production car to get inflatable, airbag, rear seat belts. There are two 3.5-litre V6 engines: 285bhp and a 355bhp Ecoboost, both connected
to a six-speed Selectshift transmission that offers manual or automatic
operation.

LA Motor Show- Ford Kuga
The new SUV’s styling closely follows the European-designed Vertrek concept unveiled in Detroit at the beginning of the year. Although a new Mondeo is due next year, the Kuga will probably be Ford’s most important launch of 2012. It replaces the Escape in the US.
LA Motor Show- 2013 Mustang GT500
The figures of 650bhp and 600lb ft from the 5.8-litre supercharged unit make it the
most powerful production V8 engine on the planet. The clutch, transmission and axle have all been upgraded and the Ford Shelby
GT500 also gets a new carbonfibre driveshaft, cross-drilled block and heads and
updated camshaft profiles. Other tweaks include a new downforce-generating front grille, a redesigned
splitter that is designed to make the car feel more planted at speeds of
160mph-plus and a new quad exhaust system. Its top speed is around 200mph. The price of the new Ford Shelby GT500 hasn’t been set, although the current
version is available on import to the UK for between £40-50,000.
