Ford Offers Power and Torque Boost for Ranger and Bronco Raptors

Among its vast array of upgrades, the Ford Performance catalog has long offered calibrations for various vehicles that unlock extra power. Of course, one can simply opt to have a local shop tune their vehicle, but the beauty of obtaining these calibrations directly from the automaker is that they enable one to retain their factory warranty, rather than taking the oftentimes extreme risks associated with the alternative. Now, owners of the Ford Bronco Raptor and Ford Ranger Raptor have a pretty enticing Ford Performance Parts calibration to purchase, too.

In a new video from our friends over at Throttle House, the pair take an in-depth look at the newest Mercedes-Benz AMG S63. The new rig develops over 1,000 torques and 791 horsepower, which means it presents stiff competition for almost anything that pulls up next to it.

Gone are the days when four-cylinders were only for sensible compacts, as they now power some of the hottest rides around.

The naturally aspirated V8 sports car segment was once home to several manufacturers, from Mercedes to BMW, just over a decade ago. Now the segment has all but vanished, with the Ford Mustang GT Dark Horse and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray being the final bastions of a once great subspecies of cars. The common reason for the en masse exodus from the segment is that many automakers moved to turbocharging or supercharging to further the performance standards of their vehicles, and Americans seemingly falling out of love with the segment.

A true “sleeper” SUV these days is quite challenging, especially with the current trends in vehicle design. Many SUVs on the market, even those from brands like Kia and Hyundai, have designs that resemble fighter jets more than their simpler, more modest predecessors from two decades ago. These modern SUVs often feature aggressive front grilles, fake carbon fiber vents, and sleek, low rooflines.
