Manhart takes on the Ford Bronco

Launched in the 1960s, the Bronco was a legendary model in its time, like the Wrangler or the Scout! Arrested in 1996, he had since left the field open to his rival Wrangler, who benefited from it for almost 25 years. This year it made its comeback, in the form of a very successful neo-retro model. It is offered here with a block 2.7L petrol V6 with 335 horsepower and 563 Nm of torque. An outsider like no other. It is equipped with an electronic transfer case, as well as, on certain versions, a locking front differential and an anti-roll bar disconnection system.

Specific rims and brake calipers, bright yellow color highlighted by numerous black details, Alcantara upholstery and dark-tinted windows… A “bling-bling” effect that will please its preferred audience, in the Middle East. Under the hood too, there are changes. The 3.0L Ecoboost V6 that equips the Raptor as standard sees its power increased to 421 horsepower, and its torque to 680 Nm. A power gain enabled by greater air injection, and light electronic reprogramming of the computer.
