Ford has unveiled images of their Raptor rally raid car set to compete in the 2025 Dakar Rally, with drivers Nani Roma and Carlos Sainz Sr. The team is determined to secure victory, although the final design remains under wraps.
Sainz Sr. aims for his fifth Dakar Rally win, teaming up with Ford once again. Roma, on the other hand, remains with M-Sport and Ford after their successful 2024 campaign with the Ford M-Sport T1+ Ranger.
The teaser hints at a Ford Ranger Raptor featuring vents, diffusers, and a covered rear end with the Ford Performance badge. Active testing of the 2025 Ford Raptor has commenced, with Ford Performance setting its sights on the Dakar Rally triumph.
Matthew Wilson, M-Sport director and Dakar team manager, sees Carlos's comeback to M-Sport and Ford as a major advantage. Carlos, a renowned off-road racing icon, bolsters the team's preparedness for the daunting Dakar Rally.
Initially, the Dakar Rally ran from Paris, France, to Dakar, Senegal, but safety concerns led to its relocation to South America in 2009. In 2020, the event shifted once more, this time to Saudi Arabia.
The latest Ranger Raptor is now accessible in the UAE, featuring a potent 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo EcoBoost Engine, ideal for tackling rugged off-road terrains.
Verdict
The availability of the next-generation Ranger Raptor in the UAE offers enthusiasts a powerful and capable vehicle designed to conquer tough off-road challenges with its advanced engineering and performance features.
