The Raptor is High Output, because it is not quicker than the regular 3,.5 EB in the F150, just higher output. Mustang can say High Performance because it actually is quicker and offers more performance than the standard 2.3EB in the Mustang.The other name part is why not High Output to match what they've already used in Ford Performance for the Raptor? Could be that this isn't really high output, but still confusing to throw yet another name in.

That 50% peak power increase along the curve is huge. With all they are doing it's very believable.I'm wondering how Ford is shaving around a half second off the 0-60 time with just a 20hp increase? I know tuning the entire power curve means more than just peak hp/tq numbers, but I'm skeptical of the performance gains on only marginal power increases.
Will be a fun car, regardless.
Yes they are. Here's mine:SVE SP2s are cheaper and lighter, just check those out.
This is one of those cases where the peak numbers don't tell the real story. With a turbo and intercooler upgrade out of the box, the performance will be a significant upgrade. For anyone who wants an autocross weapon, this with the Handling Package will be a very strong contender.So many head scratchers here...why not the ST name, why the retro looks for a car marketed to younger people that won't want them, why 20 less hp than Focus RS, and lastly, at only 20 hp more, how many EB PP owners are actually going to want to spend the money to upgrade to this car?
I guess this also confirms the 2020s aren't getting the refresh that was spied, I suppose that'll arrive next year.
If is mid 4 it's faster as the GT is 4.7 to 60 though the GT has higher top speed. Overall that's a big hit to guys like me that just bought 17 GT's.

The only Ecoboost engined car that doesn’t fall flat on its face is the 1.6 in the fiesta st. That’s a great engine and pulls Nice too redline, the focus st not so much lmfaoSad thing is you are not the only one. I will need to seriously consider it but I'm not sure this will even be available in Europe. And even if it's the earliest I will be able to get a hold of one will be in 2021 as my country is bottom of any order list :(
Same upper and lower grille as the California SpecialDid anyone notice the painted lower grille?
