Ford SVT Raptor In The Sun In China

Ford SVT Raptor

A gray black Ford SVT Raptor in China, seen on a bridge in the sun in the Sanlitun embassy area in Beijing. The Raptor looked mighty as always, and the owned had glued an extra Raptor badge on the bonnet.

I am always intrigued by stickers with brands that I do not know. FK Massimo sounded very South American to me but it is actually a performance motor-oil company from Singapore. They got pretty girls.

Ford never officially sold the F-150 SVT Raptor in China but loads and loads of cars arrived via the unofficial gray market, mostly from dealers in the United States and Mexico. Probably 99% of them were of the four-door SuperCrew variant. Chinese Raptor buyers liked to take their friends and family in their super truck!

The first generation Ford Raptor SVT was made from 2010 until 2014. Power came from a 6.2 liter V8 with an output of 411 hp and 590 Nm. The motor was mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, sending horses to all wheels.
