Ford EcoSport 2013 The All New Compact Crossover

 Ford EcoSport 2013 The All New Compact Crossover

Making its debut at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo in India as the Ford EcoSport, the new compact crossover is the latest installment in Ford’s ever-expanding global product family.
Modern and innovative, the all-new Ford EcoSport was designed to combine best-in-class design, technology, quality and safety aimed at attracting a new generation of consumers in different global markets.
The vehicle is based on the Blue Oval’s global B-segment platform, used in other subcompacts like the Fiesta and upcoming B-Max. This particular platform is crucial to Ford’s future success as vehicles based on it are predicted to represent more than two million units of annual production as subcompact cars continue to drive global growth.
Created as the latest One Ford global product, the EcoSport will be a key model in expanding Ford's presence in major worldwide growth markets, including India, Brazil and the ASEAN markets. It has been developed in South America at one of Ford's eight global product development centres in conjunction with teams from Asia, Europe and North America to meet the needs of markets across the globe.
The all-new Ford EcoSport exemplifies the DNA of Ford global vehicles and its versatility broadens the horizons of mobility and use. Its genuine SUV confidence starts in the stability of the chassis, reinforced by the body's robust build, high torsional stiffness and high levels of protection for its occupants. Yet, its innovative design reduces the weight and ensures good fuel efficiency.

As a Fiesta-based model, the EcoSport will be front-wheel drive only, at least initially, confirming its positioning as an SUV to be used primarily in the city.
Ford says the Fiesta architecture can be engineered for all-wheel-drive capability but says this expensive investment would only go ahead if there was sufficient market demand.
Ford Australia confirmed the EcoSport’s engine options will include the company’s smallest ‘Ecoboost’ engine yet – a turbocharged, direct fuel injection 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol.
The 1.0-litre turbo will spread to other Ford products, with the Fiesta one of the most likely recipients. In the EcoSport it produces 88kW of power and 170Nm of torque, with the latter output delivered between 1300 and 4500rpm.

Ford hasn’t revealed a fuel consumption figure for the engine but says emissions will be below 140 grams per kilometre, equating to a fuel consumption somewhere in the mid-4.0 litres per 100km bracket.
A 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine will offer even better fuel consumption and emissions, while a 1.5-litre normally aspirated four-cylinder petrol will power the entry-level EcoSport.
Both engines are already found in the Fiesta in India, where the 1.5-litre petrol produces 80kW/140Nm and uses about 5.9 litres per 100km and the 1.5-litre diesel has 66kW/204Nm and a fuel consumption figure of about 4.3L/100km.
A five-speed manual will be the standard gearbox with a Powershift dual-clutch auto becoming an option on the diesel and possibly the petrols.
Previewing the vehicle design first at the 11th Annual Auto Expo in New Delhi gives Ford the opportunity to introduce EcoSport to consumers in one of the world's biggest automotive growth markets ahead of its future global rollouts.

 Ford EcoSport 2013 The All New Compact Crossover

The new EcoSport was developed on Ford's new global B-segment platform, which will be the basis for an array of new small-car products from Ford in the coming years. By mid-decade, the new Ford B-platform family of vehicles will represent more than 2 million units of annual production as compact cars continue to drive global growth.
The Ford EcoSport has been a market phenomenon since it was launched in South America in 2003 as the region's first affordable SUV, selling 700,000 vehicles in nine years. It created a new segment and popularized features that many consumers had wanted.
The Ford EcoSport will be produced at ultra-modern, flexible assembly plants in Brazil, India, and other markets to be announced at a later time. The EcoSport as a global vehicle is an example of the technical ability of Ford's global engineering and high level of integration of the design and engineering centres around the world.

The project was led by Ford's Development Center in Camaçari, Brazil, one of the most specialized in the development of compact cars. The team leveraged Ford engineering strength and SUV expertise from around the world to create the all-new Ford EcoSport.

Actual Ford Escape

The Ford Escape is a compact four-door SUV. Thanks to its light four-wheel independent suspension and unibody construction, is better suited for off-road driving. The basic structure was solved with the help of the Mazda Tribute, which is very similar to the leak has been developed.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

For those who have more disposable income and less of a social conscience, Ford has something to offer in the way of the Mustang. Hell, it also provides the base model V6 307 horsepower and is capable of 30 mpg on the highway, but in reality we are here - the Mustang V6 is suffering crippling stigma, a girl car. Like the Mazda MX-5, can in competition, as long as you like, but most people buy with an XY chromosome is not logical.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

I was lucky, the Ford Shelby GT500 last year, the top dog, 550 hp supercharged V8 with Mustang, Brembo brakes and a bright red paint with white racing stripes. It was great, and I said the last great muscle car. I was wrong. Ford had something up his sleeve.
While the big dogs of journalism automotive learned a long time to spend with the main circuits variables (Laguna Seca), which was limited to one day - less than 24 hours in the real world - and decided to eat in a series of five hours and unit of energy drinks as much as possible before the car had to be returned.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

The Mustang Boss 302 is actually up to 110 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque Shelby, the nature of their 5.0L V8, only 440 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque (5.0 V8 engine model uses a similar movement, but with different internal share is limited to 412 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque). For many geeks with little experience behind the wheel of the gap between the head and Shelby is scared, but in the real world, the drive that is 302.
The difference in weight between the two is not sharp, with the head, weighing 189 pounds less than the Shelby, but the way in which state power-down the head much more attractive, with its gentle rise and constant 7500 rpm redline with an array of NASCAR as a glorious soundtrack of the cabin (and some friends assured me, a deafening noise from the outside).

