On January 24, Ford officially announced the technical details of bronco Raptor and released the official map. Like the rest of the Raptor family, the car was built from the regular Bronco, and in addition to having a more wild and fierce design, it also made a significant improvement in power and passability.
In terms of appearance, the exaggerated wide-body kit makes the Bronco Raptor very recognizable, and it is also nearly 250mm wider than the regular model. The long-stroke FOX adaptive shock absorbers and 37-inch Bailuch tires give the car a minimum ground clearance of 333mm, and not only that, but the anti-roll bar can be disconnected by in-car operation during extreme crossing. Compared with the regular version, the bronco Raptor's approach and departure angles have also been increased to 47.2 degrees and 40.5 degrees, respectively. To accommodate large tires, the midwall section was reduced and cast out, and the additional vents under the fenders allowed air below to drain the air below at high speeds, increasing downforce.
The front part of the car is not only equipped with the iconic mid-mesh of the Raptor model, but also equipped with three width indicator lights. Compared to the regular version of the model, the heat dissipation port on the hood hints at its powerful power. In order to protect chassis components from damage during extreme off-roading, the Bronco Raptor is equipped with a thicker bottom guard than the regular model. In addition, the stout tow hook is also a standard feature of this car.
On the side of the car, the stout pedals under the doors allow members to enter the car, and it is worth mentioning that the owner can use the toolkit that accompanies the car to remove it before the extreme crossing. Not only that, but the roof, doors and fenders can also be removed through this set of tools.
In terms of interior, bronco Raptor maintains the layout of the regular version of the model, but is more advanced in terms of workmanship selection, in addition to the paddle shift and the driving mode knob, the car also adds a one-button into the custom driving mode function. In terms of entertainment configuration, Bronco Raptor not only comes standard with the Sync4 model that needs to be installed on the regular model, but also supports the B&O hi-fi system with 10 speakers for the owner.
In terms of power, the Bronco Raptor is equipped with a 3.0L twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of more than 294kW (400 hp) and is equipped with a variable exhaust manifold. The drive mode selection adds both drag and baja (off-road) modes, with baja mode increasing air intake by delaying the closing of the exhaust valve for faster throttle response. In terms of transmission, the Bronco Raptor is equipped with Ford's 10-speed automatic transmission.
A rugged body is also essential for a powerful hardcore off-road vehicle. To this end, the Bronco Raptor's body has been reinforced with several reinforcements, the thicker front and rear axles, control arms and steering system can withstand the impact of extreme off-roading, and the carbon fiber anti-roll frame above the trunk can increase the rigidity of the body by 50%.
The Ford Bronco Raptor, which starts at $69,995 (about 443,000 yuan), will officially open for pre-order in March this year and be delivered as early as this summer.
