The Chevrolet Camaro Come Back Swinging for 2019

By Dave Ashton

On the surface it seems like the main one pony car that hasn’ t had as much lime green light as the rest recently is the Chevrolet Camaro. Hogging the attention has gone to the stable mate the new middle. engined C8 Corvette. On the other hand of the fence, all of the Avoid war machines like the Redeye and Ford’ s choices like the Bullitt edition as well as the upcoming GT500. Both Avoid and Ford have been working away in the press and social media about all their versions and just help the individual manufacturers, but also added more limelight to modern pony plus muscle cars in general.

Raving about existing and future models is definitely a good way to whip up interest. Individually, I think the Camaro requirements another Transformers movie to provide it a boost of advertising, but that doesn’ to mean Chevy have been sleeping on their laurels. The 2020 Camaro has been announced having a host of updates. The particular 2020 model has had the mild face lift influenced with the Camaro Shock concept using a color bar between the lower and upper grilles and re placed bowtie logo.

LT1 A more affordable Camaro LT1 is out, sitting between 1LT and SS designed for trim levels, with a six. 2L V8 and 455HP. THe LT1 also will get SS hood vents plus wheels with all season wheels. Green is now the new… err, green, but its available nowadays for 2020, with other available options like a rear spoiler, Recaro performance seats, red safety belts, aluminium pedal caps, dark-tinted tail lamps and coloured calipers.

There’ s also the option of a ten speed automatic transmission within the 3. 6-liter V6.

HSV Camaro ZL1 Australia have always been lovers associated with muscle cars, so it’ s no surprise Holden Particular Vehicles (HSV) are now marketing Camaro ZL1’ s with all the steering wheel on the other side. Most of the information at the moment about the Aussy CAR is that it has 10 much less horses at 640HP compared to US equivalent at 650HP, but torque levels stay the same at 650lb. feet.

Being underneath the GM monarchy will help along with scaling production, but these will also be converted vehicles from their indigenous hand drive. But this might also be seen as testing the particular waters for offering the particular Camaro in native hands drive in Australian plus European territories just like the Mustang. The Mustang has been offering heaps over in European countries, so why shouldn’ t the particular Camaro have a slice associated with cake.

Electric Formula Drift Camaro The 2 words added together which often brings up a little sick in to one’ s mouth – electric and pony/muscle vehicle, as talked about in the past, electric powered is coming in full weary, so the muscle car manufacturers might as well be ahead of the online game. An entry into the method drift by long-standing Chevy racers Napoleon Motorsports is usually showing the power of the horse in electric form.

Power levels with regard to for the car come out with 515hp and 800 lb-ft of torque. With the instant rpm power of electric, the vehicle should definitely be a contender this year.

There’ s been plenty of look at the Dodge Challenger outselling the Camaro, with Mustangs selling the most at primary spot, but will this particular change over the coming calendar year? Hard to say with the present updates, but the Camaro provides enough history under the belt to know what it’ s doing in the long term. Probably once the hullabaloo over the C8 Corvette has died lower, the Camaro will take center stage again.

Nadie se dio cuenta que habían vendido el primer auto que salió de planta, hasta que Ford quiso recuperar su auto, y se dieron cuenta que el auto se había vendido y eso no los dejó nada contentos. Pocos días después, ejecutivos de la marca se presentaron con George Parsons, preguntando por el auto, y comentó que vieran directamente con el dueño, lo contactaron varias veces buscando comprar el auto, y les decía “Lo siento, ustedes cobraron mi cheque, yo obtuve mi auto, y estoy muy contento con él” y se negó a regresar el auto, hasta que en 1966 lo convencieron y lo llevó hasta Detroit para canjearlo por un convertible 1966 que le ofreció Ford a cambio de su auto, un pedido especial con todos los extras posibles, y el 2 de marzo de ese año, recibió el 1,000,001. Desde entonces el auto permanece en el Museo Henry Ford, aún con sus placas y tal cual lo dejó Stanley, quien falleció en 2008. Pero, no hubiera pasado todo esto sin un vendedor, conoce a Harry Phillips, él fue el vendedor “que se equivocó” vendiendo el 00001, en sus palabras, “el número de serie 01 no significó gran cosa para nosotros en esa época, llegó ese auto, lo pusimos en el estacionamiento para que la gente lo viera y venderlo” y cuando llegó Stanley, y dijo que lo quería, le comenté, “vamos adentro, me das un apartado, el auto es tuyo, pero no podrás manejarlo y no podrás llevártelo porque debe estar en exhibición unos días” Así fue y nunca más vio el auto, aunque el hecho puso en el mapa a St Johns, al grado que el alcalde le dio un reconocimiento por la publicidad que ha dado a lo largo de 55 años. Y lo mejor, su nieta, inició una campaña llamada “Send Harry to Henry” para reunir fondos y reunir a su abuelo con el auto que vendió y el encuentro se dio el 17 de abril de 2019, 55 años después de su venta. #car #auto #másqueclásicosyogui #classic #classiccars #classiccar #autohistory #carhistory #mustang #ford #mustangheritage #concept #firstmustang #originaledition #tucker #phillips @ford_mx https://www.instagram.com/p/B_szQVnD2tM/?igshid=bzhbjj9zf2k4

Chevy Corvette C8 vs. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: A Track Comparison

Mustang vs. Corvette? Go ahead, pinch your thumb and index finger to the bridge of your nose, squint your eyes, and blink hard. When you look again, the words on the page won’t have changed.

Rarely has MotorTrend conducted (or concocted) such a bold comparison. But it’s a mad, mad new world we’re in now. Forget the Blue Oval’s sacrosanct rivalry with Camaro, which had always left the Corvette to chase the elusive, pricier Porsche 911.

Oh sure, the base pony car models will still compete, same as always. But the top-end Mustang GT500 is so excellent it deserves higher-octane competition. The final piece of evidence: The Mustang Shelby GT500 costs more than Chevrolet’s new mid-engine Corvette supercar when similarly equipped. Game on.

