In my opinion, not everything should be Raptor-ed. However, Torque News did a bit of research and came up with how it might be done.

Here’s What A Ford Bronco Sport Raptor Might Be Like And Why It Makes Sense

Summary:
1. Swap the engine.
2. Add a "Full Send" G.O.A.T. Mode.
3. Lift it, and make it less roly-poly after doing so.
4. Add WildPeak A/T 3W tires.
5. Throw in a roll cage, racing seats, lights, recovery points, etc.
6. Offer it at $50-60k.
7. Open Bronco Sport Raptor Off-Roadeo!

If they are going to put the 2.3l in it and sell it for 50-60k wouldn't you be better off getting any Sasquatched Bronco?
I really like the sports but for that money you are really limited in capability with the Sports 4x4 system. I think a slammed go fast Sport RS would be a better fit.

Love the idea. I have a '23 Bronco Sport Badlands, but these modifications are what I want on my next Sport.

I would drive this Prius. I will make an exception.

That's hilarious! I'd drive one if it had the Vulcan gun on it.

For arguments sake it could be a Raptor targeted for enthusiasts who would use them rather then all other Raptors which (excluding Ranger) are geared more for people who have more money then sense.

I simply don't like dilution, even extending it to the Ranger ... but I'm no expert and have no facts to back this all up. Just feelings. Like, for instance, even though I love the Everglades wheels on all the other trims of Broncos I've seen them on (the best factory wheel, I think), I don't like that Ford made them available, for the sake of those who got an Everglades to be unique 😛 But Ford doesn't need to operate on my definition of fair, lol.

Actually the Raptor Ranger predates the Raptor Bronco and even the 6gen Bronco entirely, just not State side, so maybe the Raptor Bronco is the dilution? As good as the Everglades wheels are I'm partial to the SAS wheels though they are too small. Ultimately no stock wheels are unique and in my opinion all the Bronco factory wheels have to much open real estate for debris to get access through them on an offroad vehicle.

You could have a Raptor Sport and a Bronco for less then a Raptor Bronco. A daily and a send it machine.

Just give me an old dependable P226. Money every time.

Glock 40, or sub compact 45 for me...actually, I also have the sub compact 9mm, and that lousy department issue one that I hate! All banned in Massachusetts mind you. Except for LEO's. What a messed up state. The majority of departments carry Glocks in this state and they vote to put it on the banned list!😆

My very "woke" brother loves his Prius. (I think--or hope--I was the adopted one.) For his 75th birthday, I had my graphics-skilled son photoshop his car, adding a spoiler, racing stripes, sponsor stickers ("STP" very prominently), V-rated tires, and a logo for the "Rick C----- Prius Racing Team." I then got some cheap champagne glasses from a thrift store and he etched the design in with a laser.

Unrelated to this, but I can't resist:
Q: Why aren't many Priuses sold in Alabama?
A: You can't mount a decent gun rack in the rear window.

LMFAOO!

During WW2, the Japanese called the F4U Corsair, "Whispering Death". The Warthog is Whispering Death, because by the time that you hear the BRRTT, you're dead!

In other words, a Raptor Escape.
