Good things do indeed come to those who wait. Never has this adage been more perfectly proven -Â because the impending release of the Ford F-150 Raptor promises exceptional performance for drivers.
According to Torque News, Ford recently invested $145 million into its Raptor platform. The reason for this investment was an engine transformation, with the company redefining F-150 power. Instead of the traditional V8 behemoth, it chose to fuse the truck with a twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost.
This decision was originally met with much confusion. Critics assumed that drivers wouldn’t accept - or appreciate - a powertrain change. The V6 EcoBoost, however, has recently gained considerable favor with North Americans, helping to fuel most of the Ford line and delivering enhanced economy. Its precision makes it an obvious choice for off-roading.
Its performance will also impress. Though no official numbers have been released, many believe that the 2017 Raptor will generate (at least) 450 HP. This is a staggering upgrade from the V8’s previous 411 HP.
The Novlan team can admit that we’re excited - what about you?
