Ford Introduces Innovative Performance Shift Light Indicator for Mustang Shelby GT350

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shift light indicator

This fall we are expecting to see the new Mustang Shelby GT350 fully revealed but before this happens, we have something really exciting to share. One of the most important things for any driver is to stay focused on the road as much as possible, avoiding unnecessary distractions. In order to optimize the safe driving experience, Ford has now introduced their innovative Performance Shift Light Indicator.

This newly introduced technology offers the advantage of a shift light, thus enabling drivers to keep their eyes on the track instead of constantly checking their tachometer. But what exactly does the ground-breaking shift light indicator represent? It is a heads-up display positioned right in front of the person who drives the car. The indicator can be controlled via the driver information center in the gauge cluster. Customers have the option to adjust the light intensity and to set their own shift points. Moreover, they can choose between three different modes, including: Track, Tach and Drag.

Track Mode: when engine revs build, LEDs light up from the outside ends to the center until the shift point is reached. After that the entire LED bar flashes.
Tach Mode: the amber LEDs light up consecutively from left to right as engine revs build to reveal an easy to see tachometer.
Drag Mode: it allows the driver to set their own shift point as well. This time, however, the whole LED light bar stays dark at first. Then it starts flashing repeatedly when the engine reaches the preset rpm threshold.

The heads-up shift light comes as standard on the all new Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R. An interesting fact is that Performance Shift Light Indicator was inspired by an already existing hardware. Precisely, Ford engineer Mike Makled originally built a prototype version of the indicator in his Ford Taurus SHO. While driving, he came to a sudden stop in traffic and the car’s collision warning with brake support system flashed its red LED heads-up display. This led Makled into thinking.

As previously mentioned, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R are being introduced later this year. The models are envisioned as really special as they will be limited to 137 units only. The cars will be built in order to honor the original 1965 Shelby GT350 created by Shelby American.

ROCKET II Trike: Frogman’s 1000 hp Beast

Let’s tell you a story about a guy, who decided to build an incredibly awesome bike, no, motor, almost, he calls it trike. And what is so special about it? Let’s tell the story first.

Tim Cotterill, better known as Frogman was born back in 1950 in England. Nothing interesting so far. But here we go. At the age of fifteen he left school, so he can complete a six-year engineering apprenticeship and when he was ready, he became sort of obsessed with metal working. Badass to the bone. Some years later, he began to feel a deep desire to own his personal motorbike. At this time Hells Angels and Easy Rider were influenced by the British motorbike scene and Tim envied their custom made machines. And the passion and love of motorbikes and curving metal led him in a long and interesting journey.

Frogman has always loved the top speed and the dragster races, so he started building his so called Rockets. At the moment he constructed Rocket I and Rocket II. And he is working on a project, that will eventually present the Rocket III. For the latest Rocket available, the II model, Tim cooperated with designer and builder Michael Leeds. It took more than three years, but the beast finally roared with power and passion. Interesting is that, when Frogman got it for registration, the female cop looked the machine and instantly said “ok”. Nice and easy. So, what does the ROCKET II offers?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozZ_UfSRYS4

The mighty ROCKET II

Weight: 2500lbs
Motor: John Arruzza – Arruzza High Performance, North Carolina
16 plug, 426 Hemi 1 of only 50 cast blocks, 1000hp 871 blower
0-100mph 4.5 seconds
Top Speed: “Who knows?”
Headers: Bassett Racing, Anaheim, CA (Speedboat headers)
Transmission: 3 speed Torqueflite
Body: Randy Grubb, Oregon
Electrical: Dave Nelson MSD ignition
Wheelbase: 12ft
Wheels: Front wheel is homage to Bonneville Salt Flats
Front rim made out of a block of aluminum 18×26 – 50lb rim inspired by the Viper
Tomahawk 2 front tires – 24in Metzler
Back axle: Kugel Komponents – La Habra, CA
20 inch rims on back
Mickey Thompson tires 18×31
9” inboard brake pistons
Custom speedometer: Classic Instruments
Back lights: ’59 Cadillac

My whole life has become a fantasy.

Throughout his life, Tim has created numerous vehicles and sculptures of metal: animals, birds and there is even his golden bird and animal sculptures in some art collections around the world. Back in 1990 he emigrated to California and devoted himself to the creation of bronze sculptures. And when he went out on a street to participate in affair, there were so many orders, that he couldn’t even answer them all! He now has 180 designs and offers some casting to ship all over the world.

Toyota’s 50th Anniversary in UK: Passion for Cars and Business With British Manners

Toyota made its debut in the UK vehicle market back in 1965, and when it first came to the British people, it made it on a small four-car stand at a modest motor show. But now Toyota brand has sold almost three million vehicles in Britain and it even constructs them there, too.

Pride and Clark was the original UK importer and distributor. It is a South London family firm, that launched its enterprise after John Pride travelled to the Far East to gain idea of how Japanese people are manufacturing their vehicles. Later on, his image of bringing Toyota vehicles in UK was shared by other retailers, who set up the firs Toyota showrooms. In fact, they set up with just one model lineup: the Corona, that was offered to customers.

