2010 Ford Mustang Got Its Much Smaller Look

The Ford Mustang is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was introduced to the public in 1964 at the New York World Fair in 1964. It was first produced in Dearborn, Michigan, and it was introduced to the public on 17 April 1964 at the New York World's Fair.

The first generation Ford Mustang was launched as a coupe or as a convertible, and it has many similar characteristics with the Ford Falcon. The second generation has been longer by 2 inches then its predecessor. The third generation got four headlights and a better looking nose.

Ford designers and have given the all-new 2010 Mustang the look of a much smaller car. The overall length and size of the new Mustang are the same as those of the 2008 Mustang, but due to the designers’ cleverness, they’ve been able to make it look like the wheels are further out, further forward and further rearward.

According to Ford’s Peter Horbury "We have a car which I think is more suitable for the times than the Challenger and the Camaro. The center line is the longest part" of the next Mustang, he said, "and the widest part of the car is the middle. From there on, you can tuck it in and bring the apparent size down.”

With rising fuel prices and increased environmental concerns, consumers do like smaller cars because it is associated to better fuel mileage. With this new design, Ford Mustang may have better environment-friendly recognition to the customers.

Awesome Power Potential

“The Shelby Mustang is a performance muscle car from the 1960s. It was a series of Ford Mustangs which were specially modified by Carroll Shelby's company and sold as a series.”

The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is the most powerful factory-built Mustang in history. Even more powerful than the 1969 Mach Super Cobra Jet and the legendary 1969 Boss 429.

The 2008 Shelby GT500 is a carryover from 2007. It is a 2-door, 4-passenger sports car, or convertible sports car, available in two trims, the Coupe and the Convertible. It was revealed at the 2007 New York International Auto Show.


“Both trims are equipped with a standard 5.4 liter, V8, 500 horsepower, supercharged engine that achieves 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.”

The Shelby Coupe differs from an ordinary Mustang with unique front and rear styling. It has a unique rear fascia, and a bulging hood. It features Le Mans-style stripes along the top of the vehicle.

In its interior the car has its standard features such as 500-watt audio system with six-disc CD changer and MP3 capability, power door locks with remote keyless entry, and cloth bucket seats. It also has an interior upgrade package with satin aluminum trim etc. The all-leather interior has a Carroll Shelby signature embroidered headrests and an official Shelby CSM 40th Anniversary GT500KR

As far as safety features are concerned, the car is equipped with dual-stage front airbags, traction control, front passenger side-impact airbags and antilock brakes.

The Most Powerful Ford Taurus

Taurus has been a benchmark for Ford’s family sedan for more than two decades. So now it is time to return the powerful Taurus nameplate. The 2009 Ford Taurus model have gone into a significant styling facelift update and power upgrade. This vehicle was first introduced as a redesigned Ford 500. The 2008 Taurus is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in 4 trims, ranging from the SEL FWD to the Limited AWD.

“The SEL FWD is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 263-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. The Limited AWD is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 263-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.”

This new model has improved its safety with some structural improvements and an AdvanceTrac stability control system. It now has its functional voice command, with SYNC, an integrated, voice-activated communication and media system. SYNC allows you to access your music collection by genre, album, artist or song title and operate your Bluetooth phone and the premium stereo system is had been well improved.

This car looks decent as ever. But I understand the hate of some reviews. When the Taurus was first released, it was way ahead of the competition in every way including styling. But not anymore since it has been successful in the past couple of decades. This new model has improved well in its interior instead.

Nissan “Denki Cube” Electric Vehicle

The Nissan Denki Cube is a lithium-ion battery-powered electric vehicle concept created by Nissan. It was publicly displayed at the Nissan exhibit at Jacob Javits Convention Center from March 21 through March 30, 2008. This concept serves as a preview of Nissan's future small car design strategy for American market. Production of these electric vehicles may be expected to start in 2010.

The electric vehicle is based on Nissan’s Cube minicab. But unlike the old model, this concept is expected to draw power from lithium ion batteries. A recharge of the lithium-ion batteries may take about 8 hours. The Denki Cube Concept is expected to be capable of traveling 100 miles per charge at a top speed of 75 mph.

Its exterior features some new front and back styling upgrades, including a new "electric themed" front grille design with an AC power charging port. With a new headlight design, new bumpers and turn signal lamps.

