Developed by Ford Performance for fans of fast off-road driving, the first Ranger Raptor in history will be released in Europe from mid-2019, with Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBlue diesel Bi-turbo engine, which performs for the 213 hp and 500 Nm of torque, as well as the brand new 10-speed automatic transmission.
The impressive presence of the impressive dimensions and the extreme style of the top Ranger is supported by a unique Ford Performance chassis, optimized for fast off-road driving and all-terrain capabilities. Ford and Microsoft have also revealed that the new Ranger Raptor will star in the new video racing game Forza Horizon 4, giving even more high-performance fans the opportunity to experience Pick-Up's unparalleled capabilities.
