After a 40 year absence, a bright red Ford, just like the showroom-fresh gem you see here, was picked to pace the 2010 edition of NASCAR’s Great American Race. Ford was so excited with the announcement that they decided to release a limited run of 2011 Mustang Pace Car replicas. And this coupe, number 49 of only 50 produced, is equipped with the same 412 horsepower V8, slick 6-speed transmission and pack-leading appearance as its original Daytona muse. The car’s super straight body displays a glossy coat of Ford Race Red that, based on its smooth appearance, has never been driven in rain, parked under inclement skies or seen much time outside of a building at all. And that bright red pigment lays the ground work for a blanket of professional pace car decals which are tastefully unique and equally interesting. Of course this garage-fresh Mustang presents well, but the car’s biggest selling point is what’s under its sculpted hood. Looking completely sanitary between body-matched fenders and an insulated firewall is a state of the art 5.0 liter Ford ‘mod motor’ that’s rated at a pavement scorching 412 horsepower and a hefty 390 lb./ft. of torque. Behind that engine, there’s a slick-shifting Getrag 6-speed that twists an optional 3.73 limited slip rear end. Since the original pace car’s chassis had to be tuned for speed and steeply banked turns, this production version combines new electronic power steering with a few Ford Racing components to achieve better handling characteristics. And, in an appeal to both the car’s aggressive image and great track prowess, massive 19-inch alloy wheels were covered in slick graphite paint and mounted to high quality 245/45 Pirelli P Zero Neros. There’s no question this Mustang mixes instant collect ability with some seriously threatening performance hardware.

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
