Raptor an awesome experience

F

ord revealed its beefed-up Ranger, the Raptor, in Bangkok recently, which will be launched in New Zealand later this year with prices announced closer to

sale date.

While the more urban-favoured Ford Ranger has been New Zealand’s number one vehicle for three years in a row, the Raptor has been designed for tougher offroading.

The Ranger Raptor includes standard front and rear Fox Racing Shox shock absorbers for high speeds off-road.

It has increased ride height, a wider track and improved approach and departure angles for extreme off-road capability and stability.

The 2018 Raptor also gets a new powertrain of a 2-litre bi-turbo diesel engine, paired with a 10-speed transmission that provides closer gear ratios over a wider span.

Despite its smaller capacity compared to current Ranger models available in New Zealand, the engine produces 157kW of power and 500Nm of torque, making it the most powerful in the line up compared with the 470Nm 3.2-litre diesel Ranger Wildtrak.

Designed by Ford Performance, the company says Raptor has been configured specifically for customers in Asia Pacific, with the first models arriving in New Zealand in Q3 this year.

Ford Performance chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi, said the name Raptor is inher-

capability of the range of vehicles it comes from and carries the unmistakable Ford Performance DNA appearance,” he said.

ited from the Ford F-150 Raptor.

“Just like its predecessor the F-150 Raptor, the Ranger Raptor builds upon the core

It’s grille is similar to the F-150 Raptor, while the frame mounted front-bumper system is designed to offer desert durability performance and resist dents and dings often associated with off-road usage, says Ford.

The Ranger Raptor is 873mm high, 2180mm wide and 5398mm long, with wider front and rear tracks at 1710mm.

Ground clearance is increased to 283mm, while the approach angle of 32.5 degrees, ramp over angle of 24 degrees, and departure angle of 24 degrees.

All-terrain BF Goodrich 285/70 R17 tyres have been specially developed for the Ranger Raptor with tough sidewall, and an aggressive off-road tread pattern which provides grip in wet, mud, sand and snow conditions.

The 2018 Ranger Raptor also comes with unique underbody protection bash plate made from 2.3mm thick high-strength steel.

Ranger Raptor comes with a Terrain Management System (TMS) offering six modes for various driving experiences, which can be selected via a dedicated five-button switch located on the steering wheel.

“It is amazing to enable this level of performance and create a vehicle that can provide off-road enthusiasts such an adrenaline rush,” said Hameedi.

“It really is like a motocross bike, snowmobile and an ATV rolled up into a pickup truck – it’s an incredible, awesome experience!”

New NSX not here - yet

P

roduction of the new Honda NSX hybrid supercar in righthand-drive form began at the company’s Performance Manufacturing Centre in Marysville, Ohio back in August 2016.

Honda Australia launched the secondgeneration NSX in October the same year as a strictly limited volume car sold through five selected dealerships – one each in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, West Australia and South Australia.

With Australian Luxury Car Tax the launch price was $420,000 with many of the carbon fibre interior and exterior components offered as options in the US being standard, including the carbon fibre roof, aerodynamics package and carbon ceramic brake discs.

Like all cars in the high-price brackets, the NSX should be significantly less expensive in New Zealand where a LCT doesn’t apply.

But Honda New Zealand still isn’t saying how much and where enthusiasts will be able to buy one just yet.

Back in early 2015 Honda NZ announced the new NSX would go on sale here during 2016 but the local introduction has been pushed back on at least two occasions.

However the car is finally coming to New Zealand with an early May launch date being announced last week by Honda New Zealand.

We asked the question of Honda NZ but

it is keeping the pricing, sales strategy and detailed specification under wraps till the launch.

But that’s about the only things we don’t already know about Honda’s all-new flagship and the successor to the original NSX that shifted many of the benchmarks in the design and production of supercars when it was introduced 1989.

The centrepiece of the new NSX is its highly advanced Honda Sport Hybrid

SH-AWD powertrain. At the rear, a direct drive electric motor is housed between the 3.5-litre V6 twin turbocharged engine and the nine-speed dual clutch transmission.

In addition, the front wheels of the NSX are powered independently by two parallel high-performance electric motors.

The NSX utilises the front-mounted Twin Motor hybrid electric motors to provide electronic torque vectoring that achieves dynamic, instantaneous and continuous

distribution of electric motor torque to enhance the precision of handling and cornering performance in all driving situations.

Honda’s V6 turbocharged petrol engine develops a very nice 373kW from 65007000rpm and has 550Nm of torque from 2000-6000rpm.

The total combined output of the hybrid system is estimated to be 427kW with 646Nm of torque.

ATTRACT ATTENTION, NOT INTEREST. Standing out couldn’t be easier in the iconic MINI 3-Door or MINI 5-Door Hatch, now available with an attractive finance offer. Make the icon your own with its many customisable features, then get behind the wheel and experience the unique, go-kart handling.

A rhapsody in blue A

n award-filled year on from its world premiere at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show, the McLaren 720S is again taking the Geneva spotlight with a breathtaking-in-blue bespoke creation from McLaren Special Operations.

Combining the deepest of deep blue paint finishes specially formulated for the car with a classic Saddle Tan leather interior, the McLaren 720S in Atlantic Blue

by MSO presents the dynamism of the McLaren Super Series wrapped up in a timeless, luxury-accented allure.

McLaren Special Operations’ latest creation comes a year after MSO’s first bespoke project on the second-generation Super Series, the 720S Velocity by MSO, which was shown in Geneva in 2017.

With a fusion of Volcano Red and Nerello Red paint colours, its explosive looks more than matched its performance.

