UK Police have a new toy to play with and it’s called the Raptor.
Police forces across the UK are set to trial Ford’s latest blue-light vehicle – a 170km/h, all-wheel drive Ford Ranger Raptor.
With its FOX shock absorbers and Baja desert race mode as standard, it has more than enough to keep up with crims making a getaway across gravel, mud and sand.
South Wales Police are among the first to trial the Ranger Raptor utility – capable of travelling off road almost as quickly as on it – which may prove to be the perfect tool to access some of the UK’s most rural locations.
And there’s no point trying to outsmart the police on-road, either.
Police are also evaluating a 250km/h Focus ST wagon, or estate as the Poms call them.
Both are the product of Ford’s Special Vehicle Preparation team, in Essex, which has added full Police livery with all-round emergency lights and sirens.
