Ford new cars 2015 sports

Over the past five decades, the car-buying public has developed a certain mental image of the so-called "muscle car." That image is of rudimentary barnyard engineering, hulking engines capable of extreme straight-line speed, and no ability to comprehend a corner.



Ford is able to squeeze so much power out of such a small engine thanks to a huge pile of enhancements that include a combination port/direct injection system, low-friction roller-finger-follower valvetrain and of course those two turbochargers. Sending that power to the wheels is a seven-speed, dual-clutch transaxle. Sorry kids, there is no manual transmission GT this time.



2015 Ford Explorer Details Interior For the most part, the 2015 Ford Explorer puts its bulk to good use inside, offering three rows of seating for up to seven passengers. Surprisingly, the 2-passenger third row offers enough room for adults. The second row comes as either a 3-person bench, or it can be had with two bucket seats. Both seats can be equipped to power-fold flat, and when down, you have 80.7 cubic feet of cargo area. Throughout, the Explorer's width is put to good use too, maybe too good, as some shorter drivers may find it's a stretch to rest an arm on the door. Exterior Nobody could call the 2015 Explorer "sleek," although its streamlined shape does a good job of hiding its overall bulk. Bulges in just the right places hint at muscularity, and the long horizontal creases along the sides convey motion. New this year is a sport-appearance package for the mid-level XLT, which adds bigger wheels, a darker grille and other touches to give the Explorer a sportier look. However, it's not as bold as the Explorer Sport, which adds a black grille, big wheels, and a don't-mess-with-me demeanor.
