As with the Ranger Raptor, the Ford F-150 Raptor has coil springs on the rear axle. The entire suspension set was designed for off-road at high speeds, such as in baja competitions, so they have long travel.

The Ford F-150 Raptor is currently only offered with a double cab and has a full equipment package. We don’t have the final specifications for Brazil, but we can wait for items such as a digital panel, ADAS package, signed sound system and other luxuries.

Mustang GT Performance

Ford’s other launch for Brazil is the return of the Mustang GT Performance. This version will be positioned below the Dark Horse, which will continue to be offered normally.

The Mustang GT Performance’s 5.0 Coyote V8 engine delivers 492 hp and 57,8 kgfm, 15 hp less than the Dark Horse. The transmission is a 10-speed automatic, the manual came only for the limited run.

Ford also brought the Mustang Dark Horse SC to the Interlagos Festival. This version has a 5.2 V8 engine with a mechanical compressor, the same as the Shelby GT500 of the previous generation.

This model is in Brazil to measure the public’s reception, it is not yet listed for Brazil. At Ford’s booth is also a mockup of its future Formula 1 car.
