Portland Car Dealer: Ford Focus Electric Receives Green Car Vision Award
Ford’s new sustainability strategy has been receiving positive press since its release for its overall outlook and tangible action steps. And as further confirmation of their efforts, the company’s first all electric Ford Focus has been given the Green Car Vision Award.
Green Car Journal presented Ford with the award at the Washington Auto Show late last week. The award celebrates an industry-leading, environmentally focused vehicle that is in its early stages of commercialization or in demonstration programs, but not yet on sale.
The Ford Focus Electric will be out on the market in late 2011. The design is based on the all-new 2012 Focus global car platform and is powered by lithium-ion batteries and offers a projected 100 mile all-electric driving range. It can be charged in three to four hours with a 240 volt home charger.
The groundwork that Ford has laid with such advanced and sensible technologies as EcoBoost, hybrid drivetrains, and ethanol flexible-fuel vehicles has shown an understanding of what it takes to bring fundamental change to the marketplace, without sacrificing the features and the driving enjoyment that is so important to new car ownership. - Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal

Portland Auto Dealer: Ford Reveals Paint Scheme for Fiesta RS WRC Rally Car
Ford Fiesta RS WRC
Ford has revealed the finalized paint scheme for its latest rally weapon, the new Ford Fiesta RS World Rally Championship car. The vehicle debuted at the Paris Motor Show back in September, but the exterior color theme has been hush hush until now.
Although similar to the paint scheme of the Focus WRC cars from last year, there are a few differences. Mainly, the bright green of former sponsor BP has been removed and the base color is white instead of blue. The overall point was to make the Fiesta look aggressive and clean, reports Motor Trend Magazine.
Hopefully, people appreciate it when it’s on the stages, that it will be eye-catching, and create an iconic image people will remember in the future. – Gerard Quinn, Motorsports Director for Ford Europe
The Fiesta RS WRC car is based on the Fiesta S2000 rally car, which has proven successful in global rally competition. Power comes from a turbocharged 1.6-liter I-4 based off Ford’s new EcoBoost 1.6-liter, and is channeled through an all-wheel-drive system. The Fiesta RS WRC will debut at Rally Sweden on February 10.

Portland Auto Dealer: Could Ford Be Building Another GT Supercar?
Who could forget the super hot Ford GT, the mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 550-hp supercar that the company built from 2005 to 2006? Well, there may be another incarnation, or so rumored and reported by Automobile Magazine.
When asked about the possibility of a successor to the GT at an intimate media dinner, Ford president and CEO Alan Mulally chose to neither confirm nor deny. Instead, after a thoughtful pause by head of global product development Derrick Kuzak, Mulally jokingly pleaded ignorance.
All I know is, if the ground is wet, they don’t let me drive it. – Alan Mulally Ford President and CEO
All joking aside, the skillful skirting of the issue was enough to give journalists hope for a GT supercar future, which will surely spreads to fans of the Ford vehicle as well.

Portland Auto Dealer: 2011 Ford Explorer Scores Big in Test Drive
In a recent test drive, Motor Trend found the new 2011 Explorer to offer a smoother, quieter ride than previous models. Thanks in large part to Alan Mulally’s push for quicker updates to Ford models, the Explorer’s new architecture offers better packaging, fuel mileage, handling, and maneuverability.
In response to the Firestone tire tread separation problems of the past, the Explorer is well-equipped with new standard safety features which include AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control and Safety Canopy with rollover sensor. It also adds Curve Control, which reduces engine torque by braking in tight curves when the system senses the driver is going too quickly. And it pioneers the industry’s first inflatable seatbelts.
The new vehicle not only comes loaded with a lot of standard features, it also offers a road/off-road surface-control system called Terrain Management. With no transfer cases, Terrain Management manipulates torque to each of the wheels with four driver-selected settings that can be shifted on the fly: normal, mud, sand, and snow. And soon, Ford will add the turbo-charged EcoBoost as the optional engine.
The new Explorer will handle any country road, any season, as well as most traditional SUVs. – Todd Lassa Motor Trend Magazine
