A few days ago, Ford officially released the official model map of the Bronco DR edition, which is a car built by Ford for the 2022 Baja 1000 off-road race, and is expected to be put into production in a limited quantity next year, with a cost of 200,000 US dollars (about 1.28 million yuan) per car. In addition, Ford has provided 50 prototypes for private customers, each priced at $250,000 (about 1.6 million yuan). Unfortunately, the car cannot be legally driven on the road as a racing car.
It is reported that the Ford Bronco DR has been greatly upgraded compared with the ordinary version of the model, and the unnecessary configuration has been deleted. The new car has also been upgraded with off-road upgrades such as roll cages, anti-roll bars, full-size spare tires, and all-terrain tires. In addition, the new car is equipped with an additional cooling system and the ground clearance has been upgraded. Inside, the new car also reflects a strong racing style. With a quick-release steering wheel, barrel seats and a racing-grade control centre as standard, comfort features are reserved only for fan, all for lightweight service.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine, and the maximum power will exceed 298kW (400hp), which is also the strongest model in the Ford Bronco family. The drivetrain will match with a 10-speed automatic transmission with a transfer case from the F-150. In addition, in the chassis section, the new car was upgraded to an 80mm long-stroke high-performance shock absorber, with a 55.1% increase in the front suspension stroke and a 58.6% increase in the rear suspension stroke, making it have a 47-degree approach angle, a 37-degree departure angle and a 33-degree longitudinal pass angle, which greatly improved off-road performance.
