Ford F150 SVT Raptor
What is a Raptor?
By botanical definition it is a bird of prey.
By Ford's SVT definition it is the ultimate off-road, go-fast expression of the Ford F-150 pickup truck. The Raptor features a 6.2 liter edition of Ford' family Vee-eight engine, with 411 bhp and 434 lb.ft of torque. Driving through oversize tyres, the Raptor is most at home jumping dunes at speed.
With all the torque available, the Raptor can spin all four wheels on tarmac (in front of the police - opps, sorry!).
A reduced payload allows for the long travel front and rear suspension, featuring FOX shock-absorbers. The track width is increased to allow for the extra wheel travel, and fill out the beefy wheel guards.
The Raptor was initially released as a SuperCab only, with the short 5 1/2 ft box on the 133.3" wheelbase. Available now also in the SuperCrew cabin, again with the 5 1/2 ft box, but on the 145.2" wheelbase. The Supercrew has now proven to be even more popular, frequently featuring as a tow vehicle for dune-racers competing with their SuperCab race vehicles.
At first glance a totally pointless vehicle, SVT Raptors are nonetheless a lot of fun, sound great, and always turn heads. They are also the ultimate off-road F-Truck.
This Lego model SVT Raptor has been modelled for Flickr LUGNuts 60th Build Challenge, - our 5th birthday, to the 58th Build Challenge theme, - 'Order by Numbers' Nr. 10 - A Vehicle to Handle Any Extreme Terrain.
