The Ford Ranger is the best-selling pick-up in this part of Europe, and now it's got its most toxic version, nicknamed the Raptor. At the same time, this is the first Ford car to be presented to the public for the first time at Gamescom, the European computer games fair.
Ford already announced at the beginning of the month that it will be at the computer games fair Gamescom presented a new powerful model. All speculation was directed towards the European version Ford Ranger Raptor, which in the end turned out to be a completely correct assumption. The new pick-up player in the European market has a more 'muscular' look, which lends itself to an upgraded diesel engine.
At the heart of the European Ranger Raptor 'beats' 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with two turbines, which has 213 horsepower and 500 newton meters of torque. The Raptor has Ford's current available for download 10-speed automatic transmission, which is also found on the model Ford F-150 Raptor. The off-road capabilities of the Ranger Raptor are further enhanced with the help of the Terrain Management System, a system that allows us to choose 6 different ones driving modes.
If you were wondering why Ford revealed the car at the video game show, the answer lies in the fact that the new Ford Ranger Raptor will be depicted in a video game Forza Horizon 4. You will be able to drive computer Rangers from October 2 later, when the game will be officially released. The European Raptro in 'metal' form will have to wait a little longer, at least until mid 2019.
