The 2004 FOCUS WAGON SEMA CONVERSION
This wagon began as an early 2004 Focus SE with the new 2.3L Cosworth Ford Duratec 4 Cylinder aluminum engine. Jeff Biane decided to customize this car for the 2004 SEMA show with the help of Ford and a several sponsors. The purpose was to showcase the Cosworth and Ford SVT parts unique to the Ford Focus. The result is a one of a kind vehicle that could have rolled off the Ford assembly line with specialty parts from SVT and Cosworth. The wagon was completely disassembled including removing all the glass, doors and interior. The body was painted Competition Orange. A new interior was created with unique seat covering, door, dash and roof panels, and new carpeting. Exterior panels include Focus SVT front fascia with Euro grill. Euro ST 170 SVT headlights light the way. The rear fascia was fabricated from a Focus SVT center panel and extended to fit the wagon. Side rocker panels, trim and doors handles were modified and painted the body color. Ford Euro 17 x 7" Dark Argent SVT wheels were added. The Cosworth Stage 3 engine upgrade includes the unique Cosworth intake manifold, large tube exhaust header and high lift intake and exhaust cams assembled on a custom ported DOHC cylinder head. The ECU was re-flashed to take advantage of the improved breathing capacity of the engine. The 2.5" exhaust has an SVT center exhaust outlet. Dyno tested at 205 HP at the wheels. There is a small rear main seal oil leak. The 5 speed was rebuilt at ~35k miles with new bearings and synchros. The 3.42 final drive differential gears have been replaced with a 4.06 set and a Torsen torque biasing differential was added. An aluminum flywheel and Ford Centerforce clutch were also installed at time of rebuild. The chassis has upgraded KW springs, shocks, front struts and larger rear anti-roll bar which combine to provide excellent handling. BAER Racing 13.5", 4 piston caliper front brakes and SVT Focus rear disks provide great stopping power. The unique Cosworth NA engine and transmission upgrades far exceed the SVT Focus and created a uniquely special vehicle. This car has trophied at every car show event I have entered. It has never seen snow and looks like new. Modified drive train is still docile on the street. Quick for a 4 banger. 0 - 60 under 7 seconds. Shipping is available to US or European at buyers additional cost. Any taxes, import duties or fees are exclusively the buyers responsibility. We have arranged many previous vehicle shipments, including international and overseas, over the past several years. |

Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars. To signify its new partnership with Penske Racing in NASCAR, Hertz introduced a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang GT, officially called the Hertz Penske GT, at last weekend's NASCAR races in Daytona. If you're like us, the rental specials remind with the original 1966 Shelby GT350-H and its later homage, the 2006 Shelby GT-H.
Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T. Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.
Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
