Classic Recreations is in the business of building Mustangs that look like the cars of yesteryear with modern underpinnings. Their newest creation is the Shelby GT500CR Venom. The car uses a supercharged 427 cubic-inch V-8 (the hardware is a ProCharger F1-R centrifugal supercharger) to put out 790...

One of the rarest cars we’ve seen in a long time will go on the auction block later this month at the 2011 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy. The car is the 1965 Ford GT40 Works Prototype Roadster, one of just five examples ever built and believed to have been lost for the...

The new 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 starts from a reasonable--given its level of performance--$40,995, but the heart of the car, its mighty 5.0-liter V-8, can be all yours for just $11,995. That’s because Ford is now offering its Boss 302 V-8 as a standalone ‘crate engine’ through...

Fast factory versions of frumpy family sedans are nothing new--they've been around almost as long as the industry has--but few really capture the mind of the auto enthusiast like the Ford Taurus SHO (Super High Output) did during the 1990s. Perhaps because it was one of the few American takes on...

Shelby fans can look forward to a brand new special edition Mustang from the legendary Ford tuner following the unveiling this week at the 2011 New York Auto Show of the 2012 Shelby GTS based on the 2011 and 2012 model year Ford Mustang. Unlike this 800 horsepower GT500 Super Snake supercar, the...

Joining the updated Taurus SHO on Ford’s stands at this week’s 2011 New York Auto Show is a completely revised 2013 Ford Taurus lineup, one that’s greener, drives better, packed with more technology and is arguably much more stylish. The biggest news is the introduction of a...

Ford’s reintroduced for 2010 Taurus SHO was already a very capable sedan, coming with 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque and a 0-60 mph time of around 6.0 seconds. In fact, the EcoBoosted V-6 SHO was even able to hold its own against a V-8 powered Audi A6, as you’ll see by...

Before each Ford Mustang Cobra Jet gets delivered to its new owner, it gets a test run on a dynamometer, and Ford Racing has shared some videos of the process. For those who've forgotten, the Cobra Jet is a turn-key drag-racer produced by Ford, using plenty of Ford Racing parts. The supercharged...

It’s only been a couple of months since famous Ford tuner Roush took the wraps off its new Stage 1 and Stage 2 kits for the 2012 Ford Mustang range, but already the industrious guys at Roush have released the Stage 3 kit, otherwise known as the RS3 package. Designed for the 5.0-liter V-8 from...

Do you drive a Honda, a Ford or a Volkswagen? How about a Chevy or a Lexus? By the end of the year, your local Chrysler Group dealer (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat) will probably be able to service (but not necessarily repair) your car. Thanks to the recently announced partnership between Mopar and...

The current Ford Focus RS is a beastly little hatch, piping 305 horsepower through its front wheels, slinging pointy bits at you from every angle, and, of course, not being available for purchase here in the U.S.--and that's before you even consider the RS500. It looks like the next-gen car could...

The new DiRT 3 rally video game launched in London today (though it's not on sale yet), and the event brought together current WRC points leader Mikko Hirvonen and Gymkhana guru Ken Block to see it off. The Ford Fiesta RS both drive in WRC competition is one of the highlight vehicles of the game...

Maternity leave is a wonderful thing, but apparently it has forced Ford to take special measures to test cars for safety and comfort when taking pregnant women into account. That, too, is a noble and worthwhile effort. This photo of a Ford engineer in a pregnancy suit, however, begs for a headline...

The Shelby GT500 already makes plenty of power, but for those who subscribe to the "too much is not enough" philosophy of life, a Super Snake post-title package is on the way--and it will boost horsepower to 800. That's not a typo. On sale May 1, the car will include a Ford Racing handling pack...

It's not unusual for dealerships to mark up the sticker price on limited-production models, but a mark-up of more than 100 percent strikes us as a little daring. The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss Laguna Seca has a base MSRP of $47,990, but Mac Haik Ford, in Houston, Texas, is listing a silver example of...

Some owners of 2011 Mustangs with the 6-speed manual transmission have complained about shifting problems when the car was cold, and Ford has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) to address the problem. A TSB is not the same as a recall, but customers who have this problem can take their car...

We've seen the spy shots of Ford's upcoming pint-sized powerhouse, the Fiesta ST. With a turbo four-cylinder under the hood, an aggressive look, and an automotive Napoleon complex, it's potentially the most interesting hot hatch on the near horizon. Today's rumor mill has ground out a tidbit that...

Not much to say about this one. Roush has posted two videos of the upcoming 2012 RS3 attacking the track, and we have them below. Roush didn't provide any lap times or further information, but that's OK. Spending some time watching the RS3 lap Laguna Seca--no matter how brief that time is--is a...

Enthusiast publication Motor Trend put the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 through its paces and came up with a quarter-mile time of 12.3 seconds at 115.8 miles per hour. But one driver did MT one better. This unnamed driver put drag radials on an otherwise stock Boss, and came up with a time of 11.72...

Wild, post-apocalyptic scenes, a young and as-yet not off-the-rails Mel Gibson, and a heavily modified 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe: without these, Mad Max wouldn't have been the success it was, and it certainly wouldn't have made its way into the cockles of car-loving hearts as it has over the...
