IT’S common knowledge that the nextgeneration Volkswagen Amarok will be built by Ford, while sharing most of its DNA with the new Ranger. But many VW fans have also been wondering if there’s going to be a Raptor equivalent. Sadly it appears that this won’t be happening.

According to CarsGuide, Ford Performance vehicle programme director Ali Jammoul said Ford would not be sharing any of its Raptor technology with the Amarok. “We want to protect Raptor. I am happy that this is Ford’s decision,” Jammoul told Australian media. | IOL Motoring
