Everrati reveals completed Ford GT40 electric conversion
Governments are pushing for the elimination of cars with internal-combustion engines, and at some point we may see even classic cars taken off the road. There is a way to save them, though it requires stripping out the powertrain and installing a battery-electric setup. A number of companies have started offering this service, and even some automakers, such as Volkswagen Group, General Motors and Ford, have become involved. One...First customized 2021 Ford GT Studio Collection car revealed
On Monday, the automaker unveiled the first 2021 Ford GT Studio Collection car. Announced last year, the Studio Collection option allows buyers to customize the exterior and graphics, with seven standard colors, and an “extended palette” offering a wider range of options, Ford spokesperson Jiyan Cadiz said. The first completed Studio Collection car features a Shadow Black exterior with Competition Orange accents, including a single racing stripe and highlights...Ford ups investment in self-driving and electric cars to $29B
Ford plans to spend up big in the areas of electric vehicles and self-driving technology, CEO Jim Farley said Thursday during a conference call detailing the automaker’s 2020 financial results. Key measures mentioned by the new Ford CEO include an increase in spending on EVs to $22 billion through 2025, up from a previously announced $11.5b. The figure includes investments already made in EVs since about 2016. “We are...2021 Ford Bronco will go off-road racing in Ultra4 series
After unveiling Bronco-badged unlimited-class race trucks for the Ultra4 series, Ford on Wednesday announced that stock Broncos will also compete in the series. Scheduled to begin testing later this month, the Ford Bronco 4600 is a modified version of the SUV people will actually be able to buy. It’s based on the 2021 Ford Bronco two-door with the Sasquatch package, using the same T6 platform, twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6, and...Ford reportedly working on 6.8-liter engine for Mustang and F-150
The president of Canadian auto-worker trade union Unifor has let slip that Ford may be working on a new 6.8-liter engine and that it would be used in derivatives of the Mustang and F-150. We expect the engine to be a V-8. Jerry Dias mentioned the 6.8-liter engine at a Sept. 23 press conference, saying it would be built at a factory in Windsor, Ontario. An accompanying Unifor press...Next Ford Mustang will reportedly match current gen’s 8-year life cycle
The current-generation Ford Mustang, the S550, has been putting smiles on dials since 2014, when it arrived with great fanfare as part of Ford’s 50th anniversary celebrations for the Mustang nameplate. Ford these days is focused on SUVs and pickup trucks, but the Mustang isn’t going anywhere. In fact, the next-generation S650 was inadvertently confirmed in February to be arriving in 2022, by way of a job listing. That...These are the 5 most expensive Ford Mustangs ever sold
The Ford Mustang has earned its place in history as one of the most formidable and exciting sports cars available. It even spawned its own segment, the “pony” car, which proved so popular, every other major American brand was forced into it and scrambled to keep up. When the Mustang first came out, it was marketed as a cheap sports car for the budding Baby Boomer generation. Released in...2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
A few years ago, this wouldn’t have registered as big news. Batteries made hybrids much more expensive, and their drive feel seemed like too much of a compromise to be worth the extra coin. Today, those barriers have largely been lifted, and making the switch to hybrid technology comes with ever-fewer drawbacks. Take the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for example. Since Toyota first brought the built-in-Ontario second-generation RAV4 Hybrid to...Confirm your service appointments online with Ford in Malaysia
After announcing its new test drive delivery service last month, Ford in Malaysia is now offering vehicle service appointments to be made in real-time through its official website. Once on the site, customers will be required to select their vehicle model, select the state they are in and select their preferred service centre. The available date and time slots will then be shown, and customers can schedule a service...Ford and VW electric models may be delayed by trade-secret fight
Ford and Volkswagen warned a swirling legal dispute between two South Korean battery suppliers could threaten their plans to start producing electric vehicles in the U.S. The dispute between SK Innovation Co. and LG Chem Ltd. could undermine Ford’s intention to make an electric version of the F-150 in Michigan from 2022; and VW’s efforts to build battery-powered cars in Tennessee the same year. In filings with the U.S....
