The new Ranger Raptor Special Edition pickup truck

Image
  The Ranger Raptor Special Edition advances its "bad boy" appearance as the main actor in the spaghetti western "The Good, the Bad and the Bad-RSE". The video was shot on a real Wild West set in Spain. The  Ranger Raptor  is the ultimate series version of the successful Ranger series and was made for real off-road fans as well as for people who are looking for adventure off the beaten track. Developed by Ford Performance, in addition to an ultra-robust chassis, a reinforced chassis and corresponding tires, a high-performance EcoBlue turbo-diesel with 156 kW (213 hp) are one of its characteristic features. The Ranger Raptor Special Edition is rolling out to European dealers from October this year. Sales price: from 58,835 euros net or 70,014 euros gross.

This is because Super Duke R offers only 144 Nm. Fortunately or unfortunately, Furion is just a start-up in the crowdfunding phase - what does that sound like, and I can't help it, but it has done enough to hope for something concrete. This is also because, despite its performance, the Furion M1  hybrid motorcycle  will consume around four litres of petrol and since the M1 can be operated exclusively in electric mode, the French are talking about 480 kilometres in urban areas! Otherwise, the motorcycle is quite common,...

  Can freedom have dimensions? Quite if we are talking about the VW Caddy California, a completely new and completely amazing model. In a compact passenger car about 4.5 m long, a folding two-meter bed, a mini-kitchen with a stove, a set of outdoor furniture, curtains for darkening the windows fit in. A necessary and sufficient set to comfortably spend several days in nature, far from civilization.
