Car Auto Design

More than 30 years after George Miller's original Mad Max film starring Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky hit the screens turning both the American-born Australian actor and his jet-black Ford Falcon XB GT351 coupe-based Interceptor into movie icons, Ford’s local division in partnership with Top Gear Australia magazine, has revealed two concept studies for a modern day Interceptor.

The company formed a group of designers led by chief designer of passenger cars for the Asia, Pacific and Africa region, Todd Willing. The team created several of studies that paid tribute to the styling cues from the original XB Coupe Interceptor, but ultimately, only two made the cut. The winning designs were penned by Nima Nourian and Simon Brook.

The Australian unit of concern Ford in collaboration with the magazine TopGear Australia has created two individuals in honor of the cult movie "Mad Max". Unique Cars creatively develop heritage coupe Ford XB Interceptor, «snyavshego" in the famous action movie in 1979, the main role in which Mel Gibson played. Head of the project was the main designer of the regional Asia-Pacific Design Center Ford Chris Svensson, and two lines of designers develop Nima Noorian and Simon Brook.

As a result, they received two show car worthy of any of the modern blockbuster. Mad Max Interceptor is literally stuffed with fantastic weapons - from the Taser for motorcyclists to sharp blades, pulled out of the wheels. In the April issue of TopGear will be published stories of both concepts, readers will choose the best one, based on which will be released on a limited series of toy models.

New video from the new Focus ST Hot Hatch gave Ford. The model presented in Paris last October and is expected to begin sales in 2012. Mechanical time the new 2.0-liter 4-cylinder EcoBoost performance 250 horsepower 36 Nm of torque combined with a six-speed manual transmission. To improve the driving behavior of people placed Ford's new tougher suspension, new steering, bigger brakes and Torque Vectoring Control system for better management of the torque that the force to pass smoothly into the street.

American car manufacturer, Ford Motor Company (Ford) some time ago announced it would equip anyarnya products by means of digital radio entertainment or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB). Most gres technology in radio broadcasting began to be installed on the model of Ford in 2012 after following the other models.



As proclaimed autoevolution.com, Wednesday (16 / 3), the first model that will get the features of digital radio is the latest generation Ford Focus. "It (digital radio features) is hottest issue today, and we soon realize," said Nigel Sharp, Managing Director of Ford UK, such as What Car cited.

Now that digital radio has become the trend of the world community. Understandably, this radio technology has a series of advantages. Clearer sound than analog radio signal and a better quality of a few.

Another advantage, broadcast or songs that play to be stopped temporarily (pause), repeated back (rewind), or stored temporarily and be heard again at a later time. Spectrum digital radio signals are also more stable than conventional radio.

"Even transmit power and digital radio infrastructure more efficiently, so as to minimize production costs,"said a source at Ford.

Interestingly, the use of energy sources is also more economical. Ford said, the results of his research proves that digital radio technology is more energy efficient stun up to 7 percent than FM radio.

The range has been substantially redesigned Mustang mechanical level for the year 2011 with one exception: the GT500 who merely add 10 horsepower 5.4-liter V8 with its compressed. Who does not progress and the threat recedes from the 2012 Chevrolet ZL1 which will offer an equivalent power real early in the year 2012. Ford does not happily sit idly by and propose for the vintage 2013 version boosted to over 600 hp, probably 620 horsepower. For this, the M112 Eaton supercharger will be replaced by another from the same brand and the V8 engine from 5.4 liters to 5.8 liters. If the 0-60 mph is expected to change little (4.1 seconds for the 2011 model), the quarter mile should fall from 12.4 seconds to 12 seconds while the maximum speed will increase from 155 mph to 190 mph (respectively 249 km / h and 306 km / h). The price should rebound to $ 10 K $ 60,000.

Ford started in the U.S. to road test the new crossover, which, according to group, become a global car brand and will replace the product line just two "SUV": the European and North American Kuga Escape.

On a first date with a prototype of a new crossover Ford photographers took a shot of interior, which is visible to the central console with a large angle nakolona, ​​original chetyrehspitsevy steering wheel and instrument panel, consisting of two cylinders and a color display between them.

According to unconfirmed reports, the successor Kuga, the core of which is platform Focus, will be equipped with turbo petrol motors series EcoBoost volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liter diesel engines. The choice of potential buyers offered a mechanical box pereradch or Powershift transmission with two clutches. New Ford SUV will be produced in monoprivodnom performance, and with the AWD system.

World presentation of the concept of serial Vertrek held next year at the show in Detroit, the selling model in Europe start in the spring.

Ram Cargo Van is nothing other than a Dodge Grand Caravan adapted to work constraints, it was also so far sold at Dodge. In short, take this minivan, remove the rear side windows (it is possible to have), remove the seats of the second and third rows and you get this utility. Two floors with aluminum frame is available with or without storage space. The load is 818 kg and the vehicle can tow more than 3600 kg (class 1). The equipment is suitable with LED lights, a dual-zone air conditioning or ESP. For the rest, we find all the features of a Grand Caravan families and in particular the very good Pentastar V6 under the hood. Ram does not disclose the price. The marketing will take place in the third quarter of 2011.

Some rain spyshots the 2012 Ford Taurus SHO in saversion sport. The style will change slightly with new headlights, new grille or hood slightly modified, but the biggest change will take place under the cover redesigned. The 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost will always be part of his power, but should climb to 365 horsepower to 400 horsepower. The current Taurus SHO is marketed and costs $ 37,955, delivery costs not included.

