Custom bodywork created by Allison’s includes a fiberglass hood with functional scoops and extractors, as well as modified side scoops with billet inserts. The exterior was refinished in blue using DuPont paint covered by multiple coats of clear. H4 headlamps and sequential-flashing taillights are fitted, and a custom “Powered by a Supercharged Coyote” badge is affixed to the front grille. The window trim, windows, wiper arms, mirrors, door handles, bumpers, and gas cap were also reportedly refinished or replaced during the build. The side and rear windows are tinted.

Multi-piece 18” True-Forged wheels are mounted with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 tires. Wilwood disc brakes feature six-piston calipers up front and four-piston calipers out back, as well as drilled and slotted rotors all around. Adjustable coilovers are mounted at all four corners, and the TCI Engineering front clip includes tubular A-arms, rack-and-pinion steering, and subframe connectors.

Adjustable Sparco sport seats are equipped with four-point Sparco harnesses. A custom eight-point roll cage has also been fitted, and the rear seats were removed. Interior features include power windows, air conditioning, an aluminum Bowler shifter, and a custom center console with cup holders. When open, the driver’s door panel is equipped with a light projector that shines the Mustang logo on the ground.

An Alcantara-wrapped Sparco steering wheel is mounted to a tilting Ididit column and frames Dakota VHX gauges. A multi-function display on the passenger side of the dashboard shows vehicle speed, boost pressure, and engine rpm. A Kenwood CD player is connected to an amplifier, subwoofer, and four speakers.

The trunk was refinished with insulation and carpeting and is equipped with a battery cut-off switch and an Aeromotive fuel cell.

The 5.0-liter Coyote V8 was an “Aluminator” crate engine from Ford Performance and features an aluminum block, aluminum cylinder heads, forged Mahle pistons, Manley H-beam connecting rods, ARP rod bolts, a forged crankshaft, 32 valves, and Boss 302 valve springs. Additional engine-bay equipment includes an aluminum Griffin radiator, electric cooling fan, and Ring Brothers aluminum hood hinges. The engine is fitted with a Whipple supercharger and was reportedly re-tuned in October 2021 by Danbury Competition Engines in Connecticut. Additional service included aligning the supercharger belt, repairing a vacuum leak and an oil line leak, changing the oil, and replacing the spark plugs.

Surprise! More Ford and Lincoln cars found with marijuana

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Ford is starting to have a serious problem on its hands. Today, ABC 7 in Detroit reported that another batch of Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars were found packed with 227 pounds of marijuana. This is a little over a week after Fords in Ohio were found stuffed with marijuana and only about two months after Fords in Minnesota were found full of weed. All of the cars traveled on train from Mexico to their destination. All in, several thousand pounds and several million dollars worth of marijuana has been discovered. According to the report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement found the cars at the Ford Rail Distribution Facility in Woodhaven, Michigan, just south of Ford's world headquarters in Dearborn. ICE became involved after a Ford employee reported the cars to Woodhaven police. It's unclear when and where the cars were packed with marijuana. With the cars in Minnesota, it's believed that the weed was added after leaving the factory but before being loaded on the train. Spare tires were removed and the space was used to smuggle the marijuana. Related Video:

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

2024 Lincoln Aviator and 2024 Ford Explorer lose hybrid option

Wed, Nov 15 2023

The 2024 Lincoln Aviator will not be available with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, a spokesman for the brand confirmed. Lincoln dropped the gasoline-electric option to focus on more popular variants of the SUV, and it's making a handful of small changes for the new model year. "Given timing, the 2024 Aviator is a limited production run and as such, we are focusing on our most popular offering," a spokesman told Autoblog via email. While nothing is official yet, unverified reports suggest that the SUV will receive a major round of updates for 2025. In the meantime, the Aviator will enter the 2024 model year with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 as its only engine option. The six-cylinder makes 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive is offered at an extra cost, though keep in mind that Lincoln hasn't published the full list of changes it's making to the model for 2024 yet. Ditching the hybrid system means buyers now have three trims to choose from. Previously named Standard, the entry-level trim is called Premiere for 2024. The mid-range Reserve and the range-topping Black Label carry over. Pricing starts at $53,340 excluding destination. More details about the 2024 Lincoln Aviator should emerge in the coming weeks. Lincoln parent company Ford is axing the Explorer's available hybrid system in the civilian model as well. But the police version of the SUV is only available as a hybrid, and will continue to be. "To meet continued strong demand for the Ford Police Interceptor Utility hybrid and other Ford hybrid vehicles, the 2024-model-year Explorer will only be offered with the fuel-efficient 2.3-liter four-cylinder Ecoboost and the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6. Those two engines account for the majority of Explorer sales," a spokesperson for the Blue Oval confirmed to Autoblog. There's no word on when or if the hybrid will return for civilian Explorers. Offered through 2023, the Explorer's optional gasoline-electric drivetrain was only available on the top-of-the-line Limited and Platinum variants. And, like the Aviator it's related to, the Explorer is expected to get a round of updates inside and out for the 2025 model year.
