The official tweet put out by Ford read, "We are sensitive and respectful to some concerns raised previously about the date, which was purely coincidental." Ford had earlier teased the Bronco SUV by sharing videos of the car undergoing testing in some of the world's most treacherous terrains. The new Bronco is an evolution over its predecessor and has outgrown substantially in terms of dimensions. From what we can understand looking at the pictures, it's curvier than before while it takes design inspiration from the latest generation Ford Raptor.

So, the 3.5-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder mill and the upcoming 5.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 is expected to be offered when it goes on sale.
