2013 ROUSH Staged Ford Mustang

Update on ROUSH's Staged Ford Mustangs. And by “Staged” I don't mean fake. No, it's 2012 so the time is right to roll out the 2013 MY product – more style, more aggression and, it goes without saying, more muscle. Three Stages are available with number three being sort of the full program. Stage 1 works on the visuals and Stage 2 deals with the handling bits.

2013 Ford Exploer Sport

Ford are contemplating a hardcore Explorer for the 2013 range – the Sport. Never before have the likes of an Explorer had a performance model but that's about to change. Supposedly, Ford are planning to dominate the “gasoline-engine-powered, high performance SUV" category by focusing on fuel economy – 16 mpg in an urban environment and 22 mpg on the highway. Mind you, those figures come from a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost® V6 engine that sends "at least” 350 bhp trough a paddle-shifting

The New York International Auto Show will be the venue where Shelby American Inc. will debut their most powerful project yet – the GT Ford Shelby 1000 which started life as a more “standard” 2012 GT 500. And no, the 1000 does not consist of two GT 500s. It's only one of them, with handling, power and breaking performance all beefed up. Although it's called the Shelby 1000, both of the versions in which it will be offered do not develop 1000 bhp. A street legal one has the “mere” 950 p

2012 Ford Fiesta ECOnetic

New Fiestas have started rolling out from Ford Europe's production line just in time to save the world from the petrol-price situation. Well, it's not that the Fiestas are new but rather what's inside them. Ford call it the ECOnetic Technology. And how eco exactly is the new batch? 3.3l/100km (86.5mpg) on the EU cycle if you ask Ford. We are talking serious penny saving here – CO2 emissions stand at just 87g/km. With figures like this, one might suspect the involvement of some ghastly plug i