The C8 Corvette and Shelby GT500 have stirred up more buzz than anything else that’s come from the Motor City in recent memory. After decades of teases and concepts, the ’Vette finally slides the engine back in the chassis to join the transaxle aft of the driver’s derriere. And after the extremely successful Shelby GT350, which finished a sharply creased second place in our 2019’s Best Driver’s Car, Ford brought in even heavier artillery with a load more horsepower and torque.

  These two contenders offer different kinds of appeal, both inspiring great desire in the high-performance enthusiast world. Both offer capabilities that measure well against far pricier foreigners, without the kind of sacrifices that used to come with the label “Made in America.” Gone (mostly) are the long-muttered utterances about cheap features and fixtures, crude handling, and lack of refinement.

Of course, when you look inside these two cars, there’s an immediate difference. The Corvette is an American interpretation of a mid-six-figure European supercar; the Shelby has nearly the same interior as that rental Mustang convertible at the Hertz counter at LAX—albeit with better seats and some minor brightwork tacked on to disguise its cheesy rotary shift knob and plasticky switchgear. Ford’s interior guys still have some work to do before they can declare their Shelby variants to be world-class premium.

But this is not a comparison test for value shoppers who peruse our Buyer’s Guide, niggling over inches of legroom and warranty coverage.

This is a track test—the literal interpretation of where the rubber meets the road.

The C8 Corvette has come of age—finally, I might add—with a style and behavior that bring to mind a word like “sophistication.” The Corvette’s new shape will sit well with the German and Italian exotica in the valet lot at the country club.

The Shelby GT500 comes from another, more purely American place, the pony car. But since the arrival of the S550 chassis in 2015, the muscular Mustang and its more powerful derivatives have risen above the hot rods of yore, to compare well with European icons.

The ’Vette excels with exotic appearance, precise and agile handling, and balanced power with a nice rush of strong, smooth, jetlike urge. The Muscle-tang crushes like a bodybuilder with brains. Its huge forward forces do not overwhelm its chassis, as in many of the beloved classics we’ve known before.

The C8 Stingray carries a lithe, striking new shape that will grab attention from a block away. Its lines do a terrific job of conveying more of a sense of value and beauty, yet it’s still imbued with a half-century-plus of genetic identifiers. I predict this car will generate more than a few “Oh, wow!” reactions from the public long after it has gone on sale.

The Mustang is a beefed-up beast with bulging biceps, based on our well-known sporty coupe. It will light up the pony car crowd, certainly. But among the elites, the Shelby’s familiar muscle-bound shape may still result in upturned noses, window-rattling V-8 rumble or not. Where the Mustang scores more points in this contest is in its competence in motion.

At speed, the ’Vette’s strongest dynamic assets are described in a list of two: first, low polar moment, and second, forward traction. Chevy engineers have created a machine that benefits in exactly the ways it should: more centralized mass and the resulting rearward weight bias.

The Corvette has long been the bad boy of the racetrack, the Bart Simpson of supercars: rude, loud, cheap, unpredictable, and hard to handle, but fast and fun in its own brash way. Now, the Corvette has finally grown up. The C8 Corvette is more sophisticated, capable, and mature.

When the majority of the weight in a chassis is nearer the center of gravity, the car will change direction more eagerly. Formerly carried way up front under those arching fenders, the big engine actually resisted the steering tires as they tried to pull that hunk of metal around to face the apex of a turn. The amidships engine makes the steering feel responsive, more direct, and more precise. It’s less work. The new ’Vette slices its way into a bend in a most delightful way.

Too much, sometimes���and this is the tricky part of the setup. Quick response can overwork the rear tires and create oversteer. In several high-speed tests, and again here at Virginia International Raceway, we have found some of that in the C8’s track personality. It really will point to the apex entering a corner and sometimes overdo it and end up sideways, with the widely adjustable stability control switch fully off (thank you for providing us with that choice, Chevy).

But when you apply your American V-8 torque, then you find the greatest improvement in driving the American Sports Car: It puts ponies to pavement. The C8 hooks up. Chevy has taken advantage of placing the engine over the rear wheels, and that loading successfully creates forward thrust far better than any Corvette before. The new ’Vette launches hard from a slow corner or a stoplight/dragstrip. Check out that 0–60 time, beating cars with far higher power ratings and even some with all-wheel drive. That, my friends, is traction.

In fact, the ’Vette transfers weight rearward so well that it sometimes goes into another kind of slide: understeer. The front loses grip a bit prematurely as a result of the light front loads. What to do? Is it bad? No, but this is a brand-new baby, and there’s still something to be learned. We believe we will see the C8 Corvette improve further as the Chevy team learns more about this all-new mid-engine phenomenon.

In street-tuned mode dashing around VIR, the ’Vette revealed deliciously instant steering response. It was quick and stable as I carved into a corner, and it revealed snappy trailing-throttle oversteer when I released the brake. Both are clearly influences of the mid-engine low polar moment.

As I accelerated off slow corners, like VIR’s Oak Tree, the C8’s ground-gripping traction rockets the car forward, and it remains well balanced even though it feels like it might wheelie. I found a consistent gradual side slip in third and fourth gears exiting faster sweepers. The C8 has more power oversteer at 80 mph than it does at 40, which is unusual.

The new Corvette’s braking was strong and stable with moderate nose dive. There was some isolation, if not the degree of e-pedal numbness I feared, and the brakes were cooled with some really nice Z51 brake ducts. Last, there was no more float, better suspension damping, but not harsh.

Crawling under the hood, we then adjusted the C8’s suspension to its track settings—which simply comes down to much more negative camber, front and rear. When added to the 8 degrees of caster (the same in Street or Track mode), the Corvette creates camber gain when the wheels are turned, which is especially good for tight turns, and a strong self-centering force for stability and good on-center feel.

High caster will also cross-weight a chassis because the outside wheel swings in an arc upward as the inside wheel swings down. These will both typically work to reduce the understeer that we squawked about in earlier tests.

The effect of the added camber was much improved grip everywhere, reducing but not eliminating traits of midcorner understeer and drop-throttle oversteer and raising speeds with better manners. The basic traits of midcorner understeer and trailing-throttle oversteer were still there, just not as much.

