The Spaniard has won the event with four different teams so far
Ford has released new images of the Ford Raptor rally raid car that it hopes will claim outright victory at the 2025 Dakar Rally , and while we’re still denied a proper look at the final thing, the team has at least confirmed that four-time winner Carlos Sainz Sr. will be joined by Nani Roma as part of the four-driver lineup.
Details on the Raptor-branded truck remain scarce for now, but we do know that it’s being built by Ford’s long-time World Rally Championship partners M-Sport. Will it use the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6? That’s used in the standard, road-going F-150 Raptor and in the long-serving Raptor T1+, which this car will replace.In the T1+, that engine produced 402hp and 599Nm of torque due to the strict regulations imposed by the FIA. But hang on—wouldn’t it be great if Ford deployed the 5.
“My history with Ford goes back to 1987, and I think I was Malcolm’s first factory driver back in the day, and I’m very proud of that. I’m excited to be driving the Raptor and to approach this big challenge with a lot of goals. One is to help Ford win the Dakar Rally.” With the 2025 staging of the event set to kick off in under eight months, expect a full reveal of the Raptor to be accompanied by names for the remaining two driver slots in due course.See Also Read Next PH fuel price update: P2/L rollback for gasoline effective May 14 View other articles about:
