Well, we`ve lived to see this happening. Ford made an off-road version based on the Ford Focus 3. This car, named X Road has 17 inch wheels, silver paint and a new body.
They say the suspensions remained the same but the car is a bit bigger. The engine is 1.8-liter 125 hp , enough for this car but we`d like to see a bigger engine available as well. The car will be available in Netherlands and only 300 units will be sold.
Mountune, the British tuner from Ford came with an sportier version of the Ford Fiesta. They upgraded the 1.6 Liter Version from 120 BHP to 140 BHP. This package, which is basicly an upgrade costs only 1.400 Euro and will be available for the Fiesta Ti-VCT Sport and Titanium. 20 BHP more are enough to get this little car to 60 in just 7.9 Seconds with 2 Seconds faster than the standard version.

Well the title says everything - Vaughn Gittin Jr made the longest drift in the world, around 6,285 feet or 1.19 Miles compared with just 4,137 feet how the previous record was. He still waits for the guys at Guinness to make it official but we`ve seen enough. Watch the video below.
You may want to read this – The evolution of Ford Europe`s Kinetic design makes its debut in the Ford Iosis Max. This is really a good news since we all loved the new look of mondeo and focus. Ford announced that starting the next generation of Focus we`ll see the same model in US and in Europe. Another good thing about this new model is the engine: 1.6 liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine with “just” 178bhp and a dual clutch transmission.
We can hardly wait to see this model in action.

Ford makes everything it can to stay alive and most importantly to stay ahead of its competition. The new prices announced for the 2010 Mustang comes as a confirmation of this. With a price starting at $20,995 for the V6-Engine powered Ford makes it clear that their new pony will be cheaper than their competition`s cars. For example the Hyundai Genesis Coupe costs around $22.000, Challenger SE $22,545 and the Camaro LS $22.995.
The more powerful version – the Mustang GT will start from $27,995 compared with the Challenger R/T which costs $30,545 and the Camaro SS at $30,995. The ultimate Mustang – the Shelby GT500 Coupe will cost around $46,325 again cheaper than its competition.
