Rare 2012 Roush Stage 2 Gt Premium Escort Sema Show Car on 2040-cars
Mundelein, Illinois, United States
The car you're looking at is a 2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium Coupe. In fact, this is now a Roush Stage 2 Mustang that features enhancements to the exterior styling as well as the handling package via a host of carefully-selected Roush upgrades. The car is fully-loaded with more than $10,000 in Roush goodies and also comes with an Escort protection package, including a custom-installed Passport 9500ci radar and laser defense system, and more. THE TOTAL STICKER PRICE WITH ALL EXTRAS IS OVER $52,000! Reserve price is WAY below the original price. So, in addition to the Passport 9500ci radar and
laser defense system with integrated display, Escort has outfitted the 'Stang
with its QuickStart remote start and security system, which allows you to
start, track and secure the vehicle from a smartphone, iPhone control interface
and/or security key fob. The vehicle is also equipped with Escort's SEMA
Award-winning SmartCord Live technology that uses the Escort Live network and
version 2.0 app, which works with iOS and Android smartphones and provides many
of the features in the radar detector connected version, including red light
and speed camera alerts, speed trap locations, live traffic (iPhone), voice
alerts and more. And, it's a good thing the car is equipped with
said devices because, although stage two is considered middle ground by Roush
standards, the Mustang GT's 5.0 V8 already makes 412 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque
and accelerates from zero-to-60 mph in about 4.5 seconds. Styling upgrades include Roush's
sixth-generation R6 “aerobody package,” which, in the front, consists of a new
upper grille, high-flow lower grille, corner fascia aero pockets with driving
lamps and a front chin splitter. The Roush rocker panels and rear fascia side
splitters give the car a more aggressive, lowered stance punctuated in the rear
with a three-piece rear decklid spoiler. Also in the back is a new rear aero
valance that features race-inspired diffusers and integrates Roush's new
dual-chambered chrome exhaust tips. Rounding out the exterior is a suite of
Roush “R” and “Stage 2” badges. Inside, embroidered floor mats, a center console
button and dash medallion help identify this as a special vehicle; Jack Roush's
signature graphic can be seen on the dash and under the hood on a serialized
Stage 2 plaque. Roush chassis engineers have spent thousands of
hours developing and testing to create a performance handling package that
includes a larger, stiffer front stabilizer bar, twin-tube shocks with unique
valving and increased spring rates. Furthermore, new bushings and a unique
upper control arm translate to better contact and grip for the 18x10-inch cast
aluminum five-spoke wheels with sticky Cooper RS3 ultra high-performance summer
rubber. “For more than three decades, the Escort and
Beltronics brands have always signaled the very best driving technology
available for radar and laser ticket protection,” said John Larson, Escort
president and CEO. “We have established a history of going the extra mile to do
more for our customers than anyone else – now we are putting someone in their
very own 2012 Escort-equipped Roush Mustang.” This car was the featured car at the Escort booth at SEMA for 2011 and 2012. There are tons of pictures and videos of the car widely available documenting it's history on both Google and YouTube. http://www.escortradar.com/pr_SEMA-102912.php http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012_SEMA_Show/ESCORT_Radar/prweb10062886.htm

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt promos, Audi e-gas partnership
Mon, Feb 29 2016GM is offering promotions on the 2017 Chevrolet Volt. As dealers receive the first shipments of the new model year of the Volt, the automaker is giving customers in certain areas (California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont) $1,000 cash back on their purchase. GM Financial is also offering lease discounts for a limited time, and trade-ins may be eligible for even more money back. State and federal incentives could add up to make the new Volt quite the bargain for the right customer. Read more at Clean Technica. The UK's potential exit from the European Union could mean tighter emissions regulations, potentially even in the UK. While Britain has fought against the EU on stricter rules, the "Brexit" could leave officials in Brussels free to strengthen air quality laws. The UK, despite giving up its seat at the table, would still be beholden to some rules as a member of the European Economic Area free trade agreement. British voters vote on a referendum to leave the EU on June 23. Read more from Bloomberg Business. Daimler will refrain from investing in battery pack production with other automakers for the time being. Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche cites an overabundance of battery production, saying, "Contrary to the expectation four or six years ago when everyone thought that the cells would be a rarity that could even be used as a tool of industrial policy, there is de facto a massive overcapacity in the market today and cells have become a commodity." Daimler recently shuttered its own lithium-ion battery production due to high costs and low demand. Read more from Automotive News. Audi is partnering with the Viessmann Group to increase e-gas production using a new biological process. Audi has been making the renewable fuel through a two-part process of electrolysis (splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen) and methanation (reacting hydrogen with CO2 to make synthetic methane). The new biological process uses microoganisms to absorb hydrogen and CO2 to make methane. The process requires lower temperature and pressure, and doesn't require high concentrations or purity of CO2. Read more in the press release below.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