I actually like it. I can say that it’s boxy but not unattractive, yet it is charming, fashionable and very functional. It is cute and it looks very convenient for delivery uses. The maintenance cost is expected to be low due to it is an electric car. This would be a very practical buy, and it’s perfect for persons who are sick and tired of sedans ordinary style.

With this vehicle, I can say that Nissan is focused on reducing CO2 emissions, reducing exhaust emissions, and accelerating recycling efforts which are very significant for the preservation of our environment.

Spada Codatronca Concept Supercar

This new super car was designed and produced by the Italian-design company, the SpadaConcept. The Spada Codatronca's style is inspired not by superhero cars but by the 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia. The design is attributed to a team that includes father and son Ercole and Paolo Spada. Ercole Spada is an Italian automobile designer who is known for designing notable sports cars by Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, and others.

The car is going to be unveiled in Monaco at the Top Marques show including a more powerful Turismo Super Sportivo version that’s currently under testing. This show gathers many manufacturers specialized in the field of the luxury and race cars.

To keep its cost low, the Codatronca was designed around the Corvette platform. Key features of this vehicle include its ultra-light structure, efficient aerodynamics, and its sharp agility. One strange thing that this vehicle has is its digital readout on the vehicle's rear which seems to display the car's current mph. It is the first of its kind, but I can’t quite figure out what that thing is for. Well maybe it will be a fun experience showing off your speed in the faces of those that get passed by this car.

This new super car will be manufactured in Turin by SpadaVettureSport, a company created and controlled by Spadaconcept. It will be built on Corvette’s chassis for a limited number. It would be great to see one of these traveling down the freeway, leaving all persons who see’s it truly amazed.

McMurray Gets Free Flight Ticket

Ford driver Jamie McMurray recently conquered more than the Daytona International Speedway but also the skies when he was taken for a ride by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

Before the first race of the season, McMurray was invited to fly with the Thunderbirds according to The Auto Channel. Capt. Elizabeth Kreft, Thunderbird No. 12. pointed out that the reason why they chose McMurray.

"We invited Jamie out for a flight because as a NASCAR race champion he understands the dedication and teamwork involved in the pursuit of perfection," said Capt. Kreft. "We wanted to show Jamie - and thousands of race fans - the Air Force's commitment to those same professional goals."

"Each person who steps into our jets will know why we understand the power of speed and accuracy, and why we choose to put on the uniform and continue to serve our country," she added.

When it was time to take to the air, the Ford driver shared a plane with Major Tony Mulhare Flying Thunderbird No.8. After several maneuvers which I am sure would have had me throwing up, the two landed safely and Jamie was awarded a 9-G pin for being able to endure forces of up to 9G.

The Ford driver is full of praise for the Thunderbirds. "I can't believe we just did what we did," said McMurray. "What a thrill to be able to fly with some of the greatest pilots in the world. Today Major Mulhare showed me what it is like to fly at speeds of over 500mph. The minute we took off, I knew it was going to be a fun ride."

It's too bad though that he did not carry the jet's speed with him in Daytona.

Kvapil, Fastest Ford Driver

The 50^th staging of the Dayton 500 is close at hand and the pole qualifier was held recently. Jimmie Johnson, two-time defending champion took the pole position making another good start for Chevrolet. Beside Johnson on the starting grid is Michael Waltrip driving a Toyota.

Unfortunately, no Toyota driver was able to get into the top two spot. In fact, the fastest driver only had the seventh fastest lap time. And his name is Travis Kvapil. Just a tip here: if you are playing fantasy racing, you can use Kvapil as your fifth driver.

The final position of other drivers except Johnson and Waltrip will be decided on Thursday at the Gatorade Duel 150. Kvapil said that he is excited to get back on the tack again.

"I’m excited to get back here on Wednesday and see how these cars drive. I’ve talked to a lot of drivers and they didn’t have a lot of good things to say about how they drove, so hopefully we can get out there and work on our handling package and get it to drive comfortably and stable and worry about Thursday. Then we’ll worry about what we think we can apply for Sunday," reported the Kvapil who will drive the No. 28 K&N Filters Ford Fusion.

Kvapil is confident going into the duel. "We think we had a little bit in the bank, but you just never know. We’re happy with that. Anytime you can repeat or pick up just a little bit you’ve got to be pleased. We definitely made all the right moves and did all the right things over the past few days, so we’re happy with where we’re at. That should get us toward the front of the 150 and we’re excited to see what we’ll learn in the 150 that we can apply to Sunday," he added.
