Ford's NAIAS "Innovation Park" Display to Benefit Local Organizations

JACKSON, Mich. - Ford Motor Company's dedication to sustainability lives on! The automaker's NAIAS "Innovation Park" display will soon benefit two local organizations in Southeast Michigan. If you happened to visit Ford's display at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, you were able to witness the advances that Ford researchers have been making to use organic materials and reduce waste, carbon dioxide emissions, and water usage.

Ford is continuing these green building efforts by donating their Innovation Park to Detroit's Belle Isle Park and North Star Reach, a nonprofit organization in Pinckney, Michigan that provides a year-round camp for children with serious and life-threatening illnesses. All of the beautiful plants, trees, and flowers that decorated the display will be relocated in greenhouses on Belle Isle. As for the forty sections of concrete that served as the foundation for the display, North Star Reach will receive those plus two six-foot by two-foot concrete slabs to serve as a central gathering/campfire area that overlooks Patterson Lake.

Ford's NAIAS "Innovation Park" display will soon benefit two local organizations and will continue the company's commitment to improving sustainability. Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability is focused on water and waste reduction and green building efforts. You can learn more about Ford's sustainability report by clicking here.

Ford GT Named "Best Production Vehicle" at 2015 NAIAS

JACKSON, Mich. - If you happened to catch our last blog post, you'll know that Ford Motor Company kicked off the 2015 North American Auto Show by unveiling a trio of performance vehicles. There is one performance vehicle in particular that the public just cannot stop talking about and that is the ulta-high-performance Ford GT supercar!

There is a good reason for all of this chatter, too! Within 24 hours the Ford GT gained some serious recognition and was named "Best Production Vehicle" at the 2015 NAIAS by EyesOn Design. EyesOn Design are the official design awards for the North American International Auto Show, responsible for awarding the best production and concept vehicles making global debuts at the show. The board of judges for EyesOn Design is made up of current and former design leaders from global automakers and transportation departments at top art schools.

Is there really a reason to question the Ford GT being named the "Best Production Vehicle" at the 2015 NAIAS? The all-new GT is Ford's way of showing their commitment to innovation through performance. Every slope and shape on the Ford GT has been strategically placed to minimize drag. Even the active rear spoiler was designed with a purpose. The spoiler is keyed to both speed and driver input, then will deploy and adjust its height and/or pitch angle depending on the conditions.

Between the GT's twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine boasting 600-plus-horsepower and its seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle that provides smooth and almost-instant gear changes, we have no doubt that the right vehicle earned this title. As we've mentioned before, it is going to be a little while before we see this bad boy in showrooms. The Ford GT is expected to go on sale in 2016.

Regardless of what type of Ford vehicle you are looking for, Seymour Ford Lincoln is here to help! From the a new 2014 Ford Escape to a used Ford Taurus, we have something on our lot for everyone!

Ford Unveils Trio of Performance Vehicles at NAIAS

JACKSON, Mich. - It is safe to say that Ford Motor Company did not waste a minute of time on day one of the 2015 North American International Auto Show. With the debut of a mean looking SVT Raptor, a track-ready Shelby, and the returning GT, attendees had plenty to talk about yesterday at the Cobo Center in Detroit.

Ford unveiled a trio of performance vehicles at the NAIAS yesterday, which included the next-generation SVT Raptor, the Shelby GT350R, and the Ford GT supercar. First, let's talk about the creme de la creme, the sleek, the edgy, all-new Ford GT. This baby was most certainly the talk of the town yesterday, considering that Ford had kept the car secret until about a month ago when some leaks spread on the internet. The GT houses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that boosts 600-horsepower! The supercar also contains a fiber passenger cell, aluminum front and rear subframes, and carbon fiber body panels. Ford anticipates that the exclusive GT model will go on sale in 2016.

As anticipated, Ford also revealed the next-generation F-150 SVT Raptor. This high-performance off-road version of the all-new 2015 F-150 has officially been noted as Ford's toughest AND smartest truck. Along with its aluminum body and 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, the new Raptor also contains a new 10-speed transmission system and Fox Racing Shox that help to give the truck more grip and adaptability for off-road excursions. This beauty also has some pep in its step, producing 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque!

The third of Ford's unveiled performance vehicles at the NAIAS is the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R, but you can simply call it the "Ultimate Mustang". This Shelby is the closest thing to a professional racing version of the Mustang that can actually be driven on public roads. Pause for astonishment. This Shelby contains a 5.0-liter flat-plane crank V-8 that can produce more than 500 horsepower! Ford decided shed some weight from the Mustang by using carbon fiber wheels and eliminating some basic features like a backup camera system.

The 2016 Ford Focus RS

JACKSON, Mich. - In 2002, Ford Motor Company launched the first-generation model of the Ford Focus RS. Now more than 13 year later, Ford has given the model a major facelift and will be presenting it to the public at the 2015 North American International Auto Show.

We've been hearing quite a bit of chatter about the 2016 Ford Focus RS! Aside from the fact that is taking the Focus' current list of credentials to a whole other level of awesome, it all also be offered in the U.S. for the first time in 2015. It seems that the all-new Ford Focus RS is doing away with its turbocharged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, and replacing it with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that cranks out around 330 horsepower. If that sounds at all familiar, it is because this is the same engine you can find in the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang!

The 2016 Ford Focus RS is anticipated to take center stage at Ford Motor Company's separate 2015 NAIAS display titled "Ford Performance". Be sure to keep up with us on our blog for all of the latest and great news from the 2015 North American International Auto Show, which opens next Saturday, January 17th.
