The top brass at Ford haven't been wasting time or development efforts with their latest hit, the Ford Edge. Last week, the Ford Edge was launched into production. If you are not familiar with the Edge, it features a unique shape, lots of features and a single power plant / transmission combination that, when combined, look amazing and make a great crossover vehicle. Ford should have a real hit on their hands and if the basic Edge is not enough, RPM has picked up on a hint, from a Ford spokesman at the launch that a high performance version is in the "pipeline". Although, it will not have a V8, nor will it be true RWD, the hopped up Edge could have a turbocharged / direct injected 3.5L V6 (similar to the engines found in the MAZDASPEED vehicles) under the hood. This power plant could push the overall horsepower to 300+. Toss in some form of driver commanded shifting, sporty handling and this crossover will really sell like hotcakes. Stay tuned as we will be waiting for more information about this high powered Edge.
