When champions meet, performance shines – and at the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, race winner Max Verstappen was in good company as Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 showcased race-winning pedigree off the track, supporting his ground transportation during the F1 event.

Proven in some of the world’s most extreme off-road motorsports, Ford Ranger Raptor stands among the elite in its own domain – from thrilling triumphs across the unforgiving landscapes at the legendary Baja 1000 to stunning victories in the grueling outback of Finke Desert Race.
