So far, this year has brought freezing temperatures and snow in places where it these are rarely seen, so it's a good idea to start upgrading your car to for snow-driving capabilities. Ken Block, for example, transformed this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor into a sick-looking F-150->ke423 RaptorTrax, which looks like the ultimate snowmobile.
The F-150->ke423 Raptor was updated with snowboard racks, a roof basket, a rear-mounted winch, interior storage for snacks and drinks, Recaro seating, an exterior stereo setup for blasting music and four burly Mattracks. The RaptorTrax offer the usual Ken Block paint scheme, combined with exterior-mounted Rigid Industries lighting to help guide the way.
Although Ken Block didn't announce any specifications figures just yet, the RaptorTRAX features the same Whipple-supercharged, 6.2-liter, V-8 engine as the base SVT Raptor -- possibly with a slight output increase from its standard 411 horsepower -- and a full roll cage for added protection.
