Spotted a Bronco Raptor / Warthog prototype?

[Parker]

Could be done - these look to be soft tops - but I think they are potential roll-over specials since they have a competition type roll bar underneath, and wanted to avoid the fiberglass explosion if one did roll.

I kind of wish Raptor was synonymous with the truck. Other high performance models should have their own names.....just my non-shower thought of the moment

From what I understand the Bronco Raptor is just a nickname and it will he named something else.

Warthog has been used for the Braptor for a long time, internal code name only? To early to tell.

Personally i am not interested in a V8. Fords ECO Boost motors, 2.7, 3.0 and the 3.5 all outperform the 5.0. What is the upside?

hey some people love the lubba dubbas and that's that

? It was SUPPOSE to be a GIF! ? They are a soft top & the front can slide back to a sunroof only position. The BEST part is that they have "Invisible Pyrotechnic Rollover Bars" that literally explode into place to protect occupants during an accident. But, I guess what i was getting at was that it would be easy enough for FORD to engineer a powered convertible soft top for the new Bronco. I think it's less of a matter of IF than When. ?

What do we suppose the bar is under the body behind the front wheel? Possible control arm for SFA? It looks a little wimpy for that, maybe a strut for the IFS? I can't say I noticed that part on an other Broncos.

Looks similar to the trans skid plate on the Raptors. It’s not tight to the body like the front/underbelly skid plates for whatever reason.

This is a great video:

You can see the extensive roll bar, in an earlier day you can see the ugly camo top coming off in pieces - they must have had to shut off the A/C in the rocks with no forced air flow at 106 degrees.
I have no doubt in 2022 they will get these fancy tops, they have plenty on their plate now.

The V8 is simple, smooth, lots of low end power

Spotted a Bronco this morning... stopped and talked to the guys to see if I could get pictures. This is the only one I could get. Thoughts...?

Edit: it's wearing F-150 Raptor wheels, larger front brakes, lift kit, BFG KO2 tires.

F-150 Raptor wheels:

Do you guys think Ford will beef up the body of this possible "new" bronco to be more of a full size one? The current looks pretty tight and small cargo space (4 door).
