The Ranger Raptor will be available to play in the upcoming Forza Horizon 4 before being released into the real world, and even set up a 4D driving simulator experience that perfectly recreated the conditions of driving the actual vehicle.
Speaking at the event, Ford's Vice President of marketing in Europe Roelant de Waard said: "There’s a genuine fun factor about this unique vehicle, a rally-style pick-up that will bring smiles to drivers and gamers across the world.
"It’s also a stunning addition to the virtual Ford garage that already includes some of the most driven vehicles on Forza, and we hope gamers everywhere enjoy all the on and off-road thrills Ranger Raptor has to offer."
Dan Greenawalt, creative director of the Forza racing gaming franchise, added: "Since the Ford GT graced the cover of Forza Motorsport 6 in 2015, millions of gamers have driven Ford performance cars on Forza’s virtual roads, experiencing these impressive cars at their limits in Forza’s world-class simulation engine.

Grennawalt continued: "Almost 700,000 unique Forza drivers already added the F-150 Raptor to their virtual garage, and there’s little doubt the Ranger Raptor will be just as coveted."
They then played a very Fast & Furious-esque launch video to the tens of thousands of people in attendance at the expo, which you can check out below.
Forza Horizon 4 will be released on the XBox One on Tuesday 2 October, while the Raptor Ranger will be launched in mid-2019.