In Track setup, the Corvette’s lap times improved by 2 to 3 seconds with less falloff and better grip on a long run. Tying this all together was an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that worked quite well at full chat, completing the performance of a much improved product. Far more than deserving of the title, this fresh offering is a 21st century new chapter, with more room to improve. One step back with the engine is a giant leap forward for the Stingray.

The GT500, on the other hand, has sprung from the loins of another highly regarded thoroughbred, the GT350. As such it comes from a known source that has been developed for years. It shows on track, especially.

Whereas the C8 is precise, the GT500 hoons. Toss it around. Grab it by the scruff of the neck. This pony encourages aggression. Its version of refinement manifests in confidence for the driver. And the GT500 works in both standard and Carbon Fiber Track Pack form. It is beautifully balanced on track. The steering stays alive all the way through a corner. Quick turn-ins show no evil twitches. Pouring on the ponies rockets it down the straights, and slides come slow and controllably. Within reason.

There’s that word again: reason. Use it when you squeeze down the Shelby’s accelerator. The supercharged cross-plane Coyote-based V-8 clearly makes all of its advertised 760 horsepower. This is another step into the Brave New World of high technology, and overeagerness with that gas pedal will be rewarded with jail and/or hospital time.

Every one of those ponies made themselves known as the Mustang devoured the long back straight at VIR, touching nearly  170 mph, lap after lap. No power fade here, unlike some other American blown V-8s making similar numbers.

The Coyote belts out a stirring bellow or calms to quiet as a mouse with just a switch of the electronic valves in the dual exhaust, allowing you to decide whether to wake the neighbors.

All that thrust goes through a new Tremec dual-clutch seven-speed that exhibited fine behavior on the street and flat out. Manual shifting during a hot lap is just a distraction, and the GT500’s auto mode rivals Porsche’s PDK (yes, really) and does everything I would do, anyway. It even had the savvy to hold a higher gear in places rather than constantly throw out raucous downshifts.

On straights, there’s a rewarding “over-torque” feature that gives a little extra shove on each shift, like a manual power shift. Yet in corners, I felt the Tremec smooth those out. Impressive. The track program is really dialed in. The Ford team should be proud.

This thrust twists a trick carbon-fiber driveshaft into a Torsen gear-type limited-slip differential—a good choice for a front-engine chassis because it doesn’t lock up much off power. This helps get the GT500 pointed into the turn, and it’s also a non-wear item, unlike the clutch-type diffs.

If the driver remains very responsible with the right pedal, the Shelby is responsive and stable. The MagneRide shock system soaked up the curbs and bumps, but it floated a bit under the loads of pro speeds. Happily, though, when the PS4S tires did break loose, it was mostly a gradual, even enjoyable experience. The GT500 has that magic combination of steering response at the limit: the ability to tighten its line while loaded laterally in the middle of a corner, without losing grip at the back.

The Shelby handles this great grunt very well—even with its traction/stability control fully disengaged. (I don’t recommend this unless you’ve completed several professional driving schools, one of which Ford offers with the purchase of a GT500, or have won Daytona at least once.) It’s an incredible thrill, breathtaking, to lay the pedal to the metal. But it requires skill to handle that thrill.

Stopping this rig were perhaps the largest rotors (16.5 inches) and Brembo calipers I’ve yet to experience. Although the big Shelby could dive deep, deep into the tight corners VIR presents at the culmination of its long straights, it was here I could find my only real complaint: a bit of a long brake pedal, which was a little disconcerting at 170 mph. No fade but some squish. They even bled the brakes for me, yet both test Shelbys felt spongy. This was surprising because I recall complaining that the GT350’s brakes were too strong, requiring only a big toe. Perfect would be somewhere in between.

  The incredible performance capability of the new Shelby (especially with the Carbon Fiber Track package) moves the Mustang into the supercar realm, it pleases me to claim. Both Shelby models provide such thrills that they represent good value even at these prices—driving with confidence-inspiring and consistent speed that is rare to find at any price.

So, to the numbers: Lap times for the C8 Z51 and the standard GT500 were quite comparable, though achieved in different ways. The Shelby evaporates the straights; the C8 carves the corners.

The Shelby carries the load of your family, so in spite of its fantastic, predictable balance, the Corvette can leave it in the twisties, driven precisely.

Once we tried the GT500 equipped with the Carbon Fiber Track package, however, it was all over for the street ’Vette. The CFTP Shelby is magic on the racetrack, wearing R-compound Sport Cup 2s, carbon wheels, lower and firmer springs/bars/shocks, a proper wing and hell-yes-they-work aero fitments, and much more. Fire it up, and the Shelby is long gone in a blaze of glory.

So here’s the greatest difference between these fantastical motorcars. Shelby: raging, proficient power. C8 Corvette: precision, potential, and style. The price, similar. The choice, yours. The pleasure, ecstatic.

2019 SEMA Cruise Highlights

By Dave Ashton

When it comes to giving an overview of all the fantastic performance vehicles at the 2019 SEMA show, there’s nothing like just sitting back and watching the SEMA cruise or even a bunch of highlights. The SEMA cruise lets you see the majority of vehicles coming in and out of the show in quick succession. No in-depth detail on each vehicle, but nevertheless, great eye candy.

In this regard, the below videos cover the SEMA cruise, along with an extended video of the cruise leading up to the Ignited after party.

SEMA cruise to Ignited after party

As for the latest and greatest American vehicles and muscle cars at the show, the 2020 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible was on display. By convertible, that means a hardtop version, as the soft top version has been ditched. An LT2 6.2-liter V8 with a base level 495 horsepower will come from the now supercar and on initial impressions, this is one tasty number.

Another tasty offering from the bow tie guys, comes in the form of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R. This is the first proper mid-engined Corvette racer, which was displayed this year with a silver and yellow livery, inspired by the Aerovette and CERV of old.

Ford were also there showing off a few of their offerings in the form of the Ford and Webasto Lithium Mustang Prototype. Its stated to have an equivalent of 900 horsepower from a 800-volt Webasto battery system, but being fully electric, we’re burying our heads in the sand and pretending this one doesn’t exist.

