All Star Performance Explorer Sport is Ready for the Rough Country

Not too long ago Ford told us all that it planned to highlight SUVs and Crossovers in big way during SEMA 2015. Ford will have 28 customized Edge Sport and Explorer Sport vehicles at the show. We have seen a few images of some of those SUVs, but details on what exactly had been done to them were scant. That has changed with Ford offering some details on the All Star Performance Explorer Sport.

This SUV is aimed at go anywhere performance for the off-road set. It has a 2.5-inch Traxda lift kit to give the SUV more ground clearance. For more power to get through the rough stuff it gets a MagnaFlow exhaust and a Vortech front mount intercooler.

The wheels are 20 x 11 ADV.1 ADV10R with Toyo A/T II 305/50R tires. The brakes are upgraded all around and the outside of the vehicle gets custom paint, a THULE Canyon carrier basked, and LED light bars front and rear. The interior has custom suede and leather upholstery with Sony AV gear and an Optima battery. That basket on top of the SUV will let it carry just about anything you need for the outdoors.

McLaren 675LT Spider May Launch In 2016

The McLaren 675LT costs £260,000 and now it looks like McLaren may have a more expensive model on the way, the McLaren 675LT Spider.

The new McLaren 675LT Spider is rumored to launch next year, and the convertible version of the 675LT is expected to have an even high price tag of around £280,000.

The final decision on production of the car has apparently not been made, but if McLaren decide to go ahead with the project, then it could feature a hard top folding roof like other models,

McLaren are likely to use the same 3.8 litre twin turbocharged engine in the 675LT Spider, which would mean that the convertible version should come with around 666 horsepower, which could give it a top speed of 205 miles per hour and a 0 to 62 miles per hour time of just 2.9 seconds.

Ferrari F12 TDF Has A Massive 770 Horsepower

Ferrari has announced a special edition of their F12 Berlinetta, the Ferrari F12 TDF, which is equipped with a V12 engine that produces a massive 770 horsepower.

The new Ferrari F12 TDF has a maximum speed of 211 miles per hour and it can propel itself from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds, it can also hit 124 miles per hour in just 7.9 seconds.

The F12tdf’s performance is assured by the 780 cv, naturally-aspirated V12 derived directly from the F12berlinetta’s multi-award-winning engine. The car’s exhilarating dynamic behaviour, specifically its lateral acceleration in corners, is due to an 8% increase in the ratio of the front tyres compared to the rear ones.

The car’s natural tendency to oversteer as a result of the change in tyre sizes is compensated for by the innovative rear-wheel steering system – known as the Virtual Short Wheelbase, which is integrated with the other vehicle dynamic control systems – that guarantees the steering wheel response times and turn-in of a competition car while increasing stability at high speed.

There will be just 799 Ferrari F12 TDF cars built and there are no details on pricing as yet, although we can expect a premium over the £240,000 price of the standard F12.

You can find out more details about the new F12 TDF over at Ferrari at the link below.
