by AutoExpert | 25 April, 2023
According to recent reports, Ford is currently working on a safari-themed Mustang that will bear the Raptor moniker. The report comes from Car and Driver, and it appears that Ford is on a mission to "raptorize" a significant number of its models.
It is important to note that the report lacks any cited sources. Therefore, it is recommended to approach the information provided with a degree of skepticism. Nonetheless, some artists have provided renderings of the upcoming automobile to give us an idea of its appearance.
The report claims that Ford will only offer the Mustang Raptor with a 10-speed automatic gearbox and a 5.0-liter V8. When it comes to the suspension, one option is to outfit it with Fox Live Valve dampers and extended springs, which will increase the ride height by 2.0 inches. There are also speculations that Ford is planning to introduce a Raptor R version equipped with a powerful 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that can generate 700+ horsepower. Is that the case? It remains to be seen.
