Looking to go for dune bashing this winter, we have good news for powerful pickup lovers. Al Tayer Motors has introduced 755 hp limited edition Ford F-150 Shelby and ultimate off-road Shelby Raptor Baja. Both the vehicles will be available in limited numbers at Al Tayer Motors’ showrooms in Dubai & the Northern Emirates, and Premier Motors’ showrooms in Abu Dhabi. For the time being, we heard only 24 vehicles are on sale, so interested customers have to hurry up.
“The F-150 Shelby is a stylish vehicle that offers more power and performance for cruising around town, whilst the Shelby Raptor Baja is made for extreme driving in off-road terrain. Perfect for the upcoming off-road season, these vehicles are sure to make a mark on the roads and dunes of the UAE,” stated Helal Hanei Omar, Senior Vice-President – Ford, Al Tayer Motors.
Talking about the F-150 Shelby, it retains a 5.0-liter V-8 generating 755 horsepower. The engine has a supercharger and high-flow fuel injectors to create the extra oomph. For offroad expeditions, it features BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, upgraded Fox Racing shocks and other advanced components.
The Shelby Raptor Baja is all about extreme off-roading, which is made possible through the four-corner adjustable Fox Racing suspension. This suspension is channeled through the high-performance BFGoodrich KM2 35/12.50R18 tires mounted to 18-inch alloy wheels.
Interested customers have to dish out AED 446,145/- (inclusive of VAT) for the F-150 Shelby while the Shelby Raptor Baja will cost AED 524,895/- (inclusive of VAT). Both the pickup trucks have a three-year / 60,000 km warranty.
