Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R
The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R race truck, patterned after the production variant of the forthcoming 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor, endured the punishing 41st Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, completing the 631 mile race in 25:28:10. Recognized as one of the toughest off-road races in the world, the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R race truck that joined in the Baja 1000 was a joint venture between the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT), Ford Racing, and Foutz Motorsports Inc. The truck joined race to test the durability and performance of the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor, which will be available for sale in the summer of 2009. "We engineered the F-150 SVT Raptor to be the best high-speed off-road performance truck available right off the showroom floor, and finishing the Baja 1000 proves this," stated Jamal Hameedi, SVT's Chief Nameplate Engineer. "Now we need to analyze all the engineering data from the race and apply lessons learned to the production truck, ensuring that the truck delivered to customers exceeds their expectations".
