And aside from the lights on top, the safety car you see here is a standard Ranger Raptor. Bert also needs to clear the track after crashes, so he also has a broom in the bed.
In Australian spec, the Ranger Raptor’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 produces 392 horsepower and 430 lb-ft. The power output of the US-bound Ranger Raptor has yet to be confirmed, but we know Ford is close to starting production. The Australian power matches the output of the US-spec Bronco Raptor, so we’re guessing it will be the same.
“We’re looking forward to surprising people with the performance and versatility of Raptor as the BP Ultimate Safety Car this year; it will be fantastic to see our flagship performance truck leading the Supercars pack,” said John Hatzimanolis, Ford Australia’s general manager of marketing communications, .
