Ford Super Mustang Mach-E

Leave a comment

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb takes place on Sunday, June 22, and Ford has prepared its car for its return to one of the toughest races. It is the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E, which will be driven by famous driver Romain Dumas.

The Super Mustang Mach-E has undergone certain changes to adapt to the conditions of the extremely difficult track. The roofline has been redesigned, and combined with the openings behind the front wheel arches, it contributes to downforce of almost 2.8 tons. Negative camber has been made, the body has been strengthened, new splitters and a large rear wing have been added, which increases the car’s handling for this type of track.

When it comes to the powertrain, Ford has not yet announced anything. However, many believe that the company could opt for three electric motors with 1,600 hp, which was the case with the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck model that was used previously.

Ford is shutting down production of the Focus ST

Leave a comment

The beginning of 2025 showed that Ford in Europe is not even close to getting out of the crisis that has been going on for a long time. The rapid transition to all-electric cars and the discontinuation of some models were a gamble. Everything started collapsing like a house of cards, and the latest information says that even the Focus ST will no longer be on offer.

Maybe this is a surprise for some, but let’s remember that Ford has already announced that the production of the Focus will end in November. However, no one could have expected that this could be the end for the sports version as well. How smart this move is remains to be seen, and anyone interested can order the latest examples in European Ford dealerships.

The current Ford Focus ST is powered by a 2.3-L Ecoboost four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 280 hp and 420 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h.

Whether the American company will change its mind and introduce a successor in the near future is currently unknown.

Ford Mustang GTD was faster than ever on Nürburgring Nordschleife

At the end of 2024, the Ford Mustang GTD showed all its power on the most famous track in the world, the Nurburgring Nordschleife, achieving the best time in the American production car category. However, a few days ago, the Mustang GTD showed that it can do better.

On the 20.8 km long track, the Mustang GTD set a time of 6 minutes and 52.072 seconds, which is 5 seconds faster than its previous record. How good this result is is also shown by the fact that the Mustang GTD is faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder, Porsche 911 GT3, Ferrari 296 GTB and Lamborghini Aventador SV.

After setting the first record, Ford realized that the Mustang GTD could give more. They started improving the chassis by increasing torsional rigidity, improving aerodynamics, upgrading the ABS and traction control system, and calibrating the powertrain. In the end, the result was impressive and deserved.

The Mustang GTD is powered by a 5.2-L Coyote V8 engine assisted by a mechanical supercharger with about 800 hp (597 kW) at 7,500 rpm, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
