Customer demand for Ford's new 2011 Shelby GT500 is growing nearly as fast as the world's fastest production pony car. More than 3,300 orders have been placed for the new Shelby GT500. To ensure exclusivity, U.S. sales of the 2011 Shelby GT500 will be limited to 5,500 units. "We are pleased with the pace of retail orders for the 2011 Shelby GT500," said Fritz Wilke, Mustang brand manager. "The car continues to be popular with sports car enthusiasts and collectors who are blown away by the increase in horsepower and performance. The limited production of the 2011 should make this year even more desirable." Standard 2011 performance features include the 550-horsepower aluminum 5.4-liter V8 engine, a new 2.75-inch exhaust system, revised brake cooling and pedal box construction for more consistent brake pedal efforts and feel, and electric power-assisted steering (EPAS). SVT worked hard to make EPAS better than the outgoing hydraulic steering system, with improved torque build-up and road feel. The engine is built around a new 5.4-liter aluminum-block and is supercharged, which produces 550 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque, a 10 horsepower increase over the 2010 model. The engine is 102 pounds lighter than its predecessor, delivering a better power-to-weight ratio, improved fuel economy, acceleration, handling and steering precision. The new engine uses a state-of-the-art Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) liner coating, a process that applies a 150-micron composite coating that contains nanoparticles on the internal surfaces of engine cylinder bores, replacing cast-iron liners typically used in aluminum engine blocks. The Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation honored the inventors of the Ford-patented PTWA technology with the 2009 National Inventor of the Year Award. New for 2011 is an optional glass roof providing customers with yet another open-air option that does not compromise the coupe's versatility, headroom or climate-controlled environment. Three times more 2011 GT500s have been ordered with the glass roof compared to the base Mustang showing the popularity of this new feature. Interior options have proven popular, considering that almost 70 percent of the GT500s have been ordered with the Electronics Package, which includes voice-activated navigation, SIRIUS Travel Link(TM), HD Radio and dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control. The new SVT Performance Package is also proving to be a popular option with just over 68 percent of coupe orders selecting the enhanced performance delivered through this all-new option. The package was developed to provide track performance. SVT engineers worked directly with Goodyear to develop all-new Goodyear Eagle® F1 SuperCar G: 2 tires that give supercar grip and control levels. The optional package also offers unique styling, staggered lighter wheels with 19-inch fronts and 20-inch rears, a numerically higher rear axle ratio, stiffer springs and dampers, and a lowered ride height. The SVT Performance Package is available on both the coupe and convertible. Other standard items new for 2011 include high-intensity discharge headlamps, MyKey(TM) programmable vehicle key, integrated spotter mirror and fold-down rear headrests.

2011 Ford Edge features four new wheel designs, including 18- and 20-inch wheels for Edge SEL and Edge Limited, and 22-inch wheels that highlight the 2011 Ford Edge Sport New 18- and 20-inch wheels are one-half inch wider than the outgoing wheels, which helps improve handling The all-new wheels of the 2011 Ford Edge, on their own, tell a story about the popular midsize crossover's new, bolder exterior look. Like Edge itself, the new wheel choices are more engaging and expressive. "We made a conscious effort to give the wheels a more fluid, more organic look," said Hak Soo Ha, exterior design manager of the 2011 Ford Edge. "We wanted a look that conveys more of a handcrafted, premium treatment to give the new Edge an unmistakable appearance." The new wheels also give a hint to the cutting-edge, class-exclusive features found inside. Available MyFord Touch driver connect technology highlights the list of 11 class-exclusive features found on the 2011 Ford Edge. "The Edge customer values and appreciates style and technology. Both are key reasons for purchasing an Edge today," said Brett Burin, Edge marketing manager. "Our wheels have to reflect those customer desires." Each series - SE, SEL, Limited and Sport - has a unique wheel. Both the SEL and Limited offer an optional chrome-clad wheel for those desiring a brighter or larger wheel option. "The majority of our customers choose to upgrade to either the brighter wheel on the SEL or the larger 20-inch wheel on the Limited, so it's important we continue to provide those options," said Burin. Forged aluminum wheels are often the top choice in the aftermarket because of their premium quality and ability to combine high strength and light weight in one package. "You can't just throw 22-inch wheels on any vehicle; they have to be carefully matched for the ride and handling our customers demand," Kreder said. "The specially tuned suspension has been carefully engineered to deliver a more connected feel between the driver and the road, and the 22-inch wheels provide a more direct input response to Edge Sport." Complementing the new wheels is a sport-tuned suspension with revised front strut tuning, rear spring rates and rear jounce bumper, which helps stiffen the suspension for a flatter, sportier ride. Key to the suspension tuning is the addition of high-flow shocks. These shocks allow tuning for both handling and ride without compromise to either. "Drivers will feel a firmer connection to the road when going around a corner, and less jarring when hitting a pothole, for example," said Kreder. "It's allowed us to make Edge Sport much more comfortable without losing any handling." The tires were designed and engineered specifically for Edge Sport and deliver similar grip levels as those found in a Mustang GT tire combined with all-season performance. The wheels feature a polished finish with painted Tuxedo Black spoke accents. Ford also match-mounts the tires, a step not taken by all manufacturers. This means wheels are precisely aligned with the tires, and wheel-tire assemblies are centered on precision-machined hub pilots. The wheel/tire/hub assemblies roll truer, which helps eliminate noise and vibration while improving ride comfort. "Edge customers tell us that styling and technology are key drivers for them, so everything we added for the 2011 Edge had to touch those points," said Burin. "The new wheel lineup is one of several examples that deliver on those attributes, and something customers will notice immediately." SOURCE Ford Motor Company Industry Press Releases July 19 2010
