Awesome Ford

Shelby takes the latest Ford F-150 Raptor, and bumps it up to 525+ hp and 610+ lb-ft. of torque. It’s also been given upgraded two-stage FOX Racing shocks, bigger tires and wheels, a custom body kit, LED light bars, and a custom Shelby interior. Only 500 will be made for 2018.

Shelby’s latest truck starts out as a Ford F-150, but is made oh-so-special with the addition of a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, packing 750 horsepower, plus sporty ground effects, 22″ chrome wheels, and of course, racing stripes, because they make everything faster.

It’s something we’ve been waiting for ever since the reveal of the Ford GT back in 2015: a hands-on driving review of the American supercar. Tim Stevens from Roadshow was one of the lucky few to get some wheel time, and it looks like a beast on the track. But is it as good on the road?

We may not have driven it as hard as the time that The Stig tooks us for a ride in one, but living with the latest Focus RS for a week made us want one even more. Read all about what makes this 350hp AWD hot hatch just so fiery in our review on 95octane.

We spent a few days behind the wheel of Ford’s fastest Fusion – a mid-sized sedan with a turbo V6, 325hp, 380 lb-ft. of torque, AWD, and adaptive dampers. We found a capable daily driver that’s also a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Check out our full review on 95octane.

Originally built for an NHL player, Classic Ford Broncos‘ Naples is a beautifully overhauled ’71 Bronco. It uses Ford’s new Coyote 5.0 engine, a Ford four-speed automatic transmission, and a beautiful baby blue and chocolate brown color scheme.

The new Mustang convertible gets all the same cool enhancements as the fastback version, and looks particularly brilliant in Ingot Silver with its top dropped. We can only imagine how good it sounds with that more powerful new 5.0L V8 and active exhaust.

Timeless Kustoms‘ tricked out 1965 Ford Mustang is one of the coolest cars we’ve seen on Jay Leno’s Garage yet. The retro-modern fastback beast has a 5.1L turbo/supercharged 1000hp V8 and a badass red interior with a roll cage. Here’s some testing and dyno footage.

Get your daily dose of carporn with this clip from Ford Performance, as Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his Formula Drift Mustang RTR through a bit of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, linking two of the course’s awesome turns, and leaving behind an epic trail of tire smoke.

The computers have won. Cars with automatic transmission are more efficient and consistent than manuals. But if you believe that owning a high performance vehicle is about having fun, Carfection has for you a bucket list of cars with “a proper gearbox.”

The F-150 Raptor is back, and Hennessey has a new VelociRaptor upgrade package for it. The biggest additions are the second rear axle and extra pair of wheels. It also has better suspension, bumpers and the option to go up to a 600+hp twin-turbo engine kit.

The Paseo is a Ford Transit van that’s been modified to have amenities previously found only in larger motorhomes. For example, it has a microwave oven, a 2-burner stove, a fridge, a sink, a toilet and shower, gas generator, exterior AC/DC receptacle and more.

Ken Block once again rips up some tires and smokes some brakes with the latest in his awesome Gymkhana stunt series. While the locale of Buffalo, NY isn’t as exotic as past videos, Block’s wheel skills and his amazing 600hp Ford Focus RS RX still shine.

Builders from LEGOLAND Florida Resort created this 1:1 scale model of an original 1964-1/2 Ford Mustang. There’s an underlying aluminum chassis, but it’s still incredible. It recently made its debut at the Mustang Club of America’s 40th Anniversary shindig.

We spent the weekend with Ford Performance and Chip Ganassi Racing to get an up close look at their spectacular Ford GT Le Mans race cars, as they were prepped and raced at Road America. We did our best to capture what we saw and heard, sans music or voiceover, in 4K.

Jay Leno’s Garage showcases a beautiful, durable and (more or less) practical hot rod that started out as half of a rotting Model T. But the real gem here is its builder, Clayton Paddison, who has a couple of touching stories about his car. Test drive at 19:33.

Celebrating 50 years since their GT40’s Le Mans victories, Ford Performance just took 1st, 3rd and 4th finishes in the LM GTE Pro class at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans with their new GT. To celebrate, let’s ride along for a 360º lap of the famed circuit.

Hagerty shares this time-lapse of an old Ford Flathead V8 engine being stripped down to its block, then painstakingly rebuilt to like-new by Thirlby Automotive with the help of Edelbrock. It’s amazing how good something this old can look with enough time and effort.

The F1 Ranger Marmon-Herrington was the first Ford Ranger. It started as a Ford delivery truck that Marmon-Herrington converted into a 4×4. It’s believed that only 54 F1 Rangers were made; this particular unit has been meticulously restored to its original condition.

Jay Leno shows off his 1989 Special Editions Ford Shogun. It’s a Ford Festiva modified to fit the Yamaha-made Taurus SHO V6 in the back. It weighs around 2200lb but has 220hp, which Jay boosts to over 300hp with nitro. Test drive at 15:25.

“It’ll make you look like a hero, it will make you feel like a hero.” With Mercedes-Benz and Audi joining the hot hatch market, Carfection’s Alex Goy thinks that the new Ford Focus RS not only stands a chance, but is in fact better than anything that came before or alongside it.

“A Ford?” Solid Snake? More like Sellout Snake. Voice actors David Hayter, Paul Eiding and Doug Stone reprised their roles as Snake, Col. Campbell and Psycho Mantis in a pair of commercials for Ford vehicles. The Captain Planet ad is also funny.

Classic Recreations’ handbuilt GT500 Shelby Mustang packs a 427ci Ford Performance V8 and a Procharger F1-R supercharger to push out more than 800hp. It’s built on a ’67 fastback chassis, and rocks 18″ Forgeline wheels, Detroit Speed suspension, and Magnaflow exhaust.
