The power of the 2017 F-150 Raptor can no longer be contained. It’s pushing past its North American cage and revving toward the world beyond.
Prepare for a new generation of all-terrain performance.
According to Motor Trend, the 2017 Raptor will soon be unveiled across the globe - with China proving its first destination. Ford is seeking to redefine its brand overseas, offering platforms that are (traditionally) intended only for the U.S. and Canada. Introducing audiences to its signature F-150 off-roader, therefore, is a perfect start to this new campaign.
The 2017 Raptor will soon dominate the Chinese market. This 3.5L powerhouse - which delivers 450 HP and 510 lb.-ft of torque - will be a unique addition to the county, offering Super Crew capabilities and premium performance. It will remain almost entirely unaltered (with the only changes made to its roofline and light placements) and will provide a strong counterpoint to the typical sedans and crossovers.
Ford is anticipating high sales abroad - and so is the Novlan team. Though the Raptor may embrace a North American sensibility, we know that its international appeal will be undeniable.
