A new era of factory-backed off-road power begins

Ford Performance Parts is pushing the boundaries of off-road power with its latest F-150 Raptor R project vehicle. This beast takes the already formidable Raptor R and elevates it to an entirely new level of performance. By adding a 3.0-liter
Whipple supercharger kit to the truck’s 5.2-liter V8 engine, output skyrockets from an impressive 720 horsepower to more than 900 horsepower, creating a truck that redefines what factory-backed performance can deliver.

This project vehicle is engineered and tested to meet Ford’s rigorous standards, ensuring that enthusiasts can achieve next-level power without sacrificing reliability or durability. The potential Ford Performance Parts package offers a dependable path for those who crave extreme capability while maintaining the integrity of the vehicle.
A Blueprint for Ultimate Off-Road Power
The supercharger package is designed to be CARB certified and 50-state legal, making it accessible for enthusiasts across the country. When installed by a Ford Dealer or an ASE-certified technician, the package is backed by a three-year, 36,000-mile Ford Performance Parts warranty, giving customers confidence in both performance and longevity.

“We wanted to create a blueprint for the ultimate factory-backed Raptor, combining immense power with the rugged capability that the name implies,” said Matt Simpson, Executive Director of Accessories and Personalization. “This is for the enthusiast who looks at the F-150 Raptor R and says, ‘How can we take it further?’”
More Than Just Power
The F-150 Raptor R project vehicle is not only about raw horsepower. It features a series of appearance and functional upgrades that make it as striking as it is capable. A gloss carbon fiber appearance package adds a premium touch, while a Borla® extreme cat-back exhaust with black chrome tips delivers an aggressive sound to match its performance.
Lighting upgrades ensure visibility on the darkest trails, thanks to a full suite of RIGID® lighting solutions. These include a hood hinge-mounted kit, an off-road driving light upgrade, and white underbody rock lights for added confidence in rugged terrain. Completing the package are METHOD Black wheels that provide durability and style for any off-road challenge.
A Glimpse Into the Future
While this specific project vehicle is for demonstration purposes and not for sale, it serves as a powerful signal of what is possible through Ford Performance Parts and Ford Accessories. It represents the next evolution of personalization and performance, giving enthusiasts a clear vision of how far they can take their Raptor experience.
Ford Performance Parts continues to lead the way in delivering factory-backed solutions that combine innovation, reliability, and excitement. For those who demand more from their trucks, this project vehicle is proof that the limits of performance are meant to be pushed.