Bit by bit the business prospered and the UK witnessed the first Corolla at British soil in 1966. One year later, the name Toyota was adopted and by 1980 there had been sold about 200,000 Toyota vehicles. This short success is one of the most important one, as it secures brand’s positions in the UK.

Toyota 50th Anniversary

And nine years later Toyota announced, that the UK as its location for an European manufacturing centre. Furthermore, Toyota Manufacturing UK’s Burnaston car plant in Derbyshire and Deeside engine factory in North Wales came in 1992 and benefited from more than 2 billion UK pounds investment in technology, skills and work places. The plant continues to provide opportunities for more than 200 supplier businesses.

Furthermore, TMUK also marked Toyota’s first hybrid vehicle manufacturing centre in Europe, that created the Auris Hybrid back in 2010. And since then the plant continues to be the main manufacturer of electric vehicle Toyota vehicles.

Toyota 50th Anniversary

And for its 50th year in the UK, Toyota has launched the latest Avensis and Auris models. Something more, they are entirely built at Burnaston. And later this year, it will also begin marketing the first of the Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle model, which opens one more chapter in the vehicles of the future.

And along with Toyota’s desire to create even better and better vehicles, there is a special event, that demonstrates some of the most notable Toyta models since 1965. The classic lineup includes: original Corona saloon, Corolla AE86 that helped inspire today’s GT86 coupe, a first-gen RAV4 and one of the earliest British-built models, a 1992-vintage Carina E.

This is how business in UK is done.

Are you a fan of muscle-cars? 2015 Challenger Dream Giveaway has something for you then!

2015 HellcatX Dodge Challenger SRT

History tends to repeat itself in various forms and various manners. This happens in the car-manufacturing world quite often too. One model inherits something from its predecessor and follows the path of progression of the first-born. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat X is an example of such case where old automobile history reincarnates some of its aspect into a new automotive body.

It won’t be an exaggeration if we say that perhaps every muscle-car lover keeps a poster of the Hellcat X on their wall, dreaming of owning one such jewelry. Well, they should be more than delighted to find out that there is light in the tunnel. And no, it is not the approaching train. It is rather the light of a unique opportunity. Now 2015 Challenger Dream Giveaway® gives a chance to people to enter a competition and win a one-off prize package which includes precisely, the Dodge Challenger in question and the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T.

Inspired by the U.S. Aviation prototype XF6F Hellcat, the supercharged Dodge Challenger Hellcat X is loaded with a 2L HEMI engine that is capable of generating 805 HP. The car is built in honor of WWII pilots of Hellcat fighter aircraft. This one-of-a-kind supercar excites with accented front grille surround, center hood scoop, Navy-inspired raw-aluminum hood extractors, hand-made rear diffusor and, lastly, adaptable high-speed chin spoiler as well as deck lid spoiler. Inside the car exclusivity keeps running as the winner will find embroidered Hellcat X callouts on the front seat backs and on the floor mats.

The other beauty, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, on the other hand dazzles with well-known high-performance features like a 440 Magnum V-8 engine, Pistol Grip four-speed, and a Supergrip limited-slip rear. Leaving the factory assembly line 45 years ago, the R/T had already established itself as a rare one. This Dodge Challenger was one of less than 100 black Challenger vehicles which adopted the 440 U-code/four-speed package. An interesting fact about it is that exactly this car was used in a TV commercial called “Revolution Reborn” which showcased “Dodge’s DNA of American exceptionalism then and now.”

Aston Martin DB10: The Brightest Star in the Newest James Bond Movie

Aston Martin DB10

“You have no authority. None.” These are the very first words we hear in the new James Bond movie trailer. However, the beauty by Aston Martin which features in the film seems to have plenty of authority there. A surplus of it in fact.

The most scandalous secret agent is back and this time around he returns with much more saturated flair for action, motion and dynamism. His mission is yet again simple, in the most complex way of course – survival. Clearly other people get involved too and Bond has to keep them alive as well. There are too many flying bullets after all. And explosions. And even more explosions after that.

A puzzling message from the agent’s past sends him to Mexico City and then to Rome where he is supposed to uncover the existence of a sinister “supergrop” – Spectre. As if his journey is not complicated enough but he meets the gorgeous Monica Bellucci, pardon, Lucia Sciarra, who makes things even more complicated as she is the widow of an infamous criminal.

So far we have got The Man and The Women. The only thing that is missing is, well, The Car. Bond movies are well-known for their choices of automotive splendor and Spectre is ready to show us some more of it. The newest cinematic production will amaze us with Jaguar and Land Rover models. However, the brightest star is that of the stunning Aston Martin DB10 that perfectly matches the blasting nature of the storyline itself. From what we can hear and see the DB10 is a manual beast that acknowledges no limits. And walls too.

Aston Martin DB10 Side

The bespoke car was created exclusively for James Bond: Spectre with ten units that will be hand-built in-house by Aston Martin’s design and engineering teams in Gaydon. The manufacturer specified a few details about the car such as its 4.7 litre V8 engine and the 6-speed manual transmission unit.

All in all, the movie promises to deliver spectacular fast-motion moments that will make one’s heart stop and then start pulsating 007 times faster than before. The movie is officially coming out in October 26th.
