The hits from racing icon Jack Roush just keep on coming. A sport truck might prove to be a welcomed event, as Ford's SVT initiatives have not pointed to having another performance truck out in the near future. Enter the Roush 500RC Ford F-150. It has a Roush-flavored supercharger, dubbed the ROUSHcharger, atop a powerplant that generates 445 hp/500 lb ft of torque for all the street & strip one fun most anyone can enjoy. Along with a power upgrade, the Roush 550RC truck gets a boatload of styling components and interior treatments. A dual exit high performance exhaust, 20 inch chrome rims, and billet aluminum grille are just a few goodies in store.

These stunning photos, taken near the Nurburgring, reveal almost all of the details of the upcoming V8 Roadster. The Roadster is the convertible brother of the Vantage. This new generation of Aston Martin is helping the brand expand, while offering a competitive alternative to the Porsche 911. Performance wise, the hard top Aston makes the 0-60MPH sprint in 4.9seconds, costs around $110,000 and is effortless to drive. The soft top being slightly heavier, should run to 60 in the lower 5 second range, cost a little more and still be effortless to drive. The only thing missing is the retractable hardtop feature.

Next year's model of the Ford Fusion will include the addition of a new "sport appearance" package on the SE model equipped with the inline 4-cylinder engine, says Dan Geist (Fusion marketing manager). Many dealerships across the country provided helpful feedback from their customer bases back to Ford. Ford listened. The new package, priced under $500, includes a black chrome grille, color-keyed fog lamps, 17-inch rims, and red stitched seats with red inserts. "The dealers told us to highlight the color red, especially if we could do it in some kind of a special package," said Dan Geist, Fusion marketing manager. Also included as another option is a new trunk-mounted spoiler ($300) and a navigational system ($2000) on the SE and SEL models.

In preparation to remove conventional minivans from the market one Ford executive has reportedly confirmed that a Ford-branded version of the Fairlane concept will be available to car buyers in 2008. The three-row (seating) crossover is expected to replace the traditional minivans in hope of shaping future interest in the vehicle type. Ford is seeking a fresh start with the Fairlane concept, as the Ford Freestar and the Mercury Monterey are being viewed for a potential drop at the end of the 2007 model year.

The past performance group from Ford, Special Vehicle Team (SVT), was once speculated as dead just a few months ago. A recent Ford product preview by SVT chief Hau Thai-Tang proves otherwise. Currently, 60 engineers are still tasked with the continued development of SVT products, and plans continue to look toward future developments. For now, however, SVT will rely on two vehicles, the 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang that recently hit the open market and an "in the works" truck, based heavily on the Ford F-150 ancestor, the SVT Lightning. No further detail was divulged regarding the truck, but 2007 is definitely to soon to expect something solid.
