The new KR, like the original, is essentially a GT500  that's spent another hour or two swimming in the testosterone pool. The  supercharged V-8 benefits from a new cold-air intake and a Ford Racing low-restriction exhaust. "We also tweaked the spark maps a bit," says  Jamal Hameedi, SVT chief nameplate engineer. "Life is great with forced  induction, because small spark changes bring big  power increases." With no change in boost pressure, output is bumped to a target of  540 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, up from 500 horses and 480  pound-feet for the GT500. A six-speed manual will remain the standard and only  transmission, the ceramic-metallic twin-disc clutch already rated to handle  additional power (once in the hands of owners, few GT500s, Hameedi notes, remain  at 500 horsepower for long). Still, the KR will get a new, lower 3.73 rear axle  (versus the GT500's 3.31), which with the additional ponies should improve  acceleration significantly (expect the KR to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in about  four seconds flat or less-Z06 territory).

2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR InteriorThe basic suspension will  carry over from the GT500, albeit with stiffer springs and shocks, thicker  anti-roll bars, and a brace across the front strut towers. "On the KR we're  willing to trade ride comfort for enhanced body control and sharper turn-in,"  says Hameedi. In addition, ride height may be lowered slightly. "We're still  finalizing the setup," says Gary Patterson (who, along with Ford engineers, will  be wringing out KR prototypes at Las Vegas Speedway in the months ahead). The  GT500's standard Brembo brakes also will serve in the KR, their performance  enhanced via chrome-ringed front brake ducts. The production KR will ride on new  18-inch wheels supplied by Alcoa (the show car is wearing 20s).Inside, the KR will be dressed as you'd expect a Shelby  special to be: "Shelby"-embossed headrests, special graphics, logo floormats,  "40th Anniversary" dash plate. The KR will also get a short-throw shift  lever.Exterior changes are more significant, the  most obvious being the two hood pins and that large, functional hood scoop. "The  GT500 has an aluminum hood, but for the KR we're looking at an all-new hood in  carbon fiber," says Hameedi. "Yes, it's expensive, but this is a special car."  The KR will also get a carbon-fiber front splitter, which Hameedi notes reduces  frontal lift at speed.

Buyers will order the KR through  Ford dealerships. The cars will begin life as GT500s (though with the lower  3.73:1 rear axle and short-throw shifter factory-installed) before being shipped  to Shelby's Las Vegas facility for engine and other mods. Ford and Shelby will  build just 1000 examples. The GT500KR is still too far off for final pricing,  but given its fancy carbon-fiber body pieces and other refinements, it's a safe  bet that it'll start in the mid-$65K range. (GT500 owners will be delighted to  know that Shelby will also offer many of the KR's upgrades in aftermarket kit  form.)Naturally, we'll have test numbers for you  the moment a production GT500KR is available. But why wait? It's already clear  this new limited-edition Shelby will be the quickest productionMustang of all time.

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers

Mon, Aug 4 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