Onto happier notes, California Pony Cars have souped up a 2019 GT Fastback, to create the ultimate GT. A Ford Performance supercharger kit has been added, along with a Borla exhaust system and custom panels.

There was also the Shelby GT500 Dragon Snake Concept, which is a step up from the Shelby GT500, which produces over 800 horsepower, with loads of upgrades and the standout feature being a gigantic rear wing.

Lots more to come from SEMA in the coming days, so stay tuned.

The Chevrolet Camaro Come Back Swinging for 2019

The Chevrolet Camaro Come Back Swinging for 2019

By Dave Ashton

On the surface it seems like the one pony vehicle that hasn’ t had just as much lime light as the rest recently is the Chevrolet Camaro. Hogging the interest has gone to its stable partner the new mid. engined C8 Corvette. On the other side of the fence, all of the Avoid war machines like the Redeye plus Ford’ s offerings like the Bullitt edition and the upcoming GT500. Each Dodge and Ford have been working away in the press and on social networking about all their models and just assist the individual brands, but also added a lot more spotlight to modern pony plus muscle cars in general.

Raving about present and long term models is always a good way to whip up curiosity. Personally, I think the Camaro requirements another Transformers movie to give this a boost of promotion, but that will doesn’ t mean Chevy are already resting on their laurels. The 2020 Camaro has been announced with a web host of updates. The 2020 design has had a mild face lift affected by the Camaro Shock concept having a color bar between the upper and lower grilles and re positioned bowtie logo design.

LT1 A more affordable Camaro LT1 is out, sitting between the 1LT and SS for trim ranges, with a 6. 2L V8 plus 455HP. THe LT1 also will get SS hood vents and tires with all season tires. Green has become the new… err, green, nevertheless now available for 2020, with other possibilities like a rear spoiler, Recaro overall performance seats, red seat belts, aluminium your pedal caps, dark-tinted tail lamps plus colored calipers.

There’ s also the option of a 10 velocity automatic transmission in the 3. 6l V6.

HSV Camaro ZL1 Australia have always been lovers of muscle tissue cars, so it’ s no real surprise Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) are actually selling Camaro ZL1’ s using the steering wheel on the other side. Most of the news right now about the Aussy ZL1 is that it provides 10 less horses at 640HP than the US equivalent at 650HP, but torque levels remain exactly the same at 650lb. ft.

Being under the GM monarchy can help with scaling production, but these also are converted vehicles from their native hands drive. But this could also be viewed as testing the waters for providing the Camaro in native hands drive in Australian and Euro territories just like the Mustang. The Mustang has been selling heaps over within Europe, so why shouldn’ t the particular Camaro have a slice of dessert.

Electric Formulation Drift Camaro The two words added together which often brings up a little sick into one’ s mouth – electric plus pony/muscle car, as talked about during the past, electric is coming in full weary, so the muscle car makers may as well be ahead of the game. An access into the formula drift by long-standing Chevrolet racers Napoleon Motorsports can be showing the power of the pony within electric form.

Energy levels for the car turn out at 515hp and 800 lb-ft of torque. With the instant torque strength of electric, the car should definitely become a contender this season.

There’ s been plenty of talk of the particular Dodge Challenger outselling the Camaro, with Mustangs selling the most in number one spot, but will this particular change over the coming year? Difficult to say with the current updates, however the Camaro has enough history below its belt to know what it’ s doing in the long term. Maybe when the hullabaloo over the C8 Corvette offers died down, the Camaro will require centre stage again.

Ford bets on an electric Mustang to charge its turnaround

DETROIT (Reuters) – The Mustang Mach E electric sport utility vehicle Ford Motor Co (F.N) unveiled in Los Angeles on Sunday is more than another car for the storied automaker.

The Mach E has become within Ford a high-profile test for a restructuring that has been marred by profit warnings, costly quality problems & the troubled launch this year of another meaningful vehicle, the Ford Explorer sport utility.

For Chief Executive Jim Hackett, the Mach E’s aggressive design & futuristic interior represent a long-awaited, visible sign of the overhaul of the company’s product creation process that he has tried to explain to skeptical Wall Street analysts for the past two years.

By accelerating the “clock speed” of vehicle development, cutting overlapping product architectures to just five from 13 & extending the company’s most successful brands to new products, Ford could slash $20 billion out of a five-year, 2018-2023 product plan, Hackett told Reuters.

“This is the first thing we generated out of this new thinking,” Hackett said in an interview ahead of the Mach E unveiling. “We have a lot more coming.”

For Ford Chairman Bill Ford Jr., the Mustang Mach E puts together two previously conflicting goals: His desire for Ford to be a leader in clean cars & make the automaker carbon-neutral by 2030, & his personal love of the Mustang & its growling V-8 engine.

“We are really pushing our chips in on the table with this vehicle,” Ford said in an interview ahead of the Mach E’s unveiling. The automaker has said it will spend $11.5 billion developing electric & hybrid models by 2022.

The Mach E started with humble ambitions.

The SUV originally was to be what Ted Cannis, Ford’s global director for electrification, called a “compliance” play – an electric variant of a front-wheel drive internal combustion vehicle, aimed at generating emissions credits to comply with clean air regulations at low cost. There was no link to the Mustang’s muscle car image.

Boring electric cars were the norm for Ford & other legacy automakers. Then Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) in 2013 launched its Model S – an electric car that looked like a sporty European luxury sedan with a giant screen for a dashboard & entertainment & functional features that could be upgraded with over-the-air software updates.

Tesla’s market value is now higher than Ford’s.

Ford’s own customer research showed silly electric cars were a mistake, Cannis & other executives said.

‘MUSTANG EXPERIENCE’

Those doubts came to a head in mid-2017 when Hackett, then newly appointed, reviewed the design for the electric SUV with Executive Vice President Jim Farley, who has owned seven of the cars starting with a 1965 model he restored when he was 14 years old.

“It’s not satisfactory enough,” Hackett recalled saying. Farley agreed, & Hackett said, “We tear it up.”

