A cross between the Shelby GT500 and Desert Runner, the 2023 Ford Raptor R is an amazing machine that can work as a drag racer, Baja 1000 entry, or a regular truck. Under the hood is Shelby’s supercharged 5.2-litre V8 with 700 hp. The transmission has 10 speeds, making it capable of addressing any type of driving (via Ford).

The rest of the Raptor R’s package is equally impressive. Heavy-duty chassis, special shocks, massive tires, and brakes all make it a modern, street-legal monster truck. The result is also fantastic: the 2023 Raptor R can outrun almost a brand-new Mustang GT and cross the desert at alarming speeds.
