The two ‘Interceptors’, created by Ford designers Nima Nourian and Simon Brook, have been turned into show-car models that will go on display at the Australian International Motor Show in Melbourne on July 1.

The 1955-57 two-seat Ford Thunderbird is among the most iconic American cars. It’s been in television shows, movies and print advertisements and pictured on a U.S. postage stamp.

Don’t be faked out by all the hype. Don’t believe everything you’ve been reading about the new 2011 Ford Mustang V6 being the greatest thing since the Victoria’s Secret catalog. You know what we’re talking about. The numbers are all over the Internet: 305 horsepower. 31 mpg. Don’t be fooled. The truth is that guys who [...]
In response to reader comments about observed low-end power output (or rather, the lack of measured output below 2,000 rpm) during our earlier dyno test of Ford’s all-new 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, we’ve rerun the test.This time, we combined engineering resources from Ford and our friends at K&N Engineering. Ford graciously flew in an engineer from [...]
Four short years ago, Ford raised the bar on crossover SUVs when it introduced the Edge, a mid-size crossover SUV that successfully married cool with convenient. The Edge was an instant hit, appealing to a wide demographic and announcing Ford’s return to prominence in the passenger-car market. You can imagine, then, that the expectations for [...]