The team designing the vehicle started over, using a new architecture engineered from the start to be a battery electric vehicle, instead of the original plan to use a modified version of an internal combustion engine vehicle, Ford executives said.

The Mustang muscle car’s distinctive “shark face” front end & body proportions were adapted to a new skin, & under the floor Ford designed a new battery pack that can deliver up to 300 miles (483 km) of range in an “extended range” version.

The re-do had to be accomplished much faster than normal to stay on target for a fall 2020 launch.

“We were super behind time,” said exterior designer Chris Walter during a briefing on the vehicle ahead of the Los Angeles debut.

A concept for new dashboard software & a display using a 15.5-inch (39 cm) diagonal screen was pulled together in just 90 days by a 15-person group that called itself Team Menlo – a reference to Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratory. A paper prototype of the new screen used an empty Keurig coffee pod to represent a large control knob.

The overhaul cost money, yet Ford product development chief Hau Thai-tang told Reuters the committed electric vehicle architecture should allow for 25% to 30% improvements in manufacturing efficiency to assist offset the cost.

The final call on using the Mustang name came from the top, & was not given easily.

“I was dead set against it, initially,” Bill Ford said. Ford said he started to warm to the idea as he saw the styling & the performance data for the vehicle.

Ford said he did not grant his approval until earlier this year after driving a prototype.

“It felt like a Mustang experience to me,” he said.

TURNING POINTS

This is not the first time a challenge to reinvent the Mustang has emboldened Ford employees to break with conference during a rough patch in the company’s history.

The original Mustang launched in 1964 was derived from a mainstream Falcon compact car, & quickly became a hit, far outselling the company’s projections.

In the early 1990s, with the economy in a slump, a small group of Ford employees rebelled against a plan to convert the rear-wheel drive Mustang into a front-wheel drive car developed by Ford’s then-partner, Japanese automaker Mazda Motor Corp (7261.T). That project became a laboratory for cutting the costs of product engineering by putting representatives of different functions on the same team.

The Mach E is another turning point, Hackett said. “The science project platform for EVs is now gone.”

Future Cars! 2020 and Beyond

Car buyers—you’re in for a treat. Because no matter your budget for a new car, the future is bright. The wait is almost over for Corvette fans waiting for a mid-engine layout, but with the Shelby GT500 and new M3 on the way, the Chevy will have some serious sports car company.

And maybe you’ve heard, but our automotive future is electrified. From Fiat to Audi, fully electric cars you might actually want to drive will be here soon (if a Model 3 and the other existing options aren’t your style).

So keep reading for more on future cars headed to a dealership near you.

Future SUVs! 2020 and Beyond

WHAT’S NOW

Chevrolet Corvette

What’s New: The long-awaited mid-engine Corvette is finally here. After years of rumors, spy shots, leaks, and speculation, Chevrolet will finally peel the camo off this July. When it does, we expect to find a dual-overhead-cam V-8 under the rear glass with a pair of turbochargers driving the rear wheels through a manual or dual-clutch automatic transaxle. Multiple power outputs are expected courtesy of various displacements, with both 4.2-liter and 5.5-liter versions to be fitted. An all-new electrical architecture will feature top-of-the-line sensors and computers for performance and handling enhancement, but you’ll no doubt be able to turn them all off, too. Inside, Chevrolet has gone upscale with a classy, driver-focused interior featuring premium materials and a digital instrument cluster. Although base-model Corvettes will start at about $70,000, higher-performance models will quickly shoot up in price to cover both the development cost and the improvements in technology, performance, and comfort. But they should still remain relatively attainable.

What’s Not: Base cars are expected to employ Chevrolet’s tried-and-true 6.2-liter pushrod V-8. Midrange cars might also employ the supercharged pushrod engine. We predict Chevrolet will continue to offer a removable targa roof that will store in the cargo area.

When: July 18, 2019

How Much: $70,000-$140,000 (est)

Porsche Taycan

What’s New: Everything. For some time now, the highly anticipated first all-electric Porsche sedan has been caught testing, piling up about 1.2 million miles in the process. It’s looking less futuristic than its Mission E concept, but we know an 800-volt system sends power to two electric motors generating a combined 440 kW (590 hp), and that power is sent to all four wheels. Said to be quicker than 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and with more than 300 miles range, the Taycan will be available at the end of this year. Buyers will receive three years of free charging at the 484 Electrify America public stations across the country. Using DC fast charging, up 60 miles of range can be had in just four minutes or roughly 250 miles in about 15 minutes. Some reports indicate the automaker wants to introduce higher-performance variants and a Targa. We can’t wait.

What’s Not: Even EV skeptic (and longtime Porsche test driver/brand ambassador) Walter Röhrl was impressed: “It’s crazy. In all my years of rallying, I’ve never experienced such performance. The Taycan goes so well at such speed, really tremendous. If I had to drive it blindfolded, I would still know immediately that I was sitting in a Porsche.”

When: Late 2019

How Much: $85,000 (est)

BMW M3

What’s New: The 2021 M3 will carry the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine as the X3M and X4M crossovers, meaning 473 hp and 442 lb-ft of output (or thereabouts, due to slightly different tuning for a sedan and crossover). That should result in 0–60 acceleration around 3.7 seconds. (Note: The current model tops out at 444 hp on the CS version.) A year or so down the line, the M3 Competition will provide in the neighborhood of 500-plus hp. The new G20 platform rides with 1.6 inches more wheelbase and has a wider track, which might prioritize corner-on-rails stability over quick-twitch handling. The M3 should allow for both RWD and AWD applications. (AWD might be defeatable to RWD if desired, as on the M5.) There is rumor of a “Pure” stripped-down base model with a stick shift (yay!) but slightly less power (sigh).

What’s Not: Some switches, controls, and knobs. It’s a new platform with upgraded engines, even a new infotainment interface.

When: Early 2020

How Much: $68,000 (est)

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

What’s New: The Shelby GT500 returns for the first time on the sixth-gen Mustang. Using a new engine and some aero enhancements, Ford promises this Mustang can hit 180 mph and that it won’t overheat at the track. This Shelby ought to be easier to lap, too, as it comes standard with a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic. There are no plans for a manual in 2020.

