SIME Darby Auto ConneXion-Ford (Auto ConneXion), has unveiled Ford Ranger Raptor Sport 3.0, the latest variant of the Ranger Raptor.
The company expects the Ranger Raptor Sport to make waves as the model celebrates its third anniversary in the local market.
Featuring a powerful 3.0-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 petrol powertrain, specially tuned by Ford Performance to deliver up to 397 PS at 5,650 rpm and 583 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm, the Ranger Raptor Sport is the epitome of enhanced performance.
Its capability is further supported by FOX 2.5-inch live valve internal bypass shock absorbers with race-proven bottom-out control, ensuring exceptional ride comfort and handling both on and off the road.
Adding to its appeal are beadlock style wheels, engineered with threaded holes to accommodate true beadlock rings for serious off-roading.
For everyday driving, they are fitted with stylish “beauty rings”.
The design allows owners to install beadlock rings, purchased separately, to safely run low tire pressures for enhanced traction and control on rugged terrain.
The special-edition premium pickup delivers a distinct driving experience each time, aptly reflecting the Ford Performance DNA.
The latest variant also features a new special Raptor decal design and a newly added Sport Hoop, enhancing its bold profile and reinforcing its sporty, off-road character.
