Ford Taurus Rage Concept From 1999 Sema Car Show on 2040-cars
Warren, Michigan, United States
The Ford Taurus Rage is a concept vehicle designed by Ford for the 1999 SEMA auto show held annually in Las Vegas. The Rage is a well documented prototype and a time piece of style from the late 90s. The Rage is one of one and very rare, designed by Ford Motor Company. The vehicle was owned by Ford originally and this is verifiable via car fax. The ground effects are all steel and the remaining body enhancements are fiberglass. This is not a kit on this car. This is very highly professionally done work by the Automaker. The seats are custom by Lear Motorsports. The wheels are an original only done for this car by Italian wheel maker MOMO. The cams have been welded by the number one expert amongst enthusiasts in Chicago, Illinois. The engine has been looked at extensively and documented to be in great condition. The 3.4L SHO motor was a joint effort between American (Ford) and Japanese (Yamaha) designers. The engine runs really great. The exhaust is Borla and it sounds good. Cars today don't sound like this. The car isn't super fast. Its around 260hp. Its very stylish, sounds great, and turns heads whenever its on the road. People ask a lot of questions and are very intrigued. Its a must see. There is minor restoration to be done on this vehicle. It runs great, drives great, and looks amazing. The RAGE has gotten a lot of unfair talk about it on message boards by people who have only seen pictures and have no clue what they are talking about. There are a lot of misconceptions out there by people. Since I have owned the Rage I have been very proactive in doing my best to preserve this awesome piece. I stand behind this vehicle 100%. It needs minor restoration to the body only. Fords of this era have the reputation they have, I can't change that but the experts who have been through this car and written about it have found that this vehicle was given extra special attention in manufacturing to bring the RAGE design to life. You can see in the picture the front ground effect was cracked by the previous owner. That's the worst of what needs to be fixed. Other than that its very minor restoration needed for the Rage to look as it did in the Vegas pictures. |

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
