The 2016 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor will most likely premiere at the the Detroit Auto Show in 2015. This is very good news as the company decided not to add to the lineup the new Raptor in 2015. This made many doubt the future of the company. However, the dark cloud has passed with the announcement.
However, the information that is available for this 2016 model is very scarce but there have been sightings of the car been driven around. It was however heavily disguised. But even with all the disguise and camouflage, rumors have it that it is bound to be lighter than its predecessor and perform the same if not better than the previous models. In addition, it will also have a redesigned exterior, asking it look frightening and fierce. As for the engine, t is pretty unclear what it will have. But given the high performance that the previous model had, it is expected to be even better. Read on to get the details of this 2016 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor.
Exterior
It will feature the same body as the F-150. However, rumor has it that it will be made from materials that are light weight. It will have a steel ladder fame and other parts will feature aluminum and other materials. The Aluminum and other lightweight materials will be used to help reduce the overall weight of the truck. You probably might think that this will affect the performance of the truck, but the engineers insist that the clients have nothing to fear as the performance is not affected in the least.
Engine
Ford has had very powerful engines on the trucks that they have been releasing. The 2016 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor features a V8 engine that has a capacity of 6.2 liters. However, with the new 2016 F-150 SVT, it is not clear if it will feature a new engine or it will retain this one. However, it is highly likely that they will change the engine to a 5.0 liter V8 engine. Given the weight reduction, it should still be able to generate as much power that is required and still be fuel saving.
In addition to this, there is another engine that is rumored to come to into play – the V6 Eco Boost 3.5 liter unit that has the ability to develop a 365 hp and a 420 lb-ft of torque. With the improvements done to the body, it is bound to be a very powerful engine than the one that is mentioned before.
2016 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Release Date
It is expected that 2016 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor will be released in 2015 as a 2016 model. Its price is expected to be about $46,000 or even higher.
Meh, this one looks alright. It may drive just fine but the appearance is far from what I prefer. Great for those who like a more “tough” look, though!
The taillights, fronts lights and haze light bulbs are tinted as well as clipped with current and common lays out. New design will certainly continue with the light weight aluminum automobile change that was begun last year so we could expect so a whole lot much more light aluminum parts in the brand-new variation.
However, unless 2016 Ford F150 is released there is adequate time for modifications as well as dealing with all does not have. Interior of the car are going to raise its attractive appearance. Some elements will absolutely be acquired from Ford Atlas, so we needed some resemblances in the log cabin. These are versions with XL, XLT, Lariat, King Cattle cattle ranch as well as Platinum trim degree.
