Ford 2015

We could discover in preview even before the opening of the show press days , major news for Ford earlier this year . Guest star , therefore , the Vignale line, the Edge concept , and the Mustang 2015. Even if all are already more or less known , this is the first time they let themselves be seen in Europe.
If Ford has introduced nearly 23 new products this year in Europe , models, versions and engines combined, are 3 of them that we could approach
Now presented on a future Mondeo (which never ceases to be expected) , this specific line, very upscale, included aesthetic improvements (colors , rims, acronyms ) and improvements in finishing the interior (leather, specific presentation , upscale amenities ) .
But it is also a set of turned to the owner and to the world of auto services. For example service " jockey" that will take and bring the car during revisions. Invitations not concerts but auto events, etc. .
This " premiumisante " line will be displayed on other models Mondeo , but we did not want to tell us more ... Another novelty, or rather new future , Edge Concept. Seen at the Los Angeles end of 2013, it will be launched as from us, as it is a global vehicle vocation. 4.71 m along the Edge concept is advertised as extremely close to the series, and therefore would be positioned above the Kuga . The program a lot of new technologies, used in Ford, with amongst others a system of fully automatic parking, that can be ordered from outside the car.

Finally, we end up with one that will be the star of the Ford stand in Switzerland this year , the Mustang 2015. This is his first European appearance . You've already discovered with my colleague Peter, so I'll briefly summarize the highlights .
It is first of all the first time she will be officially imported into Europe . It will be on the old continent with two engines. A 2.3 EcoBoost 4-cylinder 320 hp and a 5.0 V8 400 hp ( in the U.S., a 3.7 V6 300 hp is also available ) . It will have a multi-link rear suspension and a limited slip differential . Two body variants will be offered traditional coupe and convertible . Note also given the choice between gearbox and BVA .

In terms of pricing, it will be competitive , as positioned in front of those of the Chevrolet Camaro, the V8 should revolve around 43,000 / € 45,000 . And therefore less for version 2.3 EcoBoost logically ... There will be duels of perspective between these two American icons .
