Actually, the Limited Edition is the only 2015 GT automatic with a performance pack. Regular GT auto cannot get PP but it's standard on all LE regardless of transmission choice

The photo is from a recent Ford media event where they announced the power and weight numbers for S550. The big assembly on the table is actually the entire exhaust system for the 2.3 Ecoboost engine. That's why it only has the one side cat because that bolts up to the turbo outlet. After the...

Ford doesn't do factory delivery programs

$23,600 That's the base price of the fastback before destination and delivery. That's why you don't have a twin-turbo V6. In fact, the V6 was apparently a late add back to the lineup when they realized the base price was going to be too high with the EcoBoost 4. The V6 will likely be the...

The 4.2 inch screen for the base radio is full color on the 2015s with higher resolution than the monochrome screens for the base radio of earlier Fords like the current Fusion. The rear camera view is displayed in that center stack screen, not the mirror.

It can't be pulled off, it's spray painted, not a vinyl wrap. The only that comes off is the heavy nylon padded camo

There are still dozens of camo-painted prototypes driving around. These are all cars that were built prior to december 5 and had the nylon and padding removed but there is no point in repainting these early cars.

The patterns are actually spray painted on the car, they are not wraps. Even after newer build preproduction cars are on the road, the engineers are still doing work with the early prototypes but it's not worth repainting the car. They just pull off all the heavy padded camo.

The EcoBoost and V6 are at 52/48 front to rear and the GT is 53/47

The 6.7L diesel in the Super Duty trucks has used a dual wheel compressor. That's something completely different from a twin scroll turbo. The diesel turbo has two compressors back to back lower inertia like a twin turbo setup but more flow capacity. The twin scroll has seperate paths to the...

It's an industry day at the track when multiple automakers are in attendance. Notice there was also an Aston Martin there. It's not uncommon for multiple brands to be testing at the same time because the cost for exclusive track time is huge and because of the public viewing areas, it's not...

The keyless entry system operates much like in the Fusion. There are multiple antennas mounted in the car to detect where the key is and capacitive sensors on the inside of the door handles. The doors don't unlock until you actually grab the handle. For models with the memory seats, you can...

Gas guzzler depends more on how you drive it. It's not hard to get 27-28 mpg cruising at 70 mph in a GT. On the other hand, driving any EcoBoost hard can easily push you into the low teens. Air+fuel+spark = power, increase power and air+fuel must go up

Go for a used 2012 or 13. Not much difference from a 14 and you won't be eating all the depreciation

145 mph for the EcoBoost and 155 mph for the GT

A lot of digital image sensors have a hard time reproducing reds like Race Red and they end up coming out looking more orange.

This is the correct image for active grille shutters. The image from the Edmunds post illustrates the wheel air curtains. The shutters are mounted behind the grille and are opened and closed based on engine temperature and vehicle speed. Air flowing through the engine bay is a huge source...

According to this https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2013/10/22/horses-of-a-different-color--from-gulfstream-aqua-to-ruby-red--5.html Yellow Mustangs have accounted for about 6% of all the ponies ever built, least of all the major colors

Actually, that's not entirely true. Emissions and fuel economy certification must be complete before they can sell the cars, but they can build as many as they want before that happens. Obviously they try to time those certifications to match with job 1 so they can start shipping and selling...
