Lightning Raptor

[Vintage]

Ford Authority did a nice write up on the possibility of a Lightning Raptor. Love it or hate it, I think we're going see one in the near future.
Personally I'm not there yet. Growing up in the late 60's early 70's muscle car Era, I'm finding it hard to wrap my head around a electric motor.

The writing is on the wall. Ford projected something like 40% of all vehicles sold will be electric by 2030. I think Gen 4 will most likely be hybrid or even fully electric. The Raptor R will be special...may never hear that sound again on a Raptor!

The weight of that battery is a deterrent. Fuel cells maybe but batteries I am not convinced.

It will be interesting to see where the segment goes. In some ways, it is advantageous to be powered by an electric motor. No oil starvation issues at extreme angles for one. Maybe they can figure out how to make one of these be able to ford 40"+ of water with no intake.

I'll pass

I'd buy one in a heartbeat with the caveat that it has 500+ miles of real world range (which is probably 700+ on the sticker).

Pass on electric BS...good for woke latte drinkers that need head room for their man buns.

This right here is my threshold for going electric. I will not buy an electric car with less than 500 mile range.

Yep. Who knows if there'll be gas to put in it !
