford’s SVT Raptor, its take at the off road racing market. Ford has announced details about the 6.2 liter V8 expected to output 411 HP and 434 ft-lbs of torque. This would essentially make the Raptor the most powerful 1/2 ton pickup on the market. There is also a model called the FR Raptor XT. This impressive truck definitely packs a punch. Enthusiasts of off road racing and prerunner trucks will be able to get their hands on a very capable and desert ready truck right from the factory floors. However hold your britches kids… this baby is not street legal. Check out the specs below to understand why,
- 500 HP 6.2 liter naturally aspirated engine
- Six speed automatic transmission
- Electronically selectable 4×4; 4.56 gear sets; front and rear e-lockers
- A-arm with uni-ball front; four-link RR suspension
- 15-inch front/18-inch rear wheel travel
- Fox Racing Shox Coil-over with internal bypass shocks front and rear
- Chromoly “4130″ rollcage; extensive skid plating
- Full featured interior, including power windows/windshield and air conditioning
- Factory seating with five-point restraints
- Off-road beadlock wheel/tires
- Unique appearance package including tubular front and rear bumper and integral lighting
Here are some pictures of the 2011 Raptor standard edition… (the street legal version!)
