Bronco R Race Prototype Revealed for Baja 1000!

Listen to this awe inspiring roar ...

Now compare that with the 12 minute mark of the TFL video when the old V8 starts up ... I guarantee you plenty of people will favor that option.



Even if the V6 gets 20 more hp or 2 more mpg, the physical and audible sensation of the V8 is worth it.

The simplicity of the 8 compared to all thats going on with an ecoboost too.
And if I'm going FI, a midly blown coyote feels like at least triple the power
over a 2.7, out of the hole and has ZERO lag. Just what you want for stout
"bumps" in the rocks.

Hope these taillights make it to production or something close

Everyone has different needs.

Can't everyone just be happy we have something new to look at?

That being said, the body lines look great.

Holy shit this is awesome!

What a great way to give a sneak peek to the real Bronco. To have it running along with the Baja Bronco was epic. To utilize the R in BRONCO in red on the grill for racing is cool as fuck.
I love the boxy look. I love the hood. Looks even better then I thought. The flared front top side of the front fenders is such a great addition. The front grill appears it will be pretty flat and throw back looking. The side profile and angle of the windshield look great and I love the low profile of the top half. Even the tail light structure looks good.

Now I realize this is a purpose built Baja race truck so it's obviously a stretched two door body. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the actual length of the four door. Also, I'm not going to put much weight into the front suspension as again this is a purpose built truck. Great to see that its on the actual frame though. Hard to take anything away from the fender arches but it is interesting they are a little more squared off like the EB on here. Love the detail of the horse on the roof too.

Overall this is amazing.

4. I need a second job.

I initially read that as " I'll need a second one." ,(meaning you'll want two Broncobronco's and I thought, This dude has it BAD .... and I like how he thinks! LOL

I made it! To the end of this thread that is.. got a late start, holy cow y’all been busy posting!
I like it! if that stretched two door is built on the 4 door chassis, I think I’m changing my mind and going 4 door.
I think the 4 door might be better looking when it comes out as well as more practical for my application.

I'm actually glad that the hardcore rock crawlers aren't happy. If they got everything they wanted then I'm sure it wouldn't be what I would want.

Here's a profile of the Bronco R vs the silhouette of the teaser, they line up surprisingly well, but the hood does look elongated by a few inches and the windshield is much further raked back. Coincidentally (or maybe not) the A-Pillar of the silhouette lines up about perfectly with the panel gap above the front wheel well.

If you doubt the sincerity of my interest in a V8 then you really aren't paying attention.

I get the impression that your level of dedication to anything you claim to desire is pretty shallow if your opinion can be swayed so easily from FSB to "midget mobile" by a shiny thing. Not all of us are leaves blowing in the wind.


Just for reference, since you seem to have reading comprehension problems, here's the first post I made over a year ago when I joined the forum ...

I actually want to avoid the electronics that reviewers tend to go ga-ga for, and would love to have a V8. Modest amenities and simple reliable power. A V8 would be a big feature advantage over the competition.

And another one from a few days ago, before the shiny thing swayed so many other peoples' opinions ...

Sound and feel are a lot like looks, in that they have subjective value. No amount of faking it or dressing it up will be a convincing replacement.

There's hardly any difference ... we've been over this already. No matter how wide the wheel placement is, you're not getting a load more interior room.

Being 10-20' behind the EB doesn't mean **** when the camera was 300+' away. But I'm sure you'll keep telling yourself it does, so you can like the shiny thing and pretend it doesn't contradict your previous opinion.
