<p>Concept cars are a lot like Playboy centerfolds: they’re generally enhanced to focus on beauty over function, you usually can’t gets your hands on one and if you do, chances are it won’t meet your expectations.  Like centerfolds, concept cars are meant to be things of ethereal beauty, unattainable to mere mortals.  The best we can hope for is a trickle-down effect, where styling elements from concept cars (or centerfolds) make it to production cars (or your girlfriend).  Each year, manufacturers highlight the work of their design studios at auto shows around the globe.  Most of these concepts will never see production, but will live on the body panels and interiors of cars yet to be built.</p>
<p><span id="more-16122"></span></p>
<p>In 2010, most automakers were still reeling from the global economic collapse of 2008-2009.  Budgets that would have gone to funding concept car design (or even attending auto shows) disappeared as automakers struggled to pay employee salaries, keep the lights on and keep their doors open.  Concept cars may not have been as flashy or over-the-top as in years past, but there were still plenty of concept car introductions last year.  Here are 10 that <a href="http://www.autonews.com/article/20110103/VIDEO/301039957/1439" target="_blank">Automotive News</a> named as their favorites:</p>
<h4>VW New Compact Coupe</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/001_f_b2_l2_opt.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16144" title="001_f_b2_l2_opt" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/001_f_b2_l2_opt-e1294079012375.jpg" alt="VW New Compact=" /></a></p>
<p>More substance than flash, the VW New Compact Coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, and is remarkable for its hybrid drivetrain and 45 mpg fuel economy.</p>
<h4>Cadillac XTS Platinum</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/x10cc_ca007_pt.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16145" title="x10cc_ca007_pt" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/x10cc_ca007_pt-e1294079063157.jpg" alt="Cadillac XTS Platinum" width="500" height="323" /></a></p>
<p>Another Detroit Auto Show introduction, the Cadillac XTS Platinum featured all wheel drive and a plug-in-hybrid drivetrain.  Unlike most concepts, the XTS will most likely see production.</p>
<h4>Mazda Shinari</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/mazda_shinari_f34_ns_83110_717.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16146" title="mazda_shinari_f34_ns_83110_717" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/mazda_shinari_f34_ns_83110_717-e1294079117669.jpg" alt="Mazda Shinari" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>As shown at the L.A. Auto Show, Mazda’s Shinari concept will never see production.  What will see production, however, is the Kodo design language embodied by the Shinari, which replaces the stoned-guppy look of Mazda’s outgoing Nagare design.  And that’s a good thing.</p>
<h4>Nissan Allure</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Nissan_Ellure_Concept_001.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16148" title="Nissan_Ellure_Concept_001" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Nissan_Ellure_Concept_001-e1294079172992.jpg" alt="Nissan Allure" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Also introduced in L.A., don’t expect to see the Allure at a Nissan dealer anytime soon.  Instead,expect to see design elements (like the Ninja warrior inspired grille) on future Nissan sedans.</p>
<h4>Audi eTron</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/The-Audi-e-tron-car-picture.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16150" title="The-Audi-e-tron-car-picture" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/The-Audi-e-tron-car-picture.jpg" alt="Audi eTron" width="500" height="313" /></a></p>
<p>Although this debuted at Frankfurt in 2009, I guess it was close enough to the 2010 show circuit to include it in the mix.  Audi will build the eTron, and they’ve already warned us that it’ll be the most expensive product in their lineup.  You can’t expect 3,319 ft lb of torque, or a zero to sixty time of 4.7 seconds to be inexpensive, I suppose.</p>
<h4>Subaru Impreza Concept</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-Concept-Picture-625x416.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16151" title="Subaru-Impreza-Concept-Picture-625x416" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Subaru-Impreza-Concept-Picture-625x416-e1294079261177.jpg" alt="Subaru Impreza Concept" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Debuted at the L.A. Auto Show, the Impreza concept gives us a good idea of what future Subaru styling will look like.  Expect to see this “Confidence In Motion” design theme carried across both Impreza and Legacy product lines.</p>
<h4>Porsche 918 Spyder</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/porsche-918-spyder-xl.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16152" title="porsche-918-spyder-xl" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/porsche-918-spyder-xl-e1294079299893.jpg" alt="Porsche 918 Spyder" width="500" height="277" /></a></p>
<p>Introduced at this year’s Geneva Auto Show, Porsche has given the green light for production of the uber-hybrid, based on customer demand.  Expect over 700 combined horsepower, a fuel economy of 78 mpg and a price tag north of $600,000 when the car is built.</p>
<h4>Alfa Romeo 2ettottanta</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/pininfarina_alfa_romeo_spider_concept_geneva_2010_03-4b8da60839e07-1280x10241.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16153" title="pininfarina_alfa_romeo_spider_concept_geneva_2010_03-4b8da60839e07-1280x1024" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/pininfarina_alfa_romeo_spider_concept_geneva_2010_03-4b8da60839e07-1280x10241-e1294079345104.jpg" alt="Pininfarina 2ettottanta" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Shown at Geneva to mark Pininfarina’s 80th anniversary, the Alfa Romeo / Pinninfarina 2ettottanta gets my vote for concept I’d most like to see built, but with a pronounceable name.  Given Alfa Romeo’s financial struggles, it isn’t likely that the 2ettottanta will see production, but we can still hope that design cues trickle down to the next Alfa Spyder.  Assuming there is one.</p>
