RANGER RAPTOR REVEALED AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly news update covers a wide array of automotive reveals and spy shots, with a significant focus on the Ford Ranger Raptor. The reviewer highlights the Ranger Raptor's striking resemblance to its F-150 counterpart, noting its aggressive styling, increased ground clearance, and improved approach/departure angles. However, the initial reveal is for Australia and Asia-Pacific markets, featuring a 2.0-liter twin-turbo diesel engine producing 210 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. The reviewer expresses strong confidence that a US version is inevitable, speculating on potential gasoline engine options like the 2.7L EcoBoost. Other news includes updates on Toyota's TRD Pro packages, Nissan's Titan lift kit, a more powerful Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (hatchback for Europe, sedan for the US), and various other manufacturer updates and spy shots. The review touches on the potential for hybrid and autonomous technology in future McLarens and the delay of the Tesla Model 3's base battery production.
