LEE IACOCCA is a name synonymous with the automotive industry, from his beginnings at Ford and rapid progression up the ranks at the blue oval camp, to the famous rescue of Chrysler in the late 70s and early 80s.
It was his time at Ford, however, that saw the unveilling of the original Ford Mustang [...]
WHEN WE PUT the Ford Fiesta Zetec two-door under the TMR microscope back in March, we found it an absolute delight to drive. “Approaching brilliant,” we said.
We also proffered the view that this car, the Fiesta, Ford’s steamrolling entry into the light car segment which is bolting out of showrooms in every market it’s [...]
THE UNDERBELLY TV SERIES has garnered critical acclaim in Australia for its first two instalments, and now one of its quiet performers (or not so quiet, depending on your perspective) is set to enter the spotlight in its own right.
Driven as a getaway car in an episode of Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities, [...]
EARLIER THIS YEAR Ford’s Ranger ute received a minor cosmetic update, but further changes are already in store for the medium-weight commercial load lugger.
These spy photos show a front treatment that’s almost unchanged (this mule appears to be wearing a front bumper purloined from the current Mazda BT-50 range), however it’s the subtler differences that [...]
FORD LOOKS SET to add another economy-enhancing technology to its engines to sit above the ‘coming-soon’ Eco-Boost range of engines, set to debut in the US-market Lincoln MKS.
The system, dubbed Direct Injection Octane Boost, has the ability to improve fuel economy by a further five to ten percent. It works by injecting a quick burst [...]
WITH US MILITARY recruitment hitting an all-time low, the US Air Force is exploring new ways to draw interest from potential recruits. One such strategy involved building two very crazy concepts based on the 2009 Dodge Challenger and the 2009 Ford Mustang.
Teaming up with California-based Galpin Auto Sport, the USAF transformed the Challenger into a [...]
Young drivers across the world will be reeling at news that Ford has developed new technology that will allow parents to exert greater control over the way their children drive, limiting the risk of an accident on the road.
Focusing on a new ‘smart key’ technology, the system will offer a range of security and safety [...]
So, Ford thought that its Fusion Hybrid would be able to travel 1600 kilometres (1000 miles) on a single tank of petrol and decided to test its theory on the weekend. The result? A resounding success: come the end of its journey, the Fusion Hybrid still had around one third of a tank of fuel [...]
Wow, that title really took a dive towards the end there, didn’t it?
Ford is hoping for better though, as it turns to social networking outlets like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to help it ‘get in good’ with the cool kids.
In an effort to build the US market’s interest in small cars – a segment strong [...]
In these times of heightened environmental awareness, fuel economy is the big-ticket item for car makers and the better their figures look, the better the public perception.
With this in mind, Ford North America is aiming to travel 1609 kilometres (1000 miles) on a single tank of juice in its new mid-size Fusion Hybrid in the [...]
Those quick to dismiss American cars as being of poor quality may have one less leg to stand on, according to a survey undertaken for Ford North America by pollsters RDA Group.
The survey measures initial quality in two categories: the number of “things gone wrong”, and customer satisfaction with the quality of their new Ford [...]
As you’ve no doubt already heard (you DO read TMR obsessively, right?) Ford’s evergreen Mustang is celebrating its 45th birthday this year.
Fans of the original pony car are already gathering around the USA to pay tribute to the car, but one well-wisher is more than a little unexpected. Hyundai Motor America just put up this [...]
Ford has announced it is another step closer to production of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Ford America, in conjunction with supplier Johnson Controls-Saft, has announced plans to build its first Lithium-ion battery facility in Holland, Michigan.
The partnership with Johnson Controls-Saft will see an advanced Lithium-ion battery system developed for the company’s first commercial plug-in vehicles, [...]
Certain badges simply can’t be retired. Nissan’s Z and GT-R models, the MINI, the Beetle, the Camaro. Some of them have seen a model in showrooms in just about every decade since their birth; others have had the cobwebs dusted off the badge and joined us again after a long absence.
In the case of the [...]
Ford Australia Boss, the disarmingly forthright Marin Burela, today in a media briefing gave the clearest indication yet that the future of the Falcon is bound into Ford’s global ‘One Ford’ model strategy.
Furthermore, he said that “by the end of 2010 or 2011, we’ll be making a decision on our next large car.”
While he would [...]
