Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor. It is quite obvious that he will end sliding the car around the Nurburgring.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.s he will end on the Green Hell.
with the 6.2-liter V8 still delivering 411 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 434 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. Some fine-tuning, however, has yielded a couple of extra miles per gallon on the freeway, so the truck's EPA figures now read 11 city and 16 highway, up from last year's 11/14.