In the 12 months since – during which time the 720S has garnered five-star road test verdicts as well as awards including the world’s most beautiful supercar – few of the nearly 1500 McLaren 720S delivered since launch have not borne at least some MSO influence.

The earliest

build allocation for a ‘standard’ car is currently July of this year.

The Atlantic Blue body provides a fresh interpretation of the ‘shrink-wrapped’ design language introduced for the 720S, which features innovative aerodynamics, smoothly sculpted surfaces and iconic double-hinged dihedral doors.

Commissioned for the 88th Geneva Motor Show, this latest MSO project showcases both the boundless extent of MSO’s bespoke craftsmanship and the MSO Defined range of personalisation choices.

MSO’s hand-crafted artistry is able to fulfil McLaren clients’ most demanding expectations.

Its capabilities range from crafting entire one-off cars to providing specific aerodynamic and lightweight componentry,

adding functionality and developing the special materials, colour and trim that are used to such stunning effect by the Atlantic Blue 720S making its debut in Geneva.

The second-generation Super Series marries McLaren’s most extreme take yet on supercar performance, with a plethora of luxury and convenience features in the glass teardrop cockpit that further reinforce the acclamation of the 720S as a supercar with the broadest range of abilities.

Providing the most focused driving experience thanks to innovations in aerodynamics, proactive suspension control, carbon-fibre construction and one of the world’s

most potent 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engines, the 720PS (710bhp) 720S can deliver a top speed of 212mph and despatch 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds.

None of this is at the expense of comfort: heated electric seats, keyless entry, soft-close doors, cruise control, electrically adjustable steering column and advanced climate and connectivity systems are among the standard features.

The cockpit is further distinguished by Carbon Black leather and Grey Alcantara accents.

The brakes – as on all McLaren 720Ss – are carbon-ceramic and for this special model feature black calipers with McLaren branding.

This unique McLaren 720S carries a price tag of £281,260.

Above T

and beyond

his year marks a significant milestone for a well-liked and iconic vehicle.

It’s just short of 70 years since the first Land Rover was introduced to the public at the Amsterdam Motor Show.

During World War Two the Rover car company had produced military vehicles, and when the war ended one of Rover’s “shadow factories” became the manufacturing facility for Land Rovers.

The Wilkes brothers, who were executives at Rover, saw an opportunity to develop a utility vehicle using aluminium, which was ready available after the war at a time when steel was hard to come by.

A prototype was developed in 1947 and Land Rover production began the following year.

The design may have been influenced by the Jeep and the prototype, later nicknamed Centre Steer, was built on a Jeep chassis and axles.

The early choice of colour was dictated by military surplus supplies of aircraft

cockpit paint, so early vehicles only came in various shades of light green.

Components produced for Rover cars, especially the engines, were ideal for use in the Land Rover.

Consequently Rover found themselves in the position of producing both upmarket saloons and utilitarian vehicles.

And in a strange twist of fate Rover often made more from the good old go-anywhere basic Land Rovers than from their luxurious cars.

The Land Rover was a runaway success and these iconic vehicles are now prized by collectors.

Many of those collectors including locals.

Edward Winchester and Steve Gielingh will be celebrating Land Rover’s birthday during a national rally based in Methven, which began yesterday and continues until Monday.

Both Edward and Steve, both of whom own quite rare Land Rovers, have been looking forward to taking part in the rally being organised by the Association of Rover Car Clubs, incorporating Land Rover.

Famous owners

M

any prominent people and celebrities have owned or have Land Rovers The extensive list includes the British Royal family.

Sir Winston Churchill had a Series 1 model and Fidel Castro had a few Land Rovers, one of which is bullet-riddled.

And in the 1950s our national hero Charles Upham V C and Bar bought a new one for use on his farm.

This vehicle will be at Methven.

Bernard Egan

MOTORING

Rover cars as well as Land Rovers will be seen about the district and Selwyn Heatley, one of the organisers, says enthusiasts are coming from all around the country and from overseas to celebrate this special occasion.

Selwyn goes on to say the Land Rovers we’ll see range from the oldest to the newest, with just about everything in between.

A varied and very interesting programme has been arranged for those taking part, which includes visits to local attractions and places of historical interest.

There are competitions during which driving and navigation skills will be tested and there are also opportunities for retail therapy.

The enthusiasts coming to our district are also keen to share their interest with the public and will be doing this by staging a public display at the Methven Showgrounds on Sunday.

It will be a fun day with a carnival atmosphere.

Land Rovers have always been adapt-

able and have been put to use in countless ways in all sorts of locations and situations, including firefighting.

The display on Sunday will include Land Rover fire engines and hopefully a previous Methven appliance along with military vehicles.

And during the day an example of a jet engine developed by Rover will be fired up.

There will be the opportunity for rides in Land Rovers which will no doubt be enjoyed by younger and older visitors alike and maybe bring back nostalgic memories for some.

A fun day like this would not be complete without a tug-of-war, so the Land Rover enthusiasts are having one, but it’s one with a difference.

Billed as people power versus Land Rover power, the tug-of-war will no doubt be interesting.

And so will the result!

The day will conclude with a Grand Parade at 3pm and local Land Rover and Rover owners who are not taking part in rally are invited to bring their vehicles on the day and join the parade.

Admission is by gold coin with proceeds going to Methven Care Community Trust.

Land Rovers are a whole lot different now than the originals which made their appearance 48 years ago which is as expected.

Land Rovers will always be iconic.

As are their saloon cousins, Rover cars.

And it will be great seeing quite a few of these fabulous vehicles.

Two wheels

M

any auto makers made bicycles before moving on to constructing motor vehicles.

Rover who introduced Land Rover to the world did

just that.

Ironically Land Rover have done the reverse.

They are now making Land Rover bikes.