What’s Not: Although it shares its displacement with the GT350’s flat-plane-crank V-8, the Shelby GT500’s 5.2-liter V-8 is a cross-plane design. Between that and the supercharger, Ford claims power and torque have increased from 526 hp and 429 lb-ft in the GT350 to more than 700 hp and 600 lb-ft in the GT500.

When: Late 2019

How Much: $75,000 (est)

Cadillac CT5

What’s New: The CT5 is a new nameplate for Cadillac. This compact sedan replaces the ATS and CTS and is an evolution of Cadillac’s design language. The standard engine is the new 237-hp, 258-lb-ft 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged I-4 that made its first appearance in the CT6 refresh. A modified 335-hp, 400 lb-ft 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 (smaller turbos) is available and debuts in the CT5. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. New rear badging will denote a rounded-off torque figure in Newton-meters. Super Cruise will be added in the second model year. A CT5-V is expected in the future.

What’s Not: It rides on GM’s rear-wheel-drive Alpha platform with some enhancements to the carryover front multilink strut and rear five-link suspension. All-wheel drive will be available on all trim levels.

When: Fall 2019

How Much: $48,000

Volkswagen Golf

What’s New: Volkswagen’s popular hatchback enters its eighth generation and will reportedly grow slightly in size with a few design tweaks. The sporty GTI will allegedly feature a mild hybrid powertrain featuring a 48-volt electrical system that will power the turbocharger to improve low-end boost before the exhaust pressure builds. It’s not yet clear whether the standard non-GTI Golf will return to the U.S. market.

What’s Not: The new Golf will still ride on VW’s MQB platform, though rumors suggest it’s been revised to cut weight.

When: Early 2020

How Much: $23,000 (est)

Maserati Alfieri

What’s New: The Alfieri has been designed from the ground up to be Maserati’s new halo car. It’s available as either a coupe or convertible with three levels of electrification. The EV version featuring three-motor, four-wheel drive and a quick-charging 800-volt battery will top the lineup.

What’s Not: Both the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Alfieri will use a Ferrari-sourced engine. If that engine is a V-8, it will probably be a version of the 3.8-liter twin-turbo currently found in the Levante GTS.

When: 2020

How Much: $150,000 (est)

Porsche 718 Boxster T/718 Cayman T

What’s New: Following the widely praised “T” prescription that was given to 911 Carrera brethren, the 718 twins will similarly enjoy reduced weight, lowered and further-honed suspension, the Sport Chrono package, and Porsche Torque Vectoring. A six-speed manual is standard; a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic is optional. The 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four 718 T (likely 300 hp, 280 lb-ft) will slot into the lineup between S and GTS versions in terms of price but surely will be the pointiest 718 available.

What’s Not: Engine output for the States has not yet been finalized, but as in the base car, it’s a 2.0-liter turbo for certain. The Cayman T coupe and Boxster T roadster body lines remain the same; only subtle interior and exterior distinctions are visible.

When: 2020

How Much: $70,000 (est)

Subaru Legacy

What’s New: The Legacy moves over to Subaru’s new Global Platform, which the automaker says is safer, handles better , and maximizes interior volume. An optional 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-four is now available, and the redesigned interior can be had with a large 11.6-inch touchscreen oriented vertically on the dashboard. The EyeSight package of driver assistance technology is now standard, and other driver assist features are available.

What’s Not: A 2.5-liter flat-four engine still serves as the base powertrain, but has been updated with 90 percent new parts and direct injection for the 2020 Legacy.

When: Fall 2019

How Much: $24,000 (est)

Hyundai Elantra

What’s New: After a refresh for 2019, the compact Elantra is back with more updates for 2020. The Elantra will feature a new CVT. Like its cousin, the 2019 Kia Forte, it’s likely to grow in size compared to its predecessor. Expect gains in fuel economy, with the base 2.0-liter engine hitting 41 mpg on the highway.

What’s Not: Although power figures haven’t been released, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has been confirmed once again. It’s likely the model will also continue with 1.4- and 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines.

When: Late 2019

How Much: $18,500 (est)

WHAT’S NEXT

Aston Martin Vanquish

What’s New: It’s Aston’s take on a Ferrari mid-engine supercar, specifically at the new F8 Tributo revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March. If it looks anything like the concept and revives the Vanquish name, we’ll be extremely happy. The Vanquish could pack the new V-6 hybrid turbo behind the seats, possibly making north of 700 hp to compete directly with the Tributo. We’ve heard the new model is being developed with the help of Red Bull Racing engineers, so expect the car to have a lot of F1 bits and pieces.

What’s Not: Its name. The name Vanquish has come and gone a couple of times—it was first used from 2001 to 2007 and then again from 2012 to 2018. Aston built a few special editions, but this new supercar will be completely different from anything we’ve seen with the Vanquish badge.

When: 2020

How Much: $350,000 (est)

Alfa Romeo GTV

What’s New: As Alfa’s practical coupe, the GTV will have four seats and a trunk, but that’s where the practicality ends. The front-engine, rear-drive 2+2 is expected to be offered only with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive will be optional. The high-performance Quadrifoglio model will add an electric motor between the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6 and the transmission to boost output to more than 600 hp.

What’s Not: At its core, the GTV is a Giulia coupe. Expect the same turbocharged four-cylinder base engine.

When: 2021

How Much: $45,000 (est)

Audi E-Tron GT

What’s New: Audi’s sexy E-Tron GT sedan will follow the more practical E-Tron SUV to market just a year later but with substantial differences. Electric motors front and rear combine for 590 hp, fed by a 95-kW-hr battery pack with an 800-volt charging system capable of nearly filling the battery in 20 minutes. Range is expected to be similar to the E-Tron SUV’s 204 EPA-estimated miles—but less if you test the estimated 0–60 time of under 3.5 seconds or explore the 149-mph top speed.

What’s Not: Squint a bit, and you can tell it’s a nicely rebodied Porsche Taycan.

