Ford has just unveiled the 2021 Ranger Raptor Special Edition. A Europe-only model, it comes in limited numbers and features enhanced looks inside and out. Set to arrive at dealers in October, the pickup truck will be available in Performance Blue, Conquer Grey or Frozen White, with twin matte black racing stripes edged with red contrast lines. The front tow hooks sport a red finish, and the grille, front and rear bumpers, flared wheel arches and door handles have a matte black look.
The cabin of the 2021 Raptor Special
Edition has been upholstered in standard high-grain leather with red contrast
stitching on the seats, steering wheel, door cards and instrument panel, with
the latter getting an exclusive raceway grey styling. The Raptor name is
visible on the front seatbacks, and besides this, customers will find the usual
amenities present in the regular variants of the sporty truck.
Power is supplied by a 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel
engine, which develops 213 PS and 500 Nm of
torque. It comes paired to a 10-speed automatic gearbox, shared with the
Mustang, and four-wheel drive with Terrain Management System that improves
traction on challenging surfaces and includes a ‘Baja’ driving mode. The
suspension uses double wishbones at the front and multi-link architecture at
the back. The shocks come from FOX and the all-terrain tires are General
Grabber AT3.
Celebrating the introduction of the 2021
Ranger Raptor Special Edition, Ford has released a three and a half-minute
video named ‘The Good, the Bad + The Badass’. The film was shot on a Spaghetti
Western movie set in Spain and highlights the off-roading credentials of the
model that is joined by the Wolftrak, Stormtrak and Ranger MS-RT variants.
