Australian tuning specialist Killa Conversions & Performance has officially launched its most powerful creation yet: a 750hp (560kW), supercharged V8 Ford Ranger Raptor, dubbed the Raptr8 S.

Announced via the company’s social media, the Raptr8 S is powered by a Gen 3 5.0-litre Coyote V8 paired with a Roush supercharger, producing 750hp (560kW) and 670 lb-ft (907Nm) of torque. To handle the extra muscle, the standard transmission is swapped for the more robust 10R80 10-speed automatic, commonly found in higher-performance Ford models.

“It’s what you’ve been waiting for… the only way to make your next-gen Raptor sound good. Plus it gets a huge gain in power!,” Killa said on its Facebook page.

The engine and transmission upgrade package is priced at $AU89,000 fully installed. When combined with the cost of a new next-gen Ranger Raptor, the full vehicle comes to approximately $AU190,000. Killa Conversions positions this as a serious performance bargain, especially when compared to imported full-size V8 utes.

“Now if you compare that to a Ram TRX at $260,000 or an F-150 Raptor R at $360,000, a brand new next-gen Raptor with the engine swap will be around $190,000 and will outperform the other two in nearly every way,” Killa said in a statement.

This isn’t Killa Conversions’ first crack at building the Raptor Ford wouldn’t. In 2021, they developed the original Raptor8, a V8-swapped version of the first-generation Ranger Raptor. That build used a Ford Performance 5.0-litre Coyote crate engine producing 345kW and 570Nm, retrofitted with custom mounts, electronics integration, and full ADR compliance.

The project retained the factory Fox suspension but added spacers, a beefed-up transmission, custom exhaust, and optional Pedders brakes. Despite its complexity, the result looked and drove like a factory product – only with V8 power and a deep growl to match.

The new Raptr8 S builds on that legacy with even more power, better refinement, and a focus on keeping factory systems like terrain modes, stability control, and autonomous braking fully operational. While the suspension and brakes remain stock in the base package, upgrades are available.

It may not wear a factory badge, but the Raptr8 S is as close as it gets to the Ranger Raptor R fans have been waiting for.
