Ford Raptor R 2023 with Shelby GT500 engine announced its power

The Ford Raptor R 2023 is now officially on schedule to declare war on the Ram TRX, the most powerful and fastest production pickup truck in the world. A few days after we offered our detailed test drive of the 2022 Ford F150 Raptor pickup, which is based on a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine with a twin-turbocharged 450 hp and 691 Nm of torque, the top V8 Raptor was officially revealed today. the performance . Seventeen months after the release of the third and all-new generation of the Ford F150 Raptor, the higher-powered R version has now appeared, which received a machine derived from the Ford Shelby GT500 muscle car, which our colleague Suhaib Shashaa had previously tested under a special coverage program, but he received modifications To fit the pick-up vehicle.

The new Ford Raptor R 2023 truck is based on a 5.2-liter V8 supercharged engine that generates 700 horsepower (710 European PS) and 868 Nm of torque, connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and it comes with less power than the Shelby car The GT500 makes 760 hp (770 hp PS), but the truck's torque is higher than the muscle car that comes with 847 Nm of torque. Ford was unable to deliver higher numbers than the Ram because of the new supercharged designed to improve the engine's power range for off-road use, and the setup increases torque in the low and mid-rev portion to deliver more performance at speeds where customers spend most of their time driving.

Thanks to the luxury electronic suspension system, drivers can select a "Baja" mode that increases front spring pressure by five percent for better ride quality. No matter what mode the next ride is used, the Raptor R gets 13.1 inches of ground clearance. It runs on 37-inch tires that come straight from the factory. In the interior, the Raptor R gets standard Recaro seats upholstered in black leather and Alcantara, and real carbon fiber can be found on the doors and other places in the cabin, and the truck comes with a 12-inch infotainment screen with SYNC 4 technology capable of receiving Get over-the-air updates and turn on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
