Ken Block's F-150 SVT Raptor, dubbed RaptorTRAX, makes 650 horsepower—and that's not even the most insane thing about the truck. It turns out Block's into more than slinging high-horsepower, all-wheel drive hatchbacks around. The dude's also big time into snowboarding, and whipped up this beast to get him and three buddies into the backcountry. Now he's been kind enough to give us all a quick walkaround of the world's fastest snowcat.

The truck started life as a stock 6.2-liter Raptor. Ford threw in a full cage that spans the cab and the bed, and Block's army of wrenches bolted on a Whipple supercharger, a set of Recaro race seats with four-point harnesses up front and in the bed, and an impressive set of Rigid Industries lights. Then there's the obvious: a full set of Mattracks. Block says each assembly weighs about 350 pounds, and that the Raptor's suspension had to be modified to handle the extra weight.
