Description[]
The Ford Bronco R was a prototype Baja truck designed by Daniel Kangas of the Ford Motor Company as a vehicle to compete in the 2019 Baja 1000. The car used a number pre-production components from the then-unreleased sixth-generation Ford Bronco. The car was powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.7L EcoBoost V6 mated to a 10-speed automatic. The prototype was said to have been created in six months in complete secrecy. The car fared decently during the 2019 Baja 1000 until the midway point when the engine seized up and overheated; Ford then pulled the Bronco R out of the race due to severe mechanical issues. The Bronco R would then return to the race the next year, where it would actually finish in second place in its class.
The casting was originally intended to be a design for the Hot Wheels id line, but was moved to the Premium line in advance. Compared to the id casting the Premium casting does not feature the side steps the id casting has to allow it to be used on track.
