Ford Territory SUV

February 10th, 2011 by Arman

This is the new Ford Territory and if you have never heard of it that’s probably because it’s an Australian-designed-and-developed SUV.

This large and manly Sport Utility is far more functional, agricultural, than your typical BMW X5 or Range Rover. Despite this, Ford engineers tried to give it a sophisticated presence using kinetic design language. Of course they were not allowed to make it look too like Ford Europe’s products.

The new Ford Territory’s fundamental interior architecture remains unchanged and starts with its seven-seat “theatre-style” seating layout (standard fitment on Titanium and TS, optional at extra cost on TX). Each of the three variants – TX, TS and Titanium – receives unique cabin treatments taken from new Territory’s kinetic design DNA. Customers will instantly feel at home with the clearly visible Ford design language obvious in the new Ford Territory’s enhanced interior space.

Ford has not yet confirmed technical specs of the car, but it’ll get a TDCi V6 engine.

September 24th, 2010 by Arman

The new generation Ford F-150 was born in Baja and now it’s going back to claim the title in the Baja 1000 race.

And it’s specially prepared for the job, with racing-grade chassis and suspension and tires and… an EcoBoost engine!

The Ford F150 EcoBoost Baja racer gets a 3.5-liter engine with 365 hp at 5,000 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,500 rpm.

This might be a heavy duty racing engine with extraordinary capabilities to tolerate rough conditions of Baja, but it’s also quite frugal for its type.

2011 Ford Explorer In Dubai

September 9th, 2010 by Arman

As one of the major markets for the new generation Explorer, Ford counts on middle east and specifically UAE market. That’s why they’ve spent a great deal of time in the deserts of Dubai trying to refine the car for the extreme weather conditions of that country.

With a 50 percent humidity factor, the equivalent temperature can exceed 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Engineers fitted an Explorer test vehicle with interior temperature sensors in the very places where occupants would be sensitive. A majority of the adjustments the team makes to improve air conditioning performance will find their way into all Explorers.

Dubai also offers unique terrain characteristics to validate Explorer 4WD capabilities.

“The sweltering heat and humidity conditions of Dubai have helped us develop a better Explorer,” said Chief Engineer for Vehicle Engineering Don Ufford. “With midday temperatures pushing 125 degrees Fahrenheit – aggravated by high humidity near the sea coast – Dubai represents an ideal environment to test and validate vehicle performance in some of the world’s most extreme conditions.”

“We regularly sell close to 10,000 Explorers per year in the Middle East market,” Ufford says. “SUV drivers in this part of the world regularly use the broad range of capabilities these vehicles offer. Our rationale for testing in Dubai is simple: If we can perform well here, we can do well anywhere.”
