  • 2017 Ford GT originally commissioned by John Cena - Image via Mecum Auctions

    It seems no one wants to keep this Liquid Blue 2017 Ford GT. First bought by pro wrestler-turned-actor John Cena, the GT first changed hands in August of 2017. Ford immediately sued Cena for breaking the legal agreement each GT buyer signs stating they won't sell (i.e. flip) their car for two years after purchase. The two parties reached an agreement in July 2018. The car has had two more owners since then. Now on the hunt for its fifth owner, the low-slung supercar is headed to the block at Mecum's Indy 2019 auction on May 18. In January, Mecum came to an agreement with Ford to not accept...

  • Mystery Ford Mustang teaser

    We've known for two years that Ford has a Mustang hybrid planned, but a new patent gives us a glimpse at what could be the electrified pony's powertrain. The best news: eight cylinders are pictured, which indicates any Ford Mustang hybrid will keep a V-8 engine and only add electric motors for more power and torque. AutoGuide first discovered the patent image and reported the information on Friday, but Ford filed the patent in July 2017. It was only published to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office site this week. The patent describes a "twin-motor drive system" for a hybrid vehicle. It does...

  • 2019 Ford Super Duty F-250

    Ram's Power Wagon may have some new competition inbound from Ford. Ford's president for global operations hinted Wednesday in Detroit that a new off-road Super Duty model is in the works that's based on the upcoming 2020 F-250, AutoGuide reported. It's not an F-150 Raptor but a "new version no one's ever seen," Farley said. His distinction between the mystery Ford Super Duty variant and the Raptor open up the possibility for a Power Wagon rival with a focus on off-road chops but without the Raptor's bonkers power and flying ability. Ford hasn't challenged the Ram Power Wagon in the...
