Ford employee car show

Today, I had the opportunity to go to a Ford car show for families of employees. The following are my favorites from the show. 

2016 Ford GT350R
Known for its 5.2 Liter flat plane crank V8 and its 526 horsepower, the GT350R impresses on both a visual and performance scale.

Note the cover where the entertainment system would normally go.
In the R it is removed for weight savings, all in the pursuit of speed. 
The red Cobra badge is exclusive to the R.
2016 Ford Focus RS 
The Focus RS differs from a regular focus in a number of ways. It goes from front-wheel drive to all wheel drive, it comes only with a manual transmission and it comes with an exclusive 2.3 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder engine which puts out a whopping 350 horsepower. Developed with the help of rally driver Ken Block it also comes with a "drift mode" that helps the driver to slide the back end around in a track setting. 










2017 Ford F Series Lineup 
For 2017 Ford is releasing a new Super Duty Model (center) as well as a new Raptor Model (Right).


2017 Lincoln Continental 
I'll be honest I was disappointed when the new Continental was announced. It was a huge opportunity for Lincoln to step up to the plate and they disappointed a large percentage of the enthusiast community myself included when they made it front wheel drive and had it share a platform with the Ford Taurus. It's hard to compete when the car isn't on the same level as the competition.

  1. As a car enthusiast myself, I instantly fell in love with the 2016 Ford GT350R images you provided. That's a gorgeous hood design with the interior looking clean as well. I may have to get myself one of these bad boys in the near future! The headlights look incredibly intimidating!