He is expected for 2014, we know it will change with a new platform that will to oblivion the rear axle but certainly some engines to be replaced or supplemented by recent EcoBoost engine type but not all ...

Actually if you look at the About Zuzak Derrick, vice president of global development of Ford products, we learn that the design of next-generation Mustang will be "global" if not global, since the car will not be drawn only through the center of Dearborn style but it will collaboratively design offices in Europe and Australia.

It is also no coincidence that while Ford shows Vertrek at the Geneva Motor Show in anticipation of the new Kuga (after passing through Detroit), the real car was struck during his trial in the United States. We do not know if it will change its name or on the contrary still be called Escape in America, but it may take the unification Ford Kuga technique to adopt a global name.

As these images hint at, height and wheel aside, the production version of the Vertrek retain the basic proportions of the concept. Given the effectiveness of camouflage, go into more detail would be presumptuous, so we will just wait for the emergence of new images. Its strip-tease is not immediately anyway, the new Ford crossover will not be released in America until the end of 2012, and even take a little longer to reach Europe.

The concept car is based on the small car platform, which also uses the Ford Fiesta. With a length of 4.06 meters, the MPV eleven centimeters longer than the Fiesta and 32 centimeters shorter than the compact C-Max. A special feature of the new model is the new body structure, which dispenses with conventional B-pillars. This means that the edges of the study are on the front doors and rear doors open standard almost completely. Thus, a completely free access to the interior space is created which extends over a width of 1.5 meters - and thus, according to Ford twice as wide as comparable competitors. This makes the B-Max not only the entry and exit, but the seat belts by children in the back seat or the loading of the purchase.

The 2009 Ford Mustang is available as a coupe or convertible in four trim levels: V6 Deluxe, V6 Premium, GT Deluxe and GT Premium. The V6 Deluxe includes 16-inch alloy wheels, key less entry, cruise control, air-conditioning, full power accessories, a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. The V6 Premium adds upgraded 16-inch wheels, a power driver seat and a Shaker 500 upgraded stereo with six CD changer. The convertible versions feature a power vinyl top with cloth material as an option. In addition to its V8 engine, the GT Deluxe comes with all the V6 Deluxe features plus 17-inch alloys, a rear spoiler, fog lamps and sport seats. The 2009 Ford Mustang GT adds the Shaker 500 sound system and leather upholstery. The 2009 Ford Mustang GT coupe sits on a 107.1-inch wheelbase with a 62.4-inch front track and a 63-inch rear track. The vehicle's body measures 187.6 inches in length, 73.9 inches in width and 55.4 inches in height. The cabin of the coupe offers 84.7 cubic feet of passenger volume with a trunk that offers 13.1 cubic feet of cargo space.

Interior

Inside, the 2009 Ford Mustang features a handsome retro-styled interior that recalls the Mustangs of the 1960s. In base versions, the monochromatic interior can seem a bit dour, but an available Premium package spices up the interior with aluminum trim, special interior lighting, and multicolored accents. There's a heavy dose of 1967 Mustang inside, with the dash divided into distinct right and left pods, blended with modern touches. Chrome-ringed air vents align with the gauges across the dash, and the steering wheel has three spokes with a center hub marked by the horse and tricolor bars logo. While the look is retro cool, many of the materials have a cost-saving look and feel, especially the plastics on the dash panel. An interior upgrade package adds red leather seats, red door inserts and red floor mats on cars with appropriate exterior colors. The Mustang Bullitt is considered an options package for the GT Premium mustang coupe. It adds a cold-air-induction setup, unique exhaust and suspension tuning, high performance brake pads, a front strut tower brace, 18-inch alloy wheels and special interior and exterior alterations.

Here are a Ford Fiesta spyshots a bit special, because as you can see, the ground clearance of the latter is raised. It therefore appears that Ford will release a small crossover based on its city (which will replace the Fusion in Europe on this continent). Interestingly, the photos were taken in the U.S. suggesting a launch site. Note that it may be here just a mule with body Fiesta and the final version may very well have a different style. Hopefully at least a little look of a fighter. This mini SUV is expected to resume engines and transmissions from the Fiesta, with perhaps an additional supply and most powerful weight is probably higher. We do not know if the car will be available only in 4X4 or 4X2, betting on a version with 4-wheel drive optional.

Ford has given the American muscle car scene a new lease of life with the imminent release of the new 2011 Mustang V8 cars.

The heart of the new model Ford Mustang just has to be the V8 engine. It is a return to the 5.0-liter capacity that is so inspiring.

It is a 5.0-liter quad cam all alloy V8 that can rev to 7000rpm (previous engine was 6500rpm). The 2011 Mustang GT will be in an excellent position to challenge those in the Chevrolet camp, such as the Camaro or the Dodge Challenger. They of course must persist with the Chevrolet 6 litre all alloy OHV (still OHV).

The new Ford engine will also have such features as Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (known as Ti-VCT) and is expected to deliver 412HP and 390FT.LB of torque.
To support this new V8 engined Mustang muscle car are two new gearboxes, a six speed automatic and a six speed manual.

The rear suspension will also come in for some upgrades, along with the option of a Brembo brake upgrade, summer performance tires and a set of 19-inch alloys.

And when you look at the engine it is the sexiest looking Mustang GT V8 production engine since the BOSS 429.

In closing we can see that the new 5.0-liter engine is the next phase in the world class Mustang GT power train development. It is a modern engine thoroughly developed delivering both fun and performance to the enthusiast.
