Ford restricting the new raptor in the EU to 300bhp from 400bhp was just criminal. It feels almost as slow as the last gen over here. It would have wiped the floor if it was the AUS spec.

@ebrahimebs Год назад

Here in SA we also get the 400 hp

@martyp2138 Год назад

Imagine this race with the Amarok on standard suspension, road tyres and Darkside's 390/400hp upgrade vs the 350 tune, lifted suspension, box and AT tyres - yet it still gapped them all. lol

@TurboChild Год назад

1st question that’s popped into my head at the beginning is why have we not had any videos on Scott’s A7? 😢 we need more tuning content! 🙈

@blnkstefaans6892 Год назад

The European spec Raptors are restricted to only 300hp, the rest of the world they are 400hp. Maybe DD must tune one of these.

@rcindustries9534 Год назад

And change the driver...

@catlee8064 Год назад

Isnt the merc a re-badged nissan product??

@shawsie5780 Год назад

The V6 is a Merc motor I believe

@martyp2138 Год назад

Based on the Navara NP300 chassis yes.

@nedyahyakcam Год назад

The chassis is navara based. But the v6 is a merc motor.

@tstt34 Год назад

Nice work Darkside!

@AaronC684 Год назад

That 0-60 run you showed of the Raptor was an Aussie spec which has 100bhp more than the euro spec model you went up against.

@andrewfehrsen Год назад

Euro spec raptor has been crippled. I have one in South Africa and neither the Amarok or the X class would stand a chance

@joaco_crous 11 месяцев назад

@@andrewfehrsen actually, here in Argentina we have both Amarok and Ranger V6 with all the HP, and in drag races it usually wons the Amarok.

@brandmeer8931 11 месяцев назад

@@andrewfehrsen I drive the new raptor here in durban absolutely love it, my maat has the 2021 amarok v6 i could not keep up with i only beat him towards the top end thanks to mine being petrol. The old amarok has mental acceleration, fords gearbox cant compete. Still love my bakkie though worth every buck

@Dan23_7 Год назад

The Merc Navara looked the business but….. well done DD 🏆 💨💨 Brake tests are irrelevant in these tests anyway 😂

Great going guys, what a monster it would be amazing if you did it again but set her up for the road.

@99unclebob Год назад

Nicely done with the Amarok, imagine how much more whipping the X-class gets if you all were fitted with Michelin Pilot sport 4's, that Ranger Raptor has a different engine than what we get here in North America, heretics still a 3 litre V6,that has 400 hp and 430 ft lbs torque and Canadian pricing is around $78,000.00 dollars and up from there 👍

It's such a shame the car wow guys can't drive properly

@dimitrisivanov9285 Год назад

Isn’t that too much power for the gearbox ?

@DarksideDevelopments Год назад

Not at all, it's been this power for a while and the gearbox is still strong so!

@rcindustries9534 Год назад

Look at the start, the girl is sleeping.. change driver ....

@marieduplessis8943 Год назад

Make a video of an new G wagon v8 twin turbo vs. New Amarok v6

@DarksideDevelopments Год назад

Might be something Carwow would do

@RICHYSUNCLE Год назад

You mean Nissan navara as the Mercedes’

@jblaas2 Год назад

That must be the detuned raptor

@DarksideDevelopments Год назад

They detune it in Europe from 400 to 300bhp

@Dan23_7 Год назад

Oooo I’m first 😂😂 What do I win ? Can I get a DD chufty badge ? 😂

@JH-zq7xd 4 месяца назад

BS-Ford Raptor would kill any standard pick up.

@marieduplessis8943 Год назад

Please

@Techtiqal Год назад

If only they put someone in the Amarok that could drive...

@DarksideDevelopments Год назад

He can drive, the Amarok isn't tuned for proper launches though, it's a tow rig mainly

@spookyreaper1702 Год назад

My fav of these 3 is the x class the raptor is a ranger with a raptor badge and the amarok has always been super fast.🫡I think with some tuning the x class would be the fastest can tho vehicle or tie with the amarok

@nedyahyakcam Год назад

The x class is a Nissan for the price of 2 Nissan's. But you think the raptor doesn't count because its a raptor?

@spookyreaper1702 Год назад

@@nedyahyakcam it’s not the raptor the rest of the world gets. Here in South Africa we get the 400hp one so at 290hp it doesn’t deserve to be called a raptor. It’s a ranger with a raptor badge

@AaronC684 Год назад

@@spookyreaper1702 It's exactly the same engine, it's just detuned for Europe. And even in your SA model, it's still a Ranger Raptor. The base vehicle everywhere is a Ranger and it's then tunes, much like a BMW 3 series and an M3 - they are the same car with changes. So the Raptor name isn't just the engine, it's all the other changes to it that make it the complete package. So it is a Ranger Raptor that's been detuned. It's easy to rectify by having it remapped so the same or better as everywhere else gets. Also, lets not forget, lots of companies change tunes depending on the location they are going to - BMW E36 M3 was massively under-tuned for America compared to the rest of the world as just one example.

@spookyreaper1702 Год назад

@@AaronC684 yea I get you, with 400hp I’d consider the South African one a raptor because of the power.. but if I’m being honest the last real raptor was the 3.5 v6 one. Now these are all rangers. Maybe in the future it will be hybrid with 500hp but the weight of batteries will make it slower. The x class is just the nicest one to be in. That’s why I like it.
