The actual drag race starts at the 4 minute mark.

Could have done without the CSI Miami style graphics and editing! Computers haven’t had beeps and clicks since the early 70’s; do we need that and electronic whirring sounds every time a graphic displays a data point?

who won

Raptor by about a hundred feet

12.0 at 112 mph

Plus it hit speed limiter quite a ways before the 1/4 mile ended

Impressive!

Love it... Can the rev limiter be removed or adjusted (Forscan)? I wont ever own a Raptor, but just asking.

Very impressive!! An American pickup truck that annihilates British heart transplant patient, G wagon, Escalade V and British overpriced sofa on wheels and narrowly looses to Lambo! I wonder what would happen with a simple tune and removal of the speed limiter? In my book Raptor R is far better engineered than all of them considering it's weight and the amount of drag applied to it during these speeds. Heck, just install a tonneau cover and that might win the race against the Lambo too.

Seeing that sucker launch reminded me of watching BJ Baldwin in his Baja truck on YouTube. Bad ass.

The 5.2L is based on the naturally aspirated 5.0L engine architecture in the common Mustang & F-150. The power curves actually are almost parallel when overlayed and peak torque is at the same 4,250 rpm. Coyote based motors make immense power at the upper portion of the rev range, more so than any other domestic V8 on the market with its relatively exotic cylinder head architecture. Most V8’s die off up there, but coyotes pull right through to 7k. Throw a blower on top and not much is going to be able to keep up in the upper revs. Atmospheric breathing machines. It’s funny, the redline on the standard 5.0 F-150 is actually 6,700 rpm, 100 rpm higher than the Raptor R @6,600 rpm. Mine shifts consistently at 6,700 rpm on wide open pulls in sport mode and sounds incredible doing it. Wonder if that’s where ford felt safe with the boost or if power starts dying off above that. Whatever the case, I’m happy with my poor man’s 5.2L
