If you're trusting your teenage son or daughter with the car for the night it's nice to know that their journey has gone safely - or that they're actually going where they said they would. For that extra piece of mind GM is testing a new OnStar service called 'Family Link' that allows subscribers...

We may spend the day writing about modern car technology, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate the classic cars that helped form the industry we know today. Some might even suggest "they don't make 'em like they used to", and they'd be right. Unfortunately, they also lack all the safety...

The 2012 Ford Focus ST will come powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine displacing 2.0-liters and developing upwards of 246 horsepower.

Very little in life comes for free, which makes us appreciate paying less for something all the more. A drop in price of $100 certainly makes Ford's SYNC hands-free, in-car connectivity system something to appreciate. The system is now only $295. Things haven't been easy for Ford with its GM OnStar...

The 2012 Ford Blue Angels Mustang GT was sold at the 2011 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh to a buyer from California for $400,000.

Yep, the self-appointed Honcho of Hoonage is at it again: the fourth installment of Ken Block's Gymkhana series is underway. Due for release late this summer, Gymkhana FOUR promises to pack all of the "precision, speed, and tire smoke" you'd expect. Central in the video Block's H.F.H.V--the Hybrid...

Ford's insane versions of the Fiesta for Ken Block's Gymkhana and WRC cars are nothing short of mind-blowing in their ability to generate power and turn it into tire smoke, especially considering the tiny displacement of the turbo hatch. The latest take on the uber-Fiesta is a "hybrid function hoon...

Why burnout? Because muscle car. Because why not. Because Roush. Whatever your justification (if you even need one) there's always a little room in the day for some gratuitous tire smoke, especially when delivered at the drive wheels of a big American V-8 that's been tuned up to 540 horsepower. The...

The only trouble with flashy new technology is that it tends to be expensive. Manufacturers spend millions developing the latest infotainment and safety kit and they have to recoup their costs somehow. So what can Billy Joe Average do if he hasn't got the money to get a car with the latest safety...

Vaughn Gittin, Jr. shows off the Mustang's drift abilities in both the road-going production version and his highly modified pro drift car.

The 2012 Ford Mustang Blue Angels edition will be sold at charity auction to benefit the EAA Young Eagles program. It's also one mean Mustang, with Ford Racing upgrades, including a 624-horsepower Ford Racing supercharged V-8.

In May, we told you that the U.S. Department of Transportation was rolling out a new program to test vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology. If you live in one of the six cities where that's taking place, you have a chance to participate -- and earn a small sum of cash. What is V2V tech? In a...

Want to be a motorsports hero? Think you can hang with some of the best rally, drift, offroad, and gymkhana drivers in the world? Get your video camera out and try out for the Octane Academy. Four high-profile drivers will put on a four-day driving camp for the people chosen through the video...

The latest word from inside Ford's vehicle planning operation says the next GT500 will be ready to take on the ZL1, it won't go twin-turbo, and the whole line will get a redesign in 2014.

Ford is experimenting with live operators to assist SYNC customers with a limited trial. But can it make up for 15 years lost to GM's OnStar service?

Safety isn't a glamorous subject but it's nice to know that when you put yourself and your family into a car you'll all be safe. Not just on the road, but sitting there and breathing normally, too. That's why manufacturers such as Ford are making the effort to put their cars through the rigorous...

The list of fun hatchbacks sold in Europe but not the U.S. is long and depressing. Today, it gains another entry: the Fiesta Sport Special Edition. Power comes from either a Duratec 1.6-liter Ti-VCT gasoline engine that generates 132 horsepower, 12 horsepower more than the North American version of...

A lawsuit filed by a Washington state technology company alleges that Ford has infringed on seven of their patents relating to vehicle communications.

The new 5.0-liter Mustang GT is a blast, and incredibly capable considering its somewhat ancient mechanical roots (particularly in the suspension) but Ford is no longer content to let iterative upgrades dominate the Mustang range. The latest reports have an all-new model debuting in 2015. That's a...

Today, the most exciting engine in Ford’s global lineup is not found in some high-priced Lincoln or a stylish Euro hatch. No, Ford’s most exciting engine can be found in a limited edition sports sedan sold in Australia by the local division’s in-house tuner Ford Performance...