Shelby with 550 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque load, the effort, in fact, the force put on the ground - the throttle in third, and cash back and forth like a spring break revelers drunk, as wheel drive encryption. With the boss, not a little drama on the back is short for bad rapid acceleration from 3.73 to 60 mph, while the optional limited slip differential that provides traction. The Boss 302 is a 6-speed manual transmission is easy to handle, even better than the Shelby is that it requires much effort.

Interior stripped and not in a good way.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

When the Shelby does not prevail in the interior, where a complete set of features such as a touch screen navigation system Ford SYNC with a Shaker 1000 audio system, leather interior and black plastic bean receives less. The Boss 302 is very Spartan, who can live, but may be hateful to those who can actually afford this car. The optional Recaro seats deserve a mention for the comfortable and extremely useful, and come with holes for the straps, although appearing in a rear seat is not fixed, like a bad idea. This is a $ 1,995 option, and is combined with a limited slip differential come. This is not a bad price, but in a vehicle, an LSD like this should be the norm.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

The stereo is a real piece of shit that does not fit the base of the party, and let's be honest here - a large part of the whole track experience muscle car-loud while driving on the main road. Ford to kill him, sort of halfway in a car that made over $ 40,000 it cost?
The exterior is the exact opposite of the closing of the cabin. Until there is a new grille and fascia with integrated separator. On the back are two huge rear exhaust. In addition to receiving the Boss GT 302 is covered with the top leadership and a rear wing and if he is paired with custom graphics and wheels 100 percent of the dishwasher door, that is.A track car you can live with.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Details aside, the boss is incredibly easy to live in everyday situations. The trunk is quite roomy, the ride quality is excellent, but survived the worst of the patches (which actually became the collapse adjustable shocks are the total stiffness), the seats are comfortable and the clutch is easy to use. Driving in urban areas in rush hour traffic exhausts us no more than driving a family sedan, though its physical weight and less than optimum visibility to the rear lane changes and developed a control bit more complicated than they are in a Taurus.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Another interesting feature if you want your boss to do every day driving, passenger airbag configuration, with Comfort, Normal and Sport mode, support for different environments. We could not see to want to go with a cruise for two on the road, but each with a boss to stick it in the sport and keep it that way.

 

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Have Given the publicity surrounding all muscle cars, the expectations of management is the key to a car like the 302 head debuted the new Camaro could muster, with all praises and hallelujahs to the motoring press, but proved a failure, while the Challenger was a good, but the vehicle dynamically wrong. The Boss 302 can deliver on its promises, a more focused, refined than the Mustang "weekend toy" typical state, higher performance cars (not to mention the issues of track-day special) are generally exceeded .

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

It is unfortunate that the time spent with the boss was so limited, not what time of the alleged use of the capacity of the box, 4-piston Brembo brakes (the stop is very good for the panic of three digits to dig working hours) and the possibility that the wind out of the 5.0L V8 to the wide range that are exploring all 7500 rpm We look forward to a good weekend trip with the boss, but now it's safe to say that the head of the real deal, the peak of the muscle car which can also give the reason foreign competitors awake at night.

Ford Harley Davidson F150 - More Than Just A Truck

By Allison Thompson

The Ford F150 truck has now been in production for well over 30 years now and initially when it appeared on the scene it was more commonly referred to as the "heavy half ton" by the company. Simply because the F100 was also still in production at this time. Yet it took another 24 years before Ford finally came out with a new version and which they worked on in conjunction with another iconic vehicle company, namely Harley Davidson Motorcycles. So in 1999 the Ford Harley Davidson F150 was born.
Although this particular truck has been around for less than 10 years there are certainly many people who love the design and looks of it. But with all Ford vehicles and even those they make in collaboration with other motor vehicle companies hold true to the companies believes. But with this particular one it also takes into consideration the believes and philosophies that the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company hold dear to their heart as well. Below we take a look at the 2006 and 2007 models of this vehicle and which will be come extremely popular with both Harley Davidson and Ford enthusiasts the world over.
1. The 2006 Ford Harley Davidson F150 Supercab - A beautiful looking vehicle which provides the rough and ruggedness you expect from a Ford truck but with the added benefits of some beautiful custom detailing, such as you would see on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The exterior of the vehicle monotone but comes with a custom scalloped red paint stripe running the complete length of the vehicle which is then further accentuated by electric blue. Along with this custom paintwork on the vehicle at set intervals along the vehicles belt line you will find the Harley Davidson script.
In order to provide the vehicle with a much more menacing look and bring it into line with the kinds of looks that Harley Davidson motorcycles have. Ford have chosen to provide it with a chrome billet grille, plus the headlamps and taillights have also been blacked out. Finally they have included highly polished 22 inch forged aluminum rims to further add to its menacing looks.
2. The 2007 Ford Harley Davidson F150 Supercrew - Unlike the 2006 Supercab this particular model of F150 trucks exterior is not only available in monotone black but also in a rich amethyst color as well. Which is only one of the major differences between these two models. They both come with the 22 inch forged aluminum wheels which have been polished and a chrome grille. This vehicle also comes with both its headlights and taillights blacked out as you will soon discover all models of the FordHarley Davidson F150 do.
The major difference between the 2006 Supercab and the 2007 Supercrew is what is under the hood. A person who purchases the 2007 model has the option of having a supercharger fitted to the Harley Davidson engine. This is normally to be found on Ford's Shelby GT500 and once fitted to this F150 will give the owner 450 break horsepower.
Along with a number of refinements to the exterior of the vehicle, Ford have made some changes to the interior of the F150 cab as well. It provides the people encased within with the feeling that they are out on the open road riding along on a Harley Davidson.
The seats (captains chairs) in the Ford Harley Davidson F150 truck are made from leather and into them has been stitched the logo which has become synonymous with one of the most iconic motorcycles the world knows. Also it has plenty of chrome trim and accessories in the cabs interior which further give it the feeling of being a custom made vehicle rather than one that has come off a production line.
