Rugged and fast, the 2025 Ford Raptor T1+ is ready to take on the Dakar Rally, but it made a pit stop at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed ahead of the race. Featuring an advanced suspension, powerful V8 performance, and a purpose-built design to help it conquer the most unforgiving rally raid terrains.
Power comes from a naturally-aspirated 5.0L Coyote V8 that generates 500 hp and 418 lb-ft of torque, fitted with a unique dry-sump oil system as well as a tuned exhaust designed for the challenges of Dakar. It sits on 8.5-inch by 17-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 37-inch tires, paired with front / rear 355mm Alcon ventilated discs and six piston monoblock calipers. You can see it in action during 2024 Baja Hungary, which runs from Aug. 8-10.

Taking on such a demanding race like Dakar is a daunting task for all of us at Ford Performance, but we have never shirked a challenge. To embrace this challenge, we have partnered with the best in the world with M-Sport and Red Bull and I think it shows how seriously we are taking this project. The Ford Raptor T1+ is a stake in the ground for our global off-road vision – we want to take on the best and prove ourselves in the toughest places on earth. The lessons we are learning from Raptor T1+, along with competing with stock trucks in Baja 1000 and Finke Desert Race, will help make Raptor vehicles even better for our customers,” said Mark Rushbrook, Global Director of Ford Performance Motorsports.
