The six-piece includes front air dam, side skirts, rear lower skirt, rear deck lid spoiler and upper roof spoiler. A Webasto 900 Series twin-venting sunroof helps open up the interior.

Summary Strong acceleration, agile handling, a smooth ride and a roomy passenger compartment give the 2008 Ford Edge major points in the midsize crossover segment. Unfortunately, mediocre braking performance sullies its otherwise impressive credentials. Pros Quiet and comfortable ride, agile handling, potent V6, all major safety features are standard, roomy cabin. Cons Questionable brakes, lackluster interior design and materials, low maximum cargo capacity. What's New for 2008 The 2008 Ford Edge gets more luxury and convenience features. Highlights include Ford 's "Sync" system (which allows voice operation of cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players and USB storage devices), an optional power liftgate and a voice-activated navigation system.

When we saw the Holden VE Ute back at the end of August, we thought we'd found extreme ute heaven. But there might be two mad performance pickups on that cloud. This is the FPV ( Ford Performance Vehicles) Cobra , unveiled at the Australian motor show to leave us seriously contemplating a minor felony to get ourselves deported down under. Powered by a 404bhp 5.4-litre V8, the Cobra sits on 19-inch wheels, while that blue-on-white paintjob is standard. You've got the choice of a six-speed manual or a ZF six-speed auto too, though that snake (see the second photo) is an optional extra. There's also a saloon version of the Cobra available, which gets a limited slip diff and track-ready suspension. But you don't want that one. You want the ute. Not least because it's more exclusive: 400 special-edition saloons are being produced, against just 100 utes. Sadly, you won't be able to buy either: Ford Australia says that all the Cobras are already sold out. Damn. Better return all those scrumped...

(from GeigerCars Press Release) The legendary Ford GT is now even faster! GeigerCars.de packs even more performance power into Ford ’s newest model. The Ford GT is a living legend. For those who have driven this car before it is hard to imagine what it means to gain 29 % more performance power. Its supercharged engine with an impressive 701 bhp/ 523kW producing a peak torque of 7407 in-lbs reaches a top speed of 211 mph. The engine’s shear force gives you goose bumps and its deep base just about takes your breath away. With the tuning modifications carried out by GeigerCars .de the Ford GT really outdoes itself. Munich’s tuning specialists at GeigerCars.de converted the Ford GT 5.4 liter V8 engine entirely. A 3.3 liter serial compressor replaces the 2.3 liter compressor and the boost pressure was raised from 0.8 to 1.25 bar. The engine electronics were reprogrammed to calibrate the GeigerCars.de power components. Enlarged throttle valves and a sport air filter provide its eight cylinders...
