Ford SVT Raptor R To Get EcoBoost V6

The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine from Ford is one of the few developments that has kept Ford dancing all the way, the automaker is proud of that engine, and admits the fact open heartedly. Though, the EcoBoost V6 has not been seen in a lot of vehicles and at present time it is pumping under the hoods of Lincoln MKS, Taurus SHO, Flex and MKT and hence not much has been known about this brawny beast. But very soon will we have the giant power-plant powering the Ford SVT Raptor R pick-up, though, it is expected to be a variant of the same, but is expected to have the same potential as the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 power-generator.

What’s On The Cards?

Sources from Ford has already hearing the roar of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, but what reports says is that the Ford will be offering the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine only on the top-of-the-range Ford F-150, that too in the model year 2011. under F-150’s hood the brawny 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine will be thumping 400 horsepower of maximum torque and 400 pound-feet of maximum torque. But the sources have confirmed that the output figures for Raptor R will also be the same, and can even be higher.

Currently the Raptor R is powered by a 6.2 liter engine generating maximum power of about 500 horsepower; this is the latest custom variant of Ford’s all new V8 engine. So its quite clear that in the modern world of power and style Ford will not be backing up in terms of power, especially when its about the without fear or favor racing truck for example the Ford Raptor R.

Our reports also suggest that there are chances that the mighty Ford Raptor R EcoBoost might be seen competing in this year’s Best In The Desert off-road racing series, and also could be seen in Baja 1000 taking place later this year. So to conclude things up we now are bracing our self for the brutal pickup truck from Ford having a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine pumping under the hood, entering the market. If you are a pick-up truck fan or just love the roaring sound of those powerful beasts, then prepare yourself for something really special. The Ford Raptor R powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine certainly is not news for the people with weak hearts, and you are not the one, than wait till it enters the market.
