Check Out the VR46 Ranger
Champion motorcycle road racer Valentino Rossi designed the limited edition pickup truck with apocalyptic racing in mind.
All black everything
So this is what happens when a 9-time world motorcycle champion and Van-Sport, the company that builds the Ken Block Transit get together to make a great vehicle. The partnership is all about building these aggressive but tasteful vehicles that are available in the choice of Metallic Black or Magnetic Grey with a chunky bodykit, 18-inch wheels, and dual exit exhaust pipes.

Light up any road anywhere
How limited is the VR46 Ranger you ask? How about only 460 of these for the mainland Europe and the United Kingdom regions. Rossi himself gave the final approval of the design with plenty of off-road mods and the overall pissed off demeanor.

It's sturdy as hell
The murdered out 3.2-liter Ranger has new Pedders off-road 1.75-inch lift kits comprising new springs and shock absorbers, which are custom colored of course. The vehicle also gets a full exterior roll cage and roof-mounted lightbar to boot. The satin-black wheels are wrapped in BF Goodrich all-terrain rubber, a stainless steel dual-exit sports exhaust system.

All show and a little go
There are also new front and rear bumpers, new headlights, hood, wider wheels arches for a more imposing stance, and sidebars. Sadly, there are no performance changes as the 3.2-liter turbo inline 5 diesel remains as it was from the production line and only produces a meager 200 horsepower.

That's a nice cabin
Once the doors are opened you'll find special sill plates, Nappa leather appointed seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel for easy maneuvering. The thing is that Ranger buyers outside of our great country have lots of aftermarket options available to get their trucks up to a respectable snuff. The pricing on one of these for those Ford fans across the Atlantic will be £41,995.
