That moment when you find out a Ranger Raptor is slower than a 14-year-old 1.6-litre Nissan Micra...
And let’s not forget, the Ranger Raptor was engineered by Ford Performance, who was also responsible for the Mk3 Focus RS!
It makes you wonder why the 213bhp 2.0-litre EcoBlue bi-turbo diesel engine hasn’t even been uprated by Ford Performance for the Ranger Raptor’s application, especially as the Raptor is supposed to be a performance pick-up truck, and the same 213bhp engine can be had in a Ranger Wildtrak as well…

Well thats weight and drag for you
For real?
Wow, that’s terrible
The Raptor is supposed to be a more extreme model and a Amarok would destroy this in a drag race. Well the Raptor is better in off-road driving i guess.
Wow it’s almost like the Raptor is built to be amazing offroad, not on road
It is slower than the Mondeo Hybrid I drove recently, and that was painful! :)
Why are we comparing off roaders with road cars? What’s next? The chiron’s slow cuz a F16 is faster?
well i mean it is the sr model so that adds about 4000 horsepower
Yeah that’s why I hate SUV’s and trucks.
They have massive engine power but are still slow.
Imagine the 2.0l Diesel in a Micra… 500Nm front wheel drive in a 1.2 ton car…😂
That thing would go like hell and destroy many sedans and hatches.
Isn’t micra much lighter than 1.2 ton? It looks like a 900kg-ish hatch
Yeah but as jc said that micra looks like a scr0tum
Make the Micra weigh the same as the Raptor and then we’ll talk
