Called on the Carpet: Raptors at the L.A. Auto Show
Ford’s razor-sharp factory trophy truck might be more at home ripping across extreme terrain, but the Blue Oval did bring a pair to the show. One was from Miller Motorsports Park’s Raptor Assault program, where students learn to maximize the performance of the off-road beast—check out pics of that baby’s sick carbon fiber hood in the pics below.

The Rough Riders Raptor was also there—straight from the photo studios at Barrett Jackson, where it was getting  photos shot for the 2013 catalog. It’s going to be auctioned off to benefit The Special Olympics Arizona. You can check out the build on their Facebook page.

Big time thanks to Jim Donnelly, who hooked us up with some great photos of the booth. Check them out below!
