The F-150 Raptor is something that has been in the works for awhile now. We have been wondering when we will be able to get a better look at it or whether or not it would even be making it to the showroom floor. This question was answered when we were given the news that Ford showed it off to their dealers in Las Vegas during the Ford Dealer Show.
Remember the different styles that all of the cars had twenty year ago? For some reason we all thought that those styles were cool in their own right – but now that a new age has dawned we have seen the errors of our ways and we are happy that they have been left behind.
Shelby and Ford are excited about celebrating the 40th anniversary with the production of the Shelby GT500KR that has the power to produce 540 horsepower. Ford was able to express this excitement at the New York Auto Show. Only a limited amount of these special cars were to be made – but it seems that plans have changed.
Ford seemed to keep things low key for most of the day at the New York Auto Show. They showed off their Transit Connect Taxi concept – which was the highlight of their show. While we were impressed with this concept we were looking for something that would attract and grab our attention.
What better place to show off a taxi cab than in New York – where they are always being used. Designer J. Mays and Ford’s Mark Fields unvieled the Transit Connect Taxi concept. This was their main vehicle of the day and they were skeptical whether or not it would receive the response they were hoping for. Amazingly enough they received quite the introduction when they showed it off.
