Secretive Ford ‘Skunkworks’ Team Developing Cheap EV to Beat Tesla and China

Tesla went from a high-end electric automaker to a mass-market car company when Model 3 and Model Y sales hit big numbers. Those two EVs flipped the script, forcing legacy automakers to accelerate the development of affordable electric cars. Ford responded by poaching one of Tesla's top engineers and building a team around him, and as the Blue Oval's CEO Jim Farley divulged on an earnings call Tuesday, they've essentially created an in-house startup aimed at developing a low-cost EV.

Ford And Lincoln's Digital Experience Brings Gaming And Streaming To Your Next EV

If you're the kind of car buyer who aims to break up with gasoline entirely, you probably haven't given the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus much thought. But there are very good reasons why you should, because the new SUV debuts an all-new software suite that has profound implications for the all-electric Ford or Lincoln you might buy someday—and it says a lot about where the Dearborn automaker is going in the years and decades to come.

Ford Slashes F-150 Lightning, Increases Bronco and Ranger Production

Automakers are starting to sound like a broken record as of late. From delayed production to revised investments, automakers are re-evaluating their short-term plans for electric vehicles. And Ford is joining the mix, as it announces plans to slow production of its electric pickup truck, the Ford F-150 Lightning. This is not the first time Ford has altered production quotas for the Lightning. Just this summer, Ford said it would triple its annual production rate in response to falling raw material costs. However, as electric vehicles sit on dealership lots, Ford is following manufacturers like General Motors in truncating production plans. Ford was the second largest EV producer in America last year, with EV sales rising 18% year-over-year. Starting April 1, F-150 Lightning production will be down to one shift at Ford's Michigan Rouge Electric Vehicle Center. This

Ford - 2024 Ford Raptor R Has More Power than a Ford GT - autoweek.com - Usa - state California - county Dearborn - county Ford

2024 Ford Raptor R Has More Power than a Ford GT

Some 14 years ago, the Ford Raptor debuted to the US market as a performance-focused version of the beloved F-150 pickup. Among truck enthusiasts, automotive media, and industry insiders, the F-150 Raptor became the kind of vehicle that could hog the spotlight—for good and bad reasons alike. That is to say, no one really needed a F-150 Raptor back then. Unless you were conquering the 854.5-mile Baja 1000 (which the Raptor did in stock-ish form back in 2016), the lifted, widened, and power-injected truck was overkill. Even back in 2008, the available 6.2-liter V8's 411 horsepower was considered a high but healthy amount of power. The non-R F-150 Ford Raptor uses a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 making 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Fast forward to 2023 and the
