2005
Mustang GT Concept | News Update
2005 Mustang are available for
ordering. At this point, it is coupe only, with delivery scheduled
for sometime in spring of 2005 (most likely April or May). Convertibles
may be ordered as well, but build production is slated for later
in the 2005 run and delivery is anticipated to be late summer
2005. Note : that due to the change in assembly plants for Mustang
(Dearborn to Flat Rock), production capacity has also dropped
from the current 277,000 annual to 175,000 annual. The Mustang
will be very hard to come by, so we are encouraging orders to
be placed as soon as possible to ensure delivery of a 2005 model.
Prices have not been released by Ford yet. We are expecting a
3-5% increase over the 2004 model.

Tha
big-block Ford 427-cu.-in. V8 under the hood of a petite British
roadster. It became the legendary speedster known as the Cobra.
It’s now 2004. Imagine taking Shelby’s idea and re-creating
it with Ford’s latest design technology. In the flesh, this
idea takes the form of the V10-powered Ford Cobra Concept capable
of taking two people on the ride of their lives. |

The
Bronco concept showcases significant advanced powertrain technologies,
mating a 2.0-liter intercooled turbo diesel with an efficient
six-speed PowerShift™ transmission and Intelligent™
four-wheel-drive system for a powerful, sure-footed off-roader.
Then comes the fun part. Nitrous-oxide injection for a burst of
power at your fingertips. |
