While there's plenty of appeal to owning your very
own ultra-quick pickup truck, the fact that you need to spend upwards of
£ 78,000 (US$ 96,470) in the UK for an F-150 Raptor might give you reason to pause.
Clive Sutton, one of London's leading supercar and luxury car dealers has
acquired five left-hand drive F-150 Raptors, though three of them have already
been snapped up by brand-loyal customers.
In contrast, US buyers need only spend upwards of US$ 48,325 (minus the US$ 1,195 destination & delivery fee) for a 2017 F-150
Raptor, which isn't such a bad price considering you get 450 HP and 691 Nm of torque.
Across the pond, aside from the high initial
purchasing price, buyers can spec their new F-150 Raptor with Sutton Bespoke's
supercharging package, taking the V6 petrol engine to over 590 horses, all for
the price of £ 10,800. Want an active sports exhaust? That's another £ 3,200,
including VAT. The priciest "option" however is the right-hand drive
conversion, for which Sutton Bespoke will charge no fewer than £ 36,000.
Optional extras available for the 2017 F-150 Raptor
include 10-way electrically adjustable & heated seats, dual-zone climate
control, a 360-degree camera system, twin-panel 'moonroofs' and a trailer
towing package with Ford's Backup Assist technology.
If you happen to pass by Clive Sutton's facility in
St John's Wood, London, you could feast your eyes on the two remaining F-150
Raptors, a SuperCab in Lightning Blue and a SuperCrew in Shadow Black.
