Ford creates 850 HP 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra

Christa Scott

Automotive legend Carroll Shelby died earlier this year. Shelby was most known for his work with Ford for special editions of the Mustang and as the creator for the race winning Shelby Cobra sports cars from the 60s. Ford recently created a special one-of-a-kind 850 hp 2013 Shelby GT 500 Cobra as a tribute to Shelby.

The car was constructed by the "Friends of Carroll Shelby" to commemorate the life and the Mustang legacy Shelby left behind. The car has a special Ford Racing supercharged V-8 engine, a Shelby American wide-body kit, and is painted in guardsman blue with Wimbledon…

Vaughn Gittin Jr. reveals 2013 Mustang RTR

Christa Scott


Last year Formula Drift star Vaughn Gittin Jr. let us go for a quick drive in his 2011 Mustang RTR, and while we were impressed with the styling and price, the harsh suspension tuning and lack of performance options left us wanting. Gittin must have taken our review to heart, as he unveiled the 2013 Mustang RTR today with a new adjustable suspension setup and up to 624 horsepower with an optional supercharger system.

Of course, those aren't the only upgrades to the Mustang RTR for 2013. The dealer-installed package also includes a new styling package that includes an…

It has a top speed of over 200 mph and, according to the TeamShelby.com report, can reach 60 mph in first gear.

Chevy-Ford Rivalry Heats Up in Nascar

Christa Scott

Motor racing is unique among sports, thanks to its ties to big industry. Nobody ever went to a football game to cheer on a brand of football. Nobody ever dreamed of driving a hockey puck. At a car race, consumer brands are the center of the action. And there are no brands more synonymous with America than Ford and Chevrolet.

As Nascar heads into Sunday's Daytona 500, its kickoff extravaganza, fans, team owners, and racing executives are hyping a return of the big-time manufacturer rivalry for the first time in years-Ford versus Chevy, a rivalry older than Nascar itself…

Christa Scott
Dearborn, Mich. - Ford Racing's action motorsports program didn't even officially exist during the holidays in 2010. Twelve months later, action motorsports (rally, rallycross, drifting, Gymkhana and short course off road truck racing) have accounted for seven North America championships and have served as a platform through the Octane Academy to expose a new generation of fans to Ford power.

Ford is dreaming of a green Christmas

Christa Scott
Ford is offering to make this a greener Christmas with a concept sleigh that would dramatically downsize Santa's carbon footprint.

Santa's new ride would allow Rudolph and friends to enjoy a well-deserved retirement while Santa makes his annual deliveries in an environmentally friendly new sleigh.


Ford car designer Paul Wraith said: "They may look cute, but Santa's team of nine reindeer create a staggering...

The evolution of the Ford Cobra Jet Mustang continues. The CJ, as you can call it, debuted back in 1968 at the NHRA Winternationals. In modern day, it hit the racing scene in the 2008, 2010, and 2012 model years, and has become the winningest late-model in the NHRA, with national event wins in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
