Ford Taurus Rage Concept Car 1998 Sema Auto Show Car on 2040-cars
Warren, Michigan, United States
|
The Ford Taurus Rage is a one of one concept vehicle designed by The Ford Motor Company for the 1999 SEMA Car Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The car is completely custom and is a beautiful time piece of style and design from the late 1990's. The car features a custom one off body design that is composed of fiber glass body enhancements and steel ground effects. The wheels are a custom one off by MOMO. The interior was designed and crafted by LEAR Motorsports. The exhaust is a custom Bjorla exhaust that is cut into the center of the rear ground effects. This vehicle has the cams-welded and there has been a very meticulous engine examination done by an expert in this engine. The vehicle got excellent grades on that inspection. The engine runs great and looks like new. The tires are Eagle F1's and very low profile. There seems to be some misconceptions within car enthusiasts out there regarding this car and I can tell you first hand what restoration needs to take place. The front ground effect was cracked on a parking block by the previous owner. There is very minor fiberglass work needed to fix that. The paint started out as a candy red for the SEMA show. The car sat in a showroom for many years of its life and in the sunlight. There is some fading to the candy paint. That's it. No other issues other than minor cosmetics. This car looks great, runs great, sounds great, and is a one of one concept car designed by one of the Worlds oldest and largest automakers for a world known collector car show. The Rage has a great following amongst enthusiasts and a great following from people around the world. Here is your chance to own a concept car, a piece of Ford and automobile history.

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
