      <title>2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 at Matt Ford Sales in Kansas City</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 features obscene power and torque, balanced by precision-engineered handling, and can now be ordered at Matt Ford Sales in Kansas City.</p><p>Kansas City, MO -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/04/2012 --  Matt Ford Sales in Kansas City is excited to proudly announce that they have received an allocation for the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.<br />
 <br />
If the originally released estimates of 650 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque weren&apos;t impressive enough, those figures have been revised by SAE ratings to 662 hp and 631 lb-ft. This was achieved by the beastly 5.8-liter, 32 valve V8 engine, which Ford claims as the most powerful production V8 in the world. The new figures top the Mercedes Benz S63 AMG by 99 hp, the Cadillac CTS-V by 106 hp, the GT500 direct competitor, the supercharged Chevy Camaro ZL1, by 82 hp, and even the Vette ZR1 by 24 hp.<br />
<br />
But Ford didn&apos;t stop at the engine. More power requires better control, so they added a 6-speed manual transmission with an enhanced 3.31:1 final drive ratio, and upgraded clutch, front 14-inch Brembo vented rotors with six-piston calipers and rear 11.8-inch vented rotors with single-piston caliper. <br />
<br />
The Mustang Shelby GT500 coupe boasts a sizzling top speed in excess of 200mph. The convertible comes with an electronic speed limiter that restrains it to 155mph. To help drivers harness that speed, Ford added an aggressive new front splitter, downforce-generating front grilles, an upgraded cooling system to handle higher heat, and a sturdier rear axle. For off-the-line performance, the GT500 is equipped with a launch-control system that allows adjustable engine rpm from 2500 to 5500 to match specific road conditions.<br />
<br />
In addition to the stellar standard features, Ford offers option packages for the 2013 Mustang Shelby GT500. The Performance Package offers TORSEN differential, 19-inch front and 20-inch rear painted forged-aluminum wheels, adjustable dampers, unique rear springs, and specialized instrument cluster and gear shift knob. The SVT Track Pack adds an external engine cooler, transmission cooler pump and differential cooler. The Electronics Package features voice-activated navigation, satellite radio, HD radio, and dual-zone temperature controls. Other options include upgraded leather seats and a glass ceiling panel.<br />

      <title>The Future of Ford Is Looking More Green</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Ford’s sustainable materials strategy is to identify opportunities to use recycled or renewable material – in place of nonrenewable virgin material – in its vehicles.</p><p>KS City, MO -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/30/2012 --  When Ford Motor Company first began to research sustainable materials to use in car production in the early 2000s, petroleum was relatively cheap. A barrel of oil was $16.65, compared to the high of $109.77 hit this year. A decade ago, plastic and petroleum-based parts were so inexpensive that it was too costly to effectively change manufacturing methods that had been in place for nearly a century. <br />
<br />
That didn&apos;t stop Ford engineers from exploring future options for materials that could lower environmental impact while providing similar performance. In fact, the lack of urgency became an advantage. "We were left alone to get creative, take our time and figure out where and how these – and future – sustainable materials might fit into our vehicles and processes, and that&apos;s great news for both our customers and the environment," said Dr. Debbie Mielewski, technical leader of Ford&apos;s Materials Research and Innovation team.<br />
<br />
Soybeans were the first step to sustainability. Henry Ford began experimenting with them a century ago, but real efforts began 10 years ago when agricultural groups approached Ford seeking uses for over-abundant crops of soybeans. Ford researchers began development of soybean-based foams that could meet stringent Ford performance and durability standards. The foam was eventually used in seat cushions, which account for about 25 pounds of foam used in a single vehicle. The use of soybean cushions in all new North American Ford vehicles saves approximately 5 million pounds of petroleum a year.<br />
<br />
Ford is exploring other alternatives to petroleum-based materials, from shredded retired currency to cellulose from trees, Indian grass, sugar cane, dandelions, corn and coconuts. These materials are either sustainable and environmentally friendly, or already plentiful and in need of disposal. For example, more than 3.6 million pounds of retired paper currency is shredded annually and either compressed into bricks and landfilled or burned, so Ford is currently testing its suitability for inclusion in interior trays and bins of their vehicles.<br />
<br />
Other non-metal recycled and bio-based materials currently in use include<br />
- The new Fusion contains the equivalent of slightly more than two pairs of average-sized American blue jeans as sound-dampening material to help eliminate unwanted road, wind and powertrain noise<br />
- Kenaf, a tropical plant in the cotton family, is used in the door bolsters of the Escape, offsetting the use of 300,000 pounds of oil-based resin per year in North America.<br />
- Ten pounds of scrap cotton from blue jeans, T-shirts, sweaters and other items go in to the Escape&apos;s dashboard<br />
- The equivalent of 25 recycled 20-ounce plastic bottles helps make the Escape&apos;s carpet<br />
- Focus Electric uses a wood-fiber-based material in its doors and recycled plastic bottles in its seat fabric<br />
- Flex has wheat straw in its plastic bins<br />
- Taurus SHO uses a micro denier suede made from 100 percent recycled yarns<br />
<br />

It provides an unmatched towing capability of 11,300 pounds and up to 20 percent fuel savings.  The 2011 F-150 EcoBoost gets 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway.  Ford has plans to continue adding the EcoBoost engine to their line of vehicles.<br />
<br />
Later this year, a new North American four-cylinder EcoBoost engine will be added to the Explorer SUV and the Edge CUV.  The engine will be a 2-liter with 237 horsepower.  In 2012, Ford will be adding the 2.0-liter to the high-performance Focus ST.  Ford plans to continue producing EcoBoost engines and adding them to a variety of vehicles, from trucks to small cars.
