If there’s one pattern that appears to be catching on with automakers that I’m tremendous stoked about, it’s the entire “off-road everything” factor that we’ve already seen embraced by Porsche with its 911 Dakar and Lamborghini with its Sterrato. Now, it looks as if Ford may very well be getting in on the enjoyable with a lifted, all-wheel drive Mustang Raptor — at the very least based on a report revealed Monday by Car & Driver.
In case you missed it:
In its report (which treats the Mustang Raptor as an eventuality quite than a risk), C&D claims that this new Mustang may have a 500-hp 5.0-liter V8 paired solely to a 10-speed computerized transmission and, naturally, all-wheel drive. The Mustang’s chassis will function reside valve shocks, identical to in its bigger Raptor-ified siblings, together with a raise to permit bigger tires and extra floor clearance.
Now, Ford received’t touch upon future merchandise and calls Car & Driver’s story “speculation,” so clearly, we don’t know what this factor would seem like. Still, primarily based on the F-150 Raptor and the Bronco Raptor, we’d anticipate massive ol’ fender flares, in all probability some tasteless vents within the hood, clearance lights and certain a ridiculous sticker/graphics package deal.
The automobile is allegedly supposed to come back out for the 2026 mannequin 12 months as a limited-production automobile with a sticker worth of someplace within the neighborhood of $90,000. All of that appears fairly affordable, particularly contemplating the varieties of costs Porsche and Lamborghini are asking for his or her off-roaders.
