Sure, a V8 sounds great and everyone loves the rumble of the 5.0-litre V8 we’ve got in the Mustang, but it’s not the right motor for [the Raptor].
“The 3.0-litre V6 makes torque in the right spots and gives you a lot more punch down low from the turbocharging, where you really need it off road.”“At the core of any Raptor, it’s got to be exceptional off road. But what we’ve always wanted is for it to work everywhere. It’s no use having a car that’s phenomenal off road but then tiring and exhausting on road.
