Back in June, we told you about a contest tied to Ford’s latest Mustang customizer website that would award four lucky designers the Mustang of their dreams. The process was simple enough: choose a Mustang, customize it within your allotted points and then turn it loose on the internet for...

Ford’s list of tuned vehicles for this year’s SEMA show just keeps on growing, and now the automaker has announced a pair of unlikely show cars based on its new Escape compact crossover. Both variants are based on a 2.0-liter EcoBoost-powered SE model, though only one gets all-wheel...

In light of declining global sales and the increasing cost of motorsports, many manufacturers have cut back on racing involvement. BMW has pulled MINI out of the WRC, and Ford announced it was ending its WRC efforts as well. Dodge cancelled its NASCAR program after losing Penske for the 2013...

The boss of Ford’s Australian division, Bob Graziano, ended months of silence on the fate of the Ford Falcon by confirming that a new generation of the large sedan will be launched in the Australian market in 2014. Graziano made the confirmation at the 2012 Australian Motor Show earlier...

Last month, we told you that a rare 1903 Ford Model A Rear Entry Tonneau would be crossing the block in mid-October, at the RM Auctions sale in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Built in the first batch of cars to come from Ford’s Mack Avenue plant, this Model A is believed to be the oldest surviving...

From a profitability perspective, hiring a pro drifter to run factory tours probably isn’t the best idea. Even a driver like Vaughn Gittin Jr. (who just finished second in the 2012 Formula Drift championship) occasionally misjudges distances, meaning that a car or two will need to go back to...

It's undeniably expensive to participate in motorsports at any level. At the level of the manufacturers--and the results they're expected to deliver--it's often insanely expensive. While Ford hasn't disclosed costs as the reason, it's pulling out of World Rally Championship (WRC) competition at the...

Ford’s Focus RS has earned a well-deserved reputation for pushing the boundaries of a factory-built, front-wheel-drive hot hatch. The ultimate version, the RS 500, went out of production in 2010, but set the bar at 345 horsepower from its 2.5-liter, turbocharged five-cylinder engine. Even...

When Ford showed us its Evos concept in the summer of 2011, we immediately said “build it.” J Mays, Ford’s head of design said, “sorry, not going to happen - but don’t be surprised when a new model comes to market with many of the Evos’ design cues.” That...

Shaving pounds and even ounces off new vehicles helps to improve performance while simultaneously boosting fuel economy. While materials like aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber are both strong and light, their inherently high cost has generally excluded or limited their use in mainstream vehicles...

Shelby American showed off its 2013 GT500 Super Snake at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but details on its latest Mustang-based supercar were harder to come by than reasonably-priced hotel rooms. Now, thanks to Mustangs Daily, we have all we need to know about Shelby’s latest...

If you make a living as a getaway driver for bank heists, here’s a heads up: Dodge and Ford have both announced upgrades for their line of police sedans, meaning that you’d best be on your “A” game next time you go to work. Dodge has announced that all-wheel-drive (AWD) is...

Just last week we told you about a 1.0-liter EcoBoost-powered Formula Ford that managed to lap Germany’s Nürburgring Nordschleife in just 7:22, making it faster around the ‘Ring than cars like the Ferrari Enzo and the Pagani Zonda. At the time, few took it as more than a Ford...

The oldest known surviving product of Ford Motor Company, a 1903 Model A Rear Entry Tonneau, has had only five owners since it left the factory over a century ago. On October 11 an 12, one bidder will have the opportunity to become buyer number six as the car is again scheduled to cross the block...

While there is no shortage of rare and desirable Mustangs affiliated with Carroll Shelby, it’s hard to top a car that’s one of one, especially when the saved-from-the-crusher car was never intended to be more than a Ford design study. Inspired by the success of the “California...

Sales of Ford’s entry-level Fiesta have started to wean off the highs of last year now that the slightly larger Focus has landed, but a significant update to the car being introduced for the 2014 model year should help remedy things. Set to debut later this month at the 2012 Paris Auto Show...

The official tuner for Ford in Australia, Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV), will be moved completely in house now that major shareholder Prodrive has decided to sell its stake to the automaker. FPV was operating under a joint venture agreement between Prodrive, which owned a 51 percent stake, and...

In the latest example of Ford's at times wildly irresponsible corporate propaganda for the Focus ST, this video shows Ken Block and Vaughn Gittin, Jr. ripping it up in a "race" through (hopefully) an abandoned neighborhood. Since Block's Fiesta WRC/Rallycross car is about as relevant to the...

Sometimes, it's a stupid, sad world we live in. A world where a prized 2005 Ford GT was stolen from its owner. Worse yet, a world where the moronic thieves decided the car was worth more hacked into parts, and then proceeded not just to disassemble, but chop up the frame and body of the car. The...

Let’s face it: there are more cars and drivers on the road than at any other time in U.S. history, and the sheer pace of modern life ensures that many behind the wheel are sleep deprived, distracted, over-confident in their ability or some combination of these risk factors. Recently, Ford...
