I’ve always thought that the Ford GT (and its forbear, the Ferrari-busting, LeMans-winning GT40) was the ultimate combination of track-punishing power and gorgeous sports car aesthetics. Let not forget that the GT also sounded amazing, thanks to a 5.4L supercharged V8 that churned our 550 horsepower.

Ford Flex Photosynth
In honor of our recent Ford Flex review–and the impressive Ford Sync system, which combines the software prowess of Microsoft with the automotive engineering boffins at Ford–we decided to post a Photosynth of the Ford Flex Limited in all of its three dimensional glory. (For Windows users only, unfortunately.)

To facilitate his nightly exercises in ass-kickery, OCP’s favorite officer would slip behind the wheel of his trusty, flat black Ford [...]
Ford GT Gets the Transformer Treatment
While many of us may sit in our pens at the cubicle farm and daydream of motoring into the office carpark in a Ford GT or Dodge SRT-10, we can at least have a replica of one on our desks. One of the more memorable car toy concepts to hit the shelves over the last [...]
Ford Announces the Shelby GT-H
Although it hasn’t been one of the better-kept secrets in the car industry, Ford announced today the impending arrival of the Ford Shelby GT-H, a modern homage to the legendary gold-on-black “Rent-A-Racer” Mustangs that were available for rent at Hertz Rent-A-Car back in the mid-1960s. Urban legend has it that the original models were a [...]
