Before taking to European roads, the new Ford Ranger Raptor is the first ever vehicle revealed at Europe’s largest video gaming event, Gamescom, located at Cologne in Germany, writes Trish Whelan.
Ford also revealed Ranger Raptor will be added to the upcoming Xbox open-world racing game Forza Horizon 4, which will be released worldwide on 2 October. The high-performance pick-up, which tore up the track at Goodwood Festival of Speed, will soon offer gamers hours of dirt-churning excitement on virtual racetracks.
Ford say the new Ranger Raptor, the toughest version of Europe’s best-selling pick-up, is the ultimate performance utility vehicle that offers the best of both worlds. The heavy-duty suspension tames rough tracks and also delivers a smooth ride in urban areas and on motorways.
At Gamescom, Ford also announced its intention to work with the gaming community to engage in the design of future Ford Performance cars. The Project P1 Design Challenge will launch later this year.
