      Ford has showcased an F-150 Raptor R build at the SEMA Show.

      It includes a supercharger kit that boosts the V8's output to over 900 hp.

      Additionally, it features new wheels, a cat-back exhaust, and carbon fiber details.

      If the Ford Maverick 300T is too compact for your taste, you might be interested in the remarkable F-150 Raptor R, which has enough power to turn heads.

      Starting with the engine, the 5.2-liter V8 is fitted with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger that elevates the output to more than 900 hp (671 kW / 913 PS).

      This marks a significant upgrade, as the standard model already surpasses the Ram 1500 TRX with its 720 hp (537 kW / 730 PS).

      While enhanced power is always appreciated, Ford noted that the "supercharger package is designed to be CARB certified and 50-state legal, and comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty on Ford Performance Parts when installed by a Ford dealer or an ASE-certified technician."

      This suggests Ford is exploring possibilities, referring to the supercharger kit as a "potential Ford Performance Parts package" that "provides enthusiasts with a reliable route to superior power without compromising the vehicle's integrity."

      This approach seems beneficial, as Ford’s Executive Director of Accessories and Personalization mentioned, “We aimed to create a prototype for the ultimate factory-supported Raptor, blending tremendous power with the rugged capabilities that the name suggests.”

      While the supercharger kit is a primary highlight, the truck boasts several other enhancements. Notable features include a contrasting black hood, body side graphics, and various carbon fiber parts.

      It is also equipped with black Method wheels, a Borla cat-back exhaust with black chrome tips, and an array of Rigid auxiliary lights.
