Ford Edsel Roadster de 1934 restaurado para Pebble Beach
Lost for 41 years

Ford has unveiled a 1934 Model 40 Special Speedster at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Originally built for Edsel Ford, the unique roadster features iconic styling that was penned by E. T. Gregorie. The vehicle underwent a number of changes over the years, but it remains equipped with a 100 hp (75 kW / 101 PS) 4.0-liter V8 engine that was installed in 1940.
Following Ford's death in 1943, the car toured the United States before being sold for $603 in 1958. It eventually disappeared for 41 years, until it made a cameo at the 1999 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Nearly ten years later, the car was sold to a Texas collector for $1.76 million. Sadly, the buyer died shortly thereafter and the vehicle was returned to the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House which had it restored to its current condition by RM Auto Restoration.
According to Edsel Ford II, "My grandfather was an early believer that everyday objects - including automobiles - could be seen as works of art. While he wasn't a designer in the traditional sense, his eye for styling and influence was apparent as he initiated and built the design department at Ford Motor Company."

Só faltava mesmo ter os 4 farolins à frente, mas também é coisa muito fácil de resolver.

Boas, tive recentemente em espanha e apanhei por lá alguns Focus mk2 com uns choques deferentes e vinham com o lettering atrás a dizer "latvala" ou "hirvonen".

São edições especiais que só saíram por lá? Ou é só a malta que é mais fanática por rallys do que cá?

É uma edição especial, lançada pela Ford Espanha. [;)]


El salón de Madrid será el escenario de la presentación de dos nuevas ediciones especiales del Ford Focus, una dedidaca da Mikko Hirvonen y otra a Jari-Matti Latvala, los dos pilotos titulares del equipo Ford en el WRC.

El que vemos en la imagen es el Ford Focus Hirvonen, que destaca por su kit aerodinámico y las llantas de 18 pulgadas. Todos los ejemplares de esta edición estarán disponibles en blanco. En el lado opuesto, el Ford Focus Latvala será negro, con llantas de 17 pulgadas y con kit aerodinámico (no especifican si será igual o diferente al Hirvonen).

Ambas ediciones estarán basadas en las carrocerías de tres puertas y con los motores 1.8 TDCi de 115 CV y compartirán el interior, de corte deportivo, con alfombrillas personalizadas y pedales de aluminio.


Una vez finalice el salón, estarán disponibles para el público. Se pondrán a la venta 600 unidades a un precio de 18.470 euros para el Ford Focus Latvala y 18.570 euros para el Ford Focus Hirvonen.

Además, también se podrá ver un prototipo basado en el Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet + David Delfín, en el que el diseñador español ha puesto su toque de originalidad. No se sabe nada más de este prototipo ni hay imágenes de él, así que tendremos que esperar a verlo en Madrid.

Não era somente em Espanha que o 1.8 TDCI estava disponível no MK2.

No caso do 1.8 TDCI MK2, a potência continuou a ser os 115cv, mas o binário ttinha subido para 260Nm (280Nm ou 285Nm em Overboost), já não tenho a certeza do binário em Overboost.

Cá no fórum existe um user, que tem um MK2 com esse motor. É o Zizo, que reside na Bélgica
 
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 HPE700 By Hennessey

When John Hennessey points to a car and says he wants to make a performance program for it, magic usually happens.
There was no doubt that when Ford brought back the Mustang Boss 302 for the first time since 1969 - that’s a span of 42 years - Hennessey would be getting his picking finger ready. It just became a question of when the American tuning company would have a program ready for it.
Hennessey just introduced the HPE650 package for the Boss 302 and today, they’ve upped the ante with the release of the HPE700. Like most of Hennessey’s tuning programs, you won’t see a whole lot of extra decorations on the car. There are badges here and plaques there, but for the most part, what you see with the car is what you get. But when you open the hood, that’s when all hell breaks loose.
Just like the HPE650 program, Hennessey’s HPE700 program offers a mammoth horsepower improvement, which might seem over-the-top considering the Boss 302 already has 440 ponies in tow. However, anytime you can take that 440 and turn it into 700, we’re pretty sure that you won’t find a whole lot of people to complain about it.

Fords a diesel extremamente ecológicos a serem apresentados para a semana em Frankfurt.
Frugal Ford Focus unveiled

Ford-Focus-691111103011121600x1060.jpg

Ford will unveil Europe’s most efficient non-hybrid family car at Frankfurt motor show next week. The Focus Econetic Technology is powered by a 1.6-litre diesel and returns 83.1mpg and emits 89g/km of C02, which the Blue Oval claims is the best in Europe for a C-segment machine.
Ford also showcase an Econetic Technology variant of the Fiesta at Frankfurt. The first Fiesta to be fitted with start-stop technology, it can do 85.6mph and delivers 87g/km.
See pictures of Ford's Econetic Technology cars
The Econetic Technology badged petrol and diesel models will offered with 1.0-litre or 1.6-litre EcoBoost engines or a 1.6-litre TDCi diesel engine. The cars will come with host of eco-orientated features, such as auto-start-stop, smart regenerative charging, Ford Eco Mode driver information system and a gearshift indicator.
The 106bhp 1.6-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel engine will be the most frugal. It has been optimised for enhanced fuel efficiency with a new injection system, addition friction reduction features, a more efficient combustion system, enhanced cooling and revised engine management.
A feature unique to the Focus Econetic Technology is the lean nitrogen oxide trap in combination with a coated diesel particulate filter, which allows an even leaner combustion process in the engine.
The 1.6-litre diesel in the Focus Econetic Technology is paired with Ford’s six-speed Durashift manual transmission. The lighter Fiesta Econetic Technology uses a five-speed manual transmission that also has been optimised to eliminate frictional losses.
The Focus Econetic Technology is fitted with an active grille shutter, which uses vents to control airflow to the cooling system and engine compartment and shuts to reduce drag if air isn’t needed. The Fiesta variant doesn’t have this technology, but it does a new aerodynamics package, with specially developed undershields to help air pass unobstructed beneath the car.
The company is rolling out its Econetic Technology across its line-up, and predicts that half of the all Fords sold in Europe will carry the Econetic Technology badge by the middle of next year, increasing to two-thirds by 2013.
A third new offering at Frankfurt will be a Focus powered by the new 3-cylinder, 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine.

Apesar do conteúdo importante da notícia, não consegui passar dos ... tampões[:D]

Um bom primeiro passinho para carros mais verdinhos seria eliminar os "embelezadores" das rodas.
São um enorme desperdício de recursos. E as toneladas de plástico que se pouparia fariam um favor ao ambiente e a todos nós