When: 2020

How Much: $75,000 (est)

Fiat Centoventi

What’s New: The entire fully modular cheap-EV concept. An underfloor battery rack can carry up to four individual 60-mile battery packs, which can be rented when needed. A fifth optional pack slides out from under the driver’s seat for convenient indoor charging. Body panels are molded in a single color with wraps providing other colors. Further personalization is provided by five choices each of roof styles and colors, bumpers, and wheels.

What’s Not: Fiat’s lifelong mission to bring mobility to the masses, which here drives further innovations like 3-D-printable accessories that mount to a mesh grid of holes in the dash.

When: 2022

How Much: $25,000 (est)

Acura RLX

What’s New: Is bolder better? Acura has tried to answer that question over the years, with mixed results. Love it or hate it, the new RDX benefits from engaging styling borrowed from the Precision concept—and that bold crossover is setting sales records for the brand. That momentum could continue with the RLX’s replacement, a car that may adopt the Precision’s fastback shape (hello, Audi A7). With very little brand equity in the RL or RLX name, the time could be right for a (slightly) bolder flagship four-door from Acura.

What’s Not: Future Acura cabins will be influenced by the Precision Interior concept, like the RDX with its optimally placed infotainment screen and controversial touchpad controller.

When: 2021

How Much: $57,000 (est)

Karma Pininfarina GT Concept

What’s New: The Pininfarina-designed Karma concept car made its debut at the 2019 Shanghai auto show and previews the California-based automaker’s upcoming lineup. Its design language will be a departure from the Revero, but most of the fundamental engineering is unchanged. If public response goes well, the Pininfarina GT could go from one-off concept to production model.

What’s Not: Karma recently announced a partnership with BMW and will license the German automaker’s turbocharged three-cylinder engine for use as a generator in plug-in hybrid vehicles, including the next-generation Revero.

When: 2020

How Much: $100,000 (est)

2020 Mustang GT500, Rivian R1T and R1S, 2020 Jeep Gladiator: The Week In Reverse

https://bestcaritems.com/?p=6336&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr 2020 Jeep Gladiator with Mopar accessories Ford teased the upcoming Shelby GT500’s engine and confirmed its debut; startup Rivian debuted the R1T and R1S electric pickup and SUV concepts; Jeep revealed the 2020 Gladiator pickup truck. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority. Ford not only confirmed the 2020 Shelby Mustang GT500 will make its grand debut at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but the Blue Oval also teased the potent pony car’s engine. It’ll displace 5.2 liters and crank out more than 700 horsepower. Haven’t heard of Rivian? The electric-vehicle startup’s two concepts grabbed a lot of attention at the 2018 LA Auto Show. The R1T and R1S concepts previewed an electric pickup truck and SUV that company plans to produce. The R1T pickup is closest to production as Rivian says assembly will begin in late 2020. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator bowed at the 2018 LA auto show as the brand’s latest money-printing machine. Considerably longer than the Wrangler, the pickup will also sport beloved Wrangler features, like a convertible top, a folding windshield, and removable doors. Porsche used the 2018 LA auto show to reveal the 2020 911. The 992-generation car builds upon the previous-generation sports car with tweaked looks, driving improvements, and more horsepower. We can’t wait. The 2020 Lincoln Aviator made its debut in production form in the city of angels, too. The SUV, which will come with optional hybrid power, revives a nameplate from the past and lands a one-two utility-vehicle punch in combination with the full-size Navigator. Via MotorAuthority

2019 SEMA Cruise Highlights

By Dave Ashton

When it comes to giving an overview of all the fantastic performance vehicles at the 2019 SEMA show, there’s nothing like just sitting back and watching the SEMA cruise or even a bunch of highlights. The SEMA cruise lets you see the majority of vehicles coming in and out of the show in quick succession. No in-depth detail on each vehicle, but nevertheless, great eye candy.

In this regard, the below videos cover the SEMA cruise, along with an extended video of the cruise leading up to the Ignited after party.

SEMA cruise to Ignited after party

As for the latest and greatest American vehicles and muscle cars at the show, the 2020 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible was on display. By convertible, that means a hardtop version, as the soft top version has been ditched. An LT2 6.2-liter V8 with a base level 495 horsepower will come from the now supercar and on initial impressions, this is one tasty number.

Another tasty offering from the bow tie guys, comes in the form of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R. This is the first proper mid-engined Corvette racer, which was displayed this year with a silver and yellow livery, inspired by the Aerovette and CERV of old.

Ford were also there showing off a few of their offerings in the form of the Ford and Webasto Lithium Mustang Prototype. Its stated to have an equivalent of 900 horsepower from a 800-volt Webasto battery system, but being fully electric, we’re burying our heads in the sand and pretending this one doesn’t exist.

Onto happier notes, California Pony Cars have souped up a 2019 GT Fastback, to create the ultimate GT. A Ford Performance supercharger kit has been added, along with a Borla exhaust system and custom panels.

There was also the Shelby GT500 Dragon Snake Concept, which is a step up from the Shelby GT500, which produces over 800 horsepower, with loads of upgrades and the standout feature being a gigantic rear wing.

Lots more to come from SEMA in the coming days, so stay tuned.

2019 Detroit Auto Show: Hits, Misses, and Revelations

DETROIT, Michigan—Thirty years after Toyota launched Lexus and Nissan introduced Infiniti here, and 27 years after Chrysler smashed Cobo Hall’s front windows with the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the North American International Auto Show is done with January. The reviews from jaded auto journos are mixed, and the press day crowds were down despite Toyota and China’s GAC flying in press from overseas. We’re pretty confident, though, in saying what Detroit lacked in quantity, it made up for in quality this year. There is more to like than there is to avoid, even if the Japanese and Chinese automakers are the only ones left who still build concepts, and even though Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Mini, Audi, and Volvo this year joined a bunch of other automakers who had followed Aston Martin’s decision to leave town after its Zen display of a decade ago. Herewith, our regular compendium of criticism, the good, the bad, and the philosophical, this time about what there is to see at the 2019 NAIAS:

