Known as the “Green Hell”, the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, in Germany, is a must-drive destination for petrolheads around the world. Even for experienced drivers, it can be demanding. So how about drifting the full 20.7-kilometre circuit? That’s exactly what champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jnr has done – behind the wheel of his 900hp […]
Together with Vodafone, we are testing technology that could alert drivers to an accident ahead moments after it has happened. The system can also provide early warning that emergency vehicles are approaching – and which side of the road drivers should move towards to avoid being an obstruction. The consequences of blocking emergency […]
We’re heading to Hanover in Germany this week to show off our latest Transit van. Our largest Transit, with a 2-tonne capacity, will be showing off its capacious size, efficient engine options and even a lower emission mild hybrid version.

Did you know the average school-child grows at a rate of 6 centimetres a year? Kids can even shoot upwards a whopping 16 centimetres in one year… with spurts of up to half a centimetre in a single night. That means that some students will be hopping into the family car to return […]
Angelo Paletta is self-diagnosed with OCD… “obsessive car disorder”. Crazy about our cars his whole life, he’s amassed a stunning collection of fast Fords including Mustangs and GT supercars in his special “car cathedral”, near Ontario, Canada. And rather than keeping his prized possessions behind closed doors, Angelo is happy to share his […]

Gamers expecting to see only virtual versions of their favourite cars at this year’s Gamescom exhibition are in for a surprise. We’ve become the first carmaker to launch a real vehicle at Europe’s largest video gaming event.

You spoke, and we listened (or at least our giant Focus letters, powered by artificial intelligence, did). And now we know what you’re really into. In Italy, there’s a passion for mermaids, in Germany its tree frogs, in Spain its feet and here in the U.K. its Vikings – or at least it is for […]
We celebrated the production of our 10 millionth Mustang with a nod to the very first. Built 54 years apart, both cars were GT models in handsome Wimbledon White with big V8 engines, albeit with a slight difference in power – 460 horsepower for the new car compared to 164 for the 1964 model. America’s […]
We’ve scoured the Ford archives to bring you some of the alternative design treatments for the iconic Ford Mustang of the ‘60s and ‘70s.
Few mistakes have consequences as terrifying as turning on to a motorway in the wrong direction.
