If it happens, the Ranger Raptor R might borrow parts from the Bronco DR off-road racer.​

Cross your fingers and take a huge grain of salt because a rumor from Australia's Cars Guide suggests that the Ford division there is working on a Ranger Raptor R with a V8 under the hood. A pair of execs at the automaker seems to be pushing the company to build the performance pickup.

"There is a lot of that Bronco DR that is standard Bronco, and the underpinning of the standard Bronco and the underpinnings of the Ranger we’re just in the process of releasing is the same architecture," Trevor Worthington, Ford's vice president of global operations and programs, told Cars Guide.
