Hey guys, since Ford decided to call this this the Desert Racer, it's kind of hard to search for it... If someone else started a thread, I apologize, but didn't see it....Anyway what does the peanut gallery think of this? Does this mean 5.0L V8 will fit and match with the 10sp? Not in the market for a 100% off-roader, perhaps this opens the door to a more powerful powerplant choice...

For somewhere north of $200k, you can bag a V8-engined ‘Desert Racer’
It’s not a road car, but where this thing wants to go, you don’t need… roads. This is the new Ford Bronco DR: a purpose-built off-road racer that Ford describes as a “first-of-its-kind” limited production Baja 1000 desert race SUV.
What isn’t troublesome is the powertrain. There’s a 5.0-litre Ford Coyote V8 that “aims to generate” more than 400bhp, matched up to a 10-speed auto ‘box with a transfer case from the F-150. There are front and rear locking diffs, and special dampers with 80mm bodies, aluminium lower control arms, stronger front half-shafts, and a target of 55.1 per cent more front suspension travel and 58.6 per cent at the back. Basically, it’s a lot spongier.
