Ford Edge Titanium Elite Revealed


Ford recently used the North American International Auto Show to introduce the 2019 Edge and now the company has revealed the Edge Titanium with a new elite package.


Designed to appeal to wealthy consumers, the Elite package builds on the already well-equipped Edge Titanium and adds unique exterior features including additional body-color trim and exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels. The crossover has also has a modified front bumper and additional metallic accents.


While the styling changes are minor, the updated Edge boasts a new front fascia, a revised grille, and standard LED headlights. Designers also installed a new hood and a revised liftgate.


Interior changes are modest but include a redesigned center console and a new rotary gear selector. The Edge also gains some new driver assistance features such as Evasive Steering Assist, Post-Collision Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering.


Power is provided by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that develops 250 hp (186 kW) and 275 lb-ft (372 Nm) of torque. It is connected to a new eight-speed automatic transmission which helps to improve fuel-efficiency.


Of course, buyers looking for something sportier can opt for the Edge ST which has a twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 engine with 335 hp (249 kW) and 380 lb-ft (514 Nm) of torque. The model also has a sport-tuned suspension, unique seats, and distinctive exterior styling.


The Edge Titanium Elite package will debut at the Chicago Auto Show later this week and it will likely go on sale this summer.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