HIT: Toyota Supra

Too many are getting stuck on the BMW partnership and the long gestation process, nitpicking the design, and decrying the lack of a manual transmission (which by the way Supra chief engineer Tetsuya Tada has not ruled out, so call your favorite dealer and demand it). Can we all just agree that what Toyota has done is give the world what by all accounts should be a nimble, kick-ass, rear-drive sports car that’s relatively attainable, price-wise? Call it whatever the hell you want, the fact that this car exists at all is pretty remarkable in this day and age. And it’s all but assured that hard-core variants will be in the offing. Yeah, what a terrible thing Toyota has done . . . not.—Mike Floyd

Automotive journalists can be a funny group. After wishing for a new Supra for years, some of them were overheard describing the final production car as less than thrilling, with others going so far as to call it “ugly.” “Look at all those fake plastic vents and intakes,” they decried. But as Supra designer Nobua Nakamura told editor-in-chief Mike Floyd, those nonfunctional pieces could become functional on future variants of the car. I don’t think the new Supra is perfect in the appearance department, and its roofline does look proportionally odd from some angles. But for the love of Suzuka, I’m excited to get a chance to drive it once test vehicles become available. If it lights up twisting roads as I expect it will, any niggling quibbles I have with its styling will go right off the nearest cliffside.—Mac Morrison

The biggest, most anticipated thing at this show is not an SUV, or even an autonomous tall electric sedan, but a sports car. Yes, it’s essentially a BMW Z4 built in Austria by Magna, but at least it has its own sheetmetal, which is more than you can say for the 86. And I’d take that Toyota 86 over most of the cars on the market today. Since the beginning of time, sports cars have relied on sharing some components to make development costs work out. In his introduction of the car, Akio Toyoda said he hopes Toyota will build more new sports cars in the future. Here’s to seeing him fulfill that wish.—Todd Lassa

MISS: Toyota Supra

This was easily the most anticipated car of the show, and I have no doubt it will be a blast to drive. But what is with Toyota outsourcing its performance cars? Sure, it’s great that Toyota will be selling a re-skinned BMW. But right in the same room as the BMW Supra is the Lexus LC, a 2018 Automobile All-Star and proof positive that Toyota knows how to design scintillating cars. With all the emphasis on making Camrys and RAV4s better to drive—which they are, by the way—what does it say when you outsource your halo sports car? I can’t imagine the effect this must have had on the morale of their engineering corps. “Nice job on the new Camrys, and oh, by the way, that new Supra? We’re getting BMW to do it.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to have the Supra back—but I’d prefer a Toyota Supra.—Aaron Gold

REVELATION: The Supra almost wasn’t a Supra

In a chat at the Detroit show with Supra chief designer Nobua Nakamura, he told us that in July of 2013 that he and his team started sketching out ideas for a model that was at first billed as a nameless sports-car project. It was only after seeing the positive reception given to the FT-1 concept—created by Toyota’s Calty design house in California—at the 2014 Detroit show that the FT-1 would become the primary design inspiration for the sports-car project that would eventually be dubbed Supra. And the rest, as they say, is history.—MF

HIT: Akio Toyoda

For giving the best speech I’ve seen at an auto show in years, if not ever. No boring sales numbers. No bits of badly faked enthusiasm. Toyoda-san’s speech was funny, it was too the point, and though it was scripted—I was reading it on the teleprompter along with him—it’s obvious he’s seriously jazzed about this car (even if it is an automatic BMW).—AG

HIT: Fernando Alonso

My wife thinks so, anyway. Alonso appeared briefly on stage with Akio Toyoda for the Toyota Supra launch. Toyoda was gracious in acknowledging that the two-time Formula 1 champion (for Ferrari) and one-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner (for Toyota) is driving another marque at the 24 Hours of Daytona later this month (a Cadillac).—TL

HIT: Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

For the jaded, it might be easy to look at the new GT500 and see just another jacked-up performance variant of Ford’s pony car. I get that . . . but whatever. More than 700 horsepower (what’s the final number, Ford?!) from the 5.2-liter supercharged V-8, a dual-clutch gearbox, zero to 60 mph in the mid-three-second range, a sub-11-second quarter-mile, magnetic dampers, and an optional Carbon-Fiber Track package with carbon wheels, rear-seat delete, and more? Find me a challenging road course and let’s get it on. Now.—MM

RELEVATION: Mahindra

This plucky Indian company is showing off its not-road-legal CJ-5 clone right in Jeep’s back yard. That takes cojones!—AG

HIT: Lexus LC Convertible concept

Rare is the car that gets scalped and doesn’t look great, but even rarer is a car as stunning to behold as the LC droptop. For all the coupe’s beauty—okay, some folks don’t like the spindle grille, but I think it works there—its overall attitude and stance strike me more as coming from a place of aggression. This concept elevates the LC to true elegance. I wouldn’t be shocked to see examples of the eventual production version at various concours d’élégance in the coming decades.—Erik Johnson

Yes, please. We love the LC hardtop, which was a 2018 All-Star, and with the top down, it takes the LC’s delightful GT style to another level.—MF

And here I thought it couldn’t get better than the LC coupe. Built it, Lexus! Build it, build it, build it!—AG

MISS: Cadillac XT6

It’s a damn shame what’s happened to Cadillac. Yes, I get it, its sedan sales are cratering and OMG it needs crossovers ASAP. I’m sure the XT6 and XT4 will be sales salve, but they come off as old GM badge-engineered exercises, and beyond the expressive grilles look uninspired. While they may put the brand back in the black, it’s sad to see really capable cars like the CT6 be minimized. At least Cadillac gave that car some serious attention in the form of the 550-hp CT6-V (which already is sold out). There is some hope in the form of the emerging EV strategy. Maybe those cars won’t have alphanumeric names.—MF

As another grizzled veteran told me, this three-row luxury SUV would have been a hit in 2012, or even 2016. While there’s nothing wrong with the new XT6 other than the Honda Pilot–esque side surfacing and the too-familiar GM interior plastics and switchgear, there’s nothing about it that pops. While I once believed that rear-wheel-drive proportions don’t matter on a tall SUV, the new Lincoln Aviator and even the 2020 Ford Explorer (gasp) have proved otherwise.—TL