As part of an effort to spread the word on Ford’s blue-collar hero car, Formula D star Vaughn Gitten Jnr recently travelled to Japan with the 2010 Ford Mustang. While he was there, Gitten Jnr spent most of his time doing official duties for Ford, showcasing the car at public events and drift shows.
But that [...]

As motoring companies worldwide slash costs in an attempt to survive the Global Financial Crisis, the Ford Motor Company has announced measures to reduce its debt by 38 percent.
The Detroit-based automaker trimmed debt in its portfolio by US$9.9 billion (AU$13.9b) from US$25.8 billion following the completion of the largest financial restructure [...]
While investigating the Patent Office files for applications which may impact on their clients, US patent law firm Stamoulis & Weinblatt has stumbled upon a patent application for a turbocharged pushrod V8, lodged by none other than Ford.
To break it down, the patent application describes a longitudinal multi-cylinder engine with intake manifolds mounted outboard of [...]
After Ford put plans for the Fiesta ST/XR4 on hold indefinitely, rumours that the Fiesta RS (old model pictured) has also been put on ice come as no surprise.
If it ever does see the light of day, the RS would to be the hottest Fiesta on offer and sit above the ST/XR4 in every way [...]
How much would you expect to get paid if you had presided over a $USD14.7 billion (AUD$21 billion) loss and a 53 percent fall in share value over the year?
Not the USD$13.6 million pay-packet that Ford US CEO Alan Mulally pocketed for 2008 I’d wager.
Now - and I’m guessing here - but I reckon the [...]
As part of its plan to globalise as many of its models as possible (see our Ford Taurus article), Ford has announced that its North American operations will be responsible for the company’s next-generation mid-size sedan platform.
Ford is expected to use its European-developed platform – currently underpinning the Ford Mondeo – as a starting point, [...]
What you’re looking at here is a modified version of the Ford F650 Super Truck XUV (Xtreme Utility Vehicle, of course).
Powertrain options include a 300hp Caterpillar mill with a mere 1220Nm (900lb-ft) of torque, and the whole thing will sting you about US$95,000 (AUD$145,000) - as a starting price.
The Ford F650 is offered as a [...]
In a breakthrough for the United States’ struggling carmakers, Ford has struck a deal with the United Auto Workers union that will save the company millions of dollars in payroll and health care obligations.
Following a record loss of USD$14.6 billion in 2008, and with car and truck sales down 48.5 percent in February, the deal [...]
Last month we reported that Ford is looking likely to sell off Volvo, and that certain Chinese brands are reportedly interested in adding the prestigious European badge to their portfolio.
Today news has come in that the Chinese government has approved Chery’s bid to take the Swedish automaker off Ford’s hands.
However, government approval or not, Chery [...]
With electric vehicles capturing the hearts and minds of greenies and frugalists everywhere, Ford CEO Alan Mullaly has declared that the majority of Ford models within the next decade will be electric.
That’s not to say Ford doesn’t already have electric offerings on the road ahead – the company has outlined plans to get a battery-powered Transit [...]
UK website Autocar reports that the Ford Fiesta ST (sold locally as the Fiesta XR4) has been shelved indefinitely. This could very well mean that the little hot-hatch may never see the light of day.
It’s a shame for small car enthusiasts as our recent road test of the Ford Fiesta Zetec, which sits below the [...]
While Ford Motor Company has opted to take the high road and avoid seeking government aid on the path to profitability, the immediate future is looking grim. The company today announced a 46% drop in US sales for February.
Ford is the first company to report its sales figures for February, and the numbers from its [...]
Drifting. It’s a deadly serious form of motorsport to some and a passing fad to others, but no matter what your opinion everyone agrees that it takes a certain level of finesse to initiate, hold and prolong a good slide.
Professional drifter Vaughn Gitten Junior has the magic touch, and he makes a living getting cars [...]
If the rumoured words of a Ford insider are anything to go by, we’re in the middle of the end of an era – and we haven’t even realised it yet. Sure, the economy’s been better, but we’ll pull through… right?
According to British web rag iMotor, a conversation with an unnamed Ford staffer revealed that [...]
Don’t have the cash for your own Mustang GT350 replica but can afford an SW20 Toyota MR2 and a big wad of fibreglass? Ride Cars from the UK have got something that could be right up your alley.
