Ford Performance Interview | New Parts for Fox Body Mustangs and Bronco Raptor - By SVTPerformance

[TurboS]

15 minute video, Bronco Raptor coverage begins at the 6:30 minute marker.

"During the Woodward Dream Cruise, inside Mustang Alley, we spotted a ton of great new performance and styling components from Ford Performance Racing Parts. Former SVT Engineer and longtime Ford Performance Specialist Nick Terzes took the time to walk us though all the new goodies (including parts for Fox Body and S650 Mustangs & and Bronco Raptor)."

Hmm, nothing we didn't know about already. Would actually like to know what they have coming out as support commented they have a lot planned for the Bronco Raptor.

urgg, where's the 3.0 tune ?????

The aftermarket for the Bronco Raptor is one of the slowest aftermarkets I have seen for a vehicle considered this "hot"

Economies of scale I imagine; the smaller the population, the less profit involved for companies. There just aren’t many Raptors yet for companies to jump in. Trust me, I feel your pain!

Exactly!
Most developers try to pass their regular Bronco components off as BRaptor compatible. That's 50/50 at best. Interior items are typically good; exterior items not so much.

Production Numbers:

• Regular Broncos: 292,292 (JAN 2021 to SEP 2023)
• Bronco Raptors: 5,322* (APR 2022 to SEP 2023)

Where would you put your R&D $$$?

Are these considered the matte or gloss version? The matte version displayed on the braptor at SEMA last year by Anderson Composites (who are making these for Ford Performance) were a lot more dull than these.

Appears to me these photo's are Matte finish. Could appear different since these photo's are direct/natural lighting.

I am not sure about these. I guess if your Raptor was really tricked out then adding these would be a part of the look. I am happy with the OEM flares, hood and vents. Currently the cash has been flowing out the door so anything I do will be more practical like Foutz protection. Well... new rims aren't really especially practical.......... Interesting to hear what others think.

I think they look really cool, would Love to have them. However, I also like our black metallic flares and black textured plastic parts. To me, what makes the Bronco Raptor really awesome is the hardware that all the fluff above sits upon that enables it be a blast to drive on or off road. Unfortunate for myself, my budget will likely not support the cost of extra CF replacement pieces, especially those that aren't offering a mechanical advantage.
If the CF bits are financially feasible for someone then go for it, they are cool, but don't forget about a CF roof which if lighter, will be a performance, handling, and structural enhancement.

I like the CF look, but I see those flares taking a beating especially the rear ones. About that CF roof: can it stand up over time to the stress of off roading and what is the ability of CF to protect against long term sun exposure? Had a purpose built SUB ever been offered with one from the factory? I only see them some sports cars and such?

For me they are a down the line deal probably. From having a few firearms I can see how carbon fiber could transfer some of that engine heat better, but let’s be real. If it didn’t work as is they wouldn’t be selling them how they are. It’s for the cool factor and better heat exchange is my justification for buying. Ha. Definitely doing protection, level, wheels, 39’s first, but I’ll probably go for the hood and side carbon vents at some point.
