Ken Block is a man who has a lot of expensive toys to play with and the RaptorTRAX is probably the most shocking of all. As its name suggests, the RaptorTRAX features tracks instead of wheels, which allow it to go on tarmac, mud, gravel and, first and foremost, snow. Each track mechanism weighs about 350 lbs (159 kg), which explains why Ken Block decided to also modify the engine.
Although the standard F-150 SVT Raptor is a mighty beast, its 411hp weren’t enough for Ken Block, who had the 6.2-liter V8 engine fitted with a Whipple supercharger. As a result, the RaptorTRAX boasts about 650hp. As you will see in the videos posted below, that’s enough to plow through thick snow like it wasn’t even there.
Changes go beyond the addition of the tracks, however, with the RaptorTRAX also featuring a full roll cage, Recaro seating, off-road suspension, additional underbody protection and lighting, snowboard racks and even a barbecue.
