The new, petrol-powered Ford Ranger Raptor may be more powerful than ever, but it’s still a shame to be coming Bronco Raptor.
The high-po off-roader, not limited to Australia like the rest of the Bronco range, will have a stronger Ford tune. Twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter petrol V6 engine.
Ford targeted 400hp (298kW) with the Raptor, but CEO Jim Farley confirmed on Twitter that the flagship Bronco will output 418hp of power and 440lb-ft of torque – or 312 kW And 597Nm.
In contrast, the Ranger Raptor will produce 20kW and 14Nm less, or 292kW of power and 583Nm of torque output.
It is still the two-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel of the outgoing Ranger Raptor, significantly 135kW and 83Nm higher than the Mind.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

The hot new UT will arrive here in August, a month after the Core Ranger line-up.
Although the Bronco Ranger uses a version of the T6 body-on-frame platform, engineered by Ford Australia, there is no right-hand drive version available.
Unlike the new Ranger, which will offer a trio of turbo-diesel engines in Australia, the Bronco has a petrol-only line-up.
These include a 201kW and 420Nm turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 with 231kW and 540Nm.
The Bronco Raptor, set for a US launch later this year, produces already impressive off-road certifications of the original Bronco range with many changes.
Available only with four-door body style, the Bronco rapper claims 50 percent more torsional rigidity than the regular four-door Bronco for B-pillar cross bars and C-pillar reinforcement.
Ford says the Raptor’s High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension System (HOSS) 4.0 system has a position-sensitive damp design similar to that of the F-150 Raptor, and features a Fox 3.1 internal bypass semi-active damper that is unique to the front. And back.
There are also integrated reservoirs at the front and distant reservoirs at the back
On top of that, the suspension height sensor and the sensor at each corner of the Bronco Raptor monitors the terrain condition hundreds of times per second and adjusts the suspension tune accordingly.
