First Retail Shelby GT350R Goes for $1,000,000 at Barrett-Jackson Auction

NORWALK, Ohio - This past weekend, Ford Motor Company decided to auction off the very FIRST retail production of the Shelby® GT350R, VIN 001, at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona to benefit JDRF. While a high demand for this vehicle was to be expected, surely no one could predict the intense bidding war that went down.

It was an electrifying day at the Barrett-Jackson Auction last Saturday as an anonymous bidder acquired the first retail Shelby GT350R for $1,000,000! Like we said, Ford was sure that the auction of this coveted car would grab the attention of enthusiasts, but no one expected to see such an exhilarating auction. The proud owner of the first GT350R can hold their head high knowing that their winning bid on this piece of history results in a major contribution to JDRF, the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes. 

The Shelby GT350R will deliver never-seen-before track capability with its impressive aerodynamics, chassis engineering, and light-weighting technologies. This Shelby also happens to feature the first-ever production V8 engine with a flat-plane crankshaft as well as revised spring rates and antiroll bars, bushings and jounce bumpers, unique track-tuned alignment settings and cross-axis ball joints in front. Believe us when we say, this Shelby model is lighter, more powerful, and one of the most iconic racing Mustangs that has EVER been produced!

From the all-new Ford Mustang to the 2015 Ford Taurus, our inventory is sure to have a vehicle that will meet any driver's needs! Don Tester Ford Lincoln can not only help you find the perfect vehicle, but we can help you take care of it, too! To contact one of our friendly and reputable team members call (800) 978-6317 or stop by our dealership located at 2800 US Highway 250 South in Norwalk, OH.

The Ford Mustang is Headed Abroad!

NORWALK, Ohio - The Ford Mustang is headed abroad! Customers in more than 100 markets around the world will now be able to get behind the wheel of their very own pony car. Both left- and right-hand-drive configurations are being exported to meet the needs of customers in the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa. Shipments of the Ford Mustang are on their way to Asia as we speak, and will soon make their way to Europe in the middle of 2015. 

The Ford Mustang is headed abroad, but not without proper preparation! All Ford Mustangs traveling overseas are expected to undergo a series of steps that ensure compliance with the vehicle standards in other countries. After Ford engineers perform specific work on the pony cars at the plant, they are then transferred to their respective port and visit the homologation center. All vehicles are equipped with proper customs documentation and tracking so that Ford is able to track the Mustang's progress and delivery to their new home. 

Ford Motor Company is not only thrilled to have this iconic vehicle join the lineup overseas, but also that the company is able to create more jobs because of it! Ford has employed roughly 3,000 employees at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan and has created an additional 100 jobs at the Port of Portland to support the exports to the Asia Pacific.

The 2016 Lincoln MKX Makes Official Debut

NORWALK, Ohio - Alright, let's talk Lincoln Motor Company, shall we? The 2016 Lincoln MKX made its official debut this week at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, showcasing a new dramatic and sculptured design. Lincoln made it quite clear that the 2016 Lincoln MKX was designed with the intent to attract a wide range of customers in various global markets. It was important that the 2016 MKX offered more technology, engine choices, and customizable options for Lincoln customers. 

The premium crossover features a standard 3.7-liter V6 engine that boasts a 300 horsepower! If that's not enough power for you, the MKX also offers an optional 2.7-liter twin-turbo Ti-VCT EcoBoost V6 that is expected to produce over 330 horsepower! All of the Lincoln MKX's energy is sent to the front of the vehicle via the six-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift and push-button controls. The MKX features a variety of brand new driving and safety features, which includes a pre-collision assist and the crossover's first 360-degree camera. The pre-collision assist helps to avoid or lessen the severity of some frontal crashes with another vehicle or pedestrian. The 360-degree camera shows up to 7 feet around the vehicle and provides an 180-degree split view to help drivers look out into cross-traffic situations. 

A total of six trim levels will be available for the 2016 MKX, this includes Lincoln's two brand new Black Label trims. One of the newest trims is inspired by the fashion, lifestyle, and art scene of 1920s Paris, and the second represents the excitement, passion, and pageantry of thoroughbred horse racing. Some other features available on the all-new 2016 Lincoln MKX include: adaptive steering, integral rear link suspension, three-mode driving system, 22-way adjustable front seats, MyLincoln Mobile smartphone app, and a welcome mat that is projected onto the ground via a folded mirror once the driver's key fob is detected from nine feet away. 

The 2016 MKX wasn't the only one making its official debut at the 2015 NAIAS! Revel and Lincoln Motor Company joined together to create the FIRST high-end Revel audio system for Lincoln vehicles. The 13- and 19-speaker systems offer three-mode Surround Sound, real-time music reconstruction from compressed sources, and a 20-channel high-voltage hybrid amp for top quality dynamics.

Ford Kicks Off NAIAS with Trio of Performance Vehicles

NORWALK, Ohio - Wow! Ford Motor Company is not wasting an ounce of time at the 2015 North American Auto Show in Detroit. Ford Motor Company had been known for making a big splash at the NAIAS in the past and this year the company definitely got back into the swing of things as they unveiled a trio of top-performance vehicles.

Ford kicked off the NAIAS with a trio of performance vehicles and completely stole the show, especially with their new version of the Ford GT. The all-new Ford GT features a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that is capable of OVER 600-horsepower, has a carbon fiber passenger cell, aluminum front and rear subframes, and carbon fiber body panels. Unlike the last Ford GT model, which only had 4038 models built, this version of the GT will be much more exclusive. The Ford GT is anticipated to go on sale in 2016 and is expected to be in the $250,000 to $300,000 price range. 

The 2016 Shelby Mustang GT350R also made an appearance, quickly gaining recognition as the most track-capable Mustang to date. The GT350R has several aero improvements, including Ford's first use of magnetic ride control dampers. The Shelby GT350R also features the first carbon fiber wheels, which has helped to shed 50 pounds off of the vehicle! Under the hood is a flat-plane crank 5.2-liter V8 engine that is promised to boost more than 500 horsepower!

Last but not least of Ford's trio of performance vehicles was the 2016 SVT Raptor, an off-road version of the F-150. Weighing in at 500 pounds less than the previous model, the 2016 Raptor sits on a frame made made of even MORE high-strength steel. Rather than a 6.2-liter V8 engine, the all-new Raptor houses a second-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that is said to produce 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque.

Since its initial launch in 2008, Life360 has acquired over 48 million users worldwide and will soon be available behind the wheel of Ford SYNC-equppied vehicles.

Life360 has been reconstructed and now features a Drive Mode for Ford SYNC AppLink users. Once the user's smartphone is connected to Ford SYNC, it will prompt the Drive Mode feature and will send a message to everyone in the driver's Life360 circle suggesting that they do not text the driver. Once the driver arrives to his or her destination and turns of the vehicle, a follow-up message will be sent to their circle. Drivers will also have the ability to check the most recent location of family members through the SYNC display or with voice commands such as "Where is Mom?". The system can then pinpoint the person's location and address on the map. 

Ford and Life360 will be presenting the app at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas on January 6th through the 9th.
