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…

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.

It is slower than the Mondeo Hybrid I drove recently, and that was painful! :)

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

Make the Micra weigh the same as the Raptor and then we’ll talk
