Friday, January 2, 2009
Ford USA have officially unveiled their 2010 Shelby GT500. Like the original Shelby GT350 the GT500 is based on the Ford Mustang but like the original is more than just a hotted up version of Ford's famous pony car. “The 2010 Shelby GT500 demonstrates Ford's continuing commitment to high-performance vehicles,“ said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development. “In addition to the numerous performance and refinement improvements inside and out, the 2010 Shelby GT500 is an estimated 2 miles per gallon more fuel efficient on the highway.“ “We're proud of the many enhancements that were developed jointly by the Ford and Shelby Automobiles team last year that we've now incorporated into the new 2010 Shelby GT500,“ said Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby Automobiles. “Building on what we learned to create the Shelby GT500KR, this new car offers a great combination of power, handling and braking. It is truly a special car that is a great deal of fun to drive.“ Ford's Special Vehicle Team used the gains made on the 40th anniversary edition Shelby GT500KR “King of the Road“ Mustangs as the performance starting point and built from there. The design team, with a nod to the original Shelby Cobras from the 1960s, takes those design cues even further with nuanced improvements in both the coupe and convertible, each of which boasts a more- refined interior. The 2010 Shelby GT500 delivers more horsepower and more torque than the outgoing model, thanks in part to advancements pioneered on the GT500KR.

Thursday, October 16, 2008
The rumours are true, Ford Australia today confirmed it will cut a further 450 jobs from its Victorian work force. The cuts have been blamed on the global economic slowdown and falling demand for large passenger cars. It's also a tacit acknowledgement that the much vaunted FG Falcon range has been a failure. Ford Australia CEO Marin Burela said it was a difficult time for affected families and everyone at Ford. “We don't take these issues lightly, but we need to secure and protect the business,“ he said. According to Mr Burela the retrenchments will at this stage be voluntary and the company believes there will be sufficient interest in the plan to avoid actual sackings.