<h4>Toyota Sienna Supreme Swagger Wagon</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2010-Toyota-Sienna-Swagger-Wagon-Supreme-Front-And-Side-View-670x364.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16154" title="2010-Toyota-Sienna-Swagger-Wagon-Supreme-Front-And-Side-View-670x364" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2010-Toyota-Sienna-Swagger-Wagon-Supreme-Front-And-Side-View-670x364-e1294079383622.jpg" alt="Toyota Swagger Wagon Supreme" width="500" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>Shown at SEMA, the Swagger Wagon Supreme is an example of an ad campaign gone too far.  The ads were funny for about 15 minutes, now they’re just pathetic.  Toyota isn’t going to build this beast, so if you want one, better phone B.A.D. Company to get your own copy built.  Just paint it black and include a stripper pole on the inside, OK?</p>
<h4>Jaguar CX75</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/c-x75jaguarconcept022-1285774394.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16122];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16155" title="c-x75jaguarconcept022-1285774394" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/c-x75jaguarconcept022-1285774394-e1294079427898.jpg" alt="Jaguar CX75" width="500" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>Shown at the Paris Auto Show, the Jaguar CX75 demonstrates that Jaguar can still build stunning cars.  The concept used for electric motors, one at each wheel, generating a combined 780 horsepower.  Two small gas turbine generators (non functional on the concept) would, in theory, charge the batteries.  Sadly, all this beauty is for naught, as Jaguar has no plans to produce the CX75.</p>

<p>A major highlight for this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show is undoubtedly the new 2011 Mustang V6 that pumps out an astonishing 305 horsepower while getting 30 miles per gallon on the highway. Those figures are unheard of especially when it comes to a vehicle in the same class as the infamous Mustang, Camaro and even Dodge Challenger.</p>
<p><span id="more-8517"></span></p>
<p>Ford has spared no expense in proving that they have something “serious” to offer the automotive consumer. From the most fuel efficient midsized hybrid (<a title="2010 Motor Trend Car of the Year: 2010 Ford Fusion" href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/8390/2010-motor-trend-car-of-the-year-2010-ford-fusion">Motor Trend’s car of the year</a>) on the road to one of the post powerful naturally aspirated V6 engines you can buy for the money, Ford is literally kicking a$$ and taking names.</p>
<p>The press release from Ford spills all of the details of the newest V6 Pony car including what they incorporated to reach 305hp and 280 lb-ft of torque out of what some use to think was a push-over in the days of “you should have bought a Mustang GT”. Not only can you have your cake and eat it too, but you can scarf down the cake while attempting to shift one of the two six-speed transmissions offered for the Mustang V6, in auto or manual flavors.</p>

<p>2011 Ford Mustang 3.7-liter V6 Press Releases</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>PRESS RELEASES:</strong><br />
<strong><br />
2<em>011 Ford Mustang V-6 goes high-tech: new 305-Hp engine, six-SPEED transmission expected to Deliver 30 MPG highway</em></strong><em> </em></p>
<p><em>• For 2011, Mustang makes sports coupe news with a new high-performance, all-aluminum Duratec® 3.7-liter DOHC Ti-VCT V-6 that delivers 305 horsepower and an expected best-in-class 30 mpg highway with six-speed automatic transmission – no other vehicle in the industry can beat that combination<br />
• Six-speed transmissions – manual and automatic – combine with newly standard limited-slip differential and revised suspension for road-carving driving dynamics and handling<br />
• New technology and convenience features include: Standard integrated spotter mirrors; message center; MyKey™ programmable vehicle key; and Universal Garage Door Opener</em></p>
<p><em>Dearborn, Mich., Nov. 30, 2009 – The 2011 Ford Mustang puts 305 high-performance horses in the hands of V-6 coupe buyers with a new all-aluminum dual-overhead cam (DOHC) engine that delivers a projected 30 mpg on the highway with a six-speed automatic transmission and fun for drivers on nearly every road.</em></p>
<p><em>For 2011, Mustang&#8217;s new 3.7-liter Duratec 24-valve V-6 uses advanced engineering to deliver its power and economy: Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) adjusts the valvetrain in microseconds. Aluminum construction means light weight. It&#8217;s an engine designed to crank out torque down low, rev to 7,000 rpm and deliver the mechanical music sports coupe lovers crave everywhere in between.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Mustang is completely transformed with this new engine,&#8221; said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. &#8220;Everything people love about the car is still there and now under the hood is a V-6 engine that uses premium technology to deliver the power, the feel, the fuel efficiency, even the sound of the best sports coupes in the world.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><strong>New 3.7-liter V-6 engine</strong><br />
With Ti-VCT operating its four valves per cylinder, the new Mustang V-6 powerplant sends significantly more horsepower and torque (305 hp and 280 ft.-lb.) to the rear wheels than its predecessor – despite its smaller displacement. The behind-the-wheel feel is unlike any Mustang ever produced.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;This new V-6 engine really speaks to what Mustang is all about,&#8221; said Barb Samardzich, Ford vice president of global powertrain engineering. &#8220;It produces power everywhere in the rev range and loves to be pushed hard. The Duratec 3.7-liter builds on our promise to use advanced technology to deliver both power and fuel economy.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>The high output is due largely to Ti-VCT which allows variable control of valve operation across the rev range. The variable cams operate on a Direct Acting Mechanical Bucket (DAMB) valvetrain using polished buckets and roller finger followers to reduce friction. The end result is as much as a 3 percent improvement in fuel economy and a 10 percent improvement in power output versus traditional engines without these advanced features.</em></p>
<p><em>Ti-VCT is complemented by special-tuned composite upper and lower intake manifolds for efficient air delivery and lighter weight. Ignition power is delivered by a high-energy coil-on-plug design, while piston-cooling jets and a lightweight die-cast aluminum cylinder block improve the durability and efficiency of the 3.7-liter V-6 design.</em></p>
<p><em>Performance was the mantra for every aspect of engine design. A cold air induction system and dual exhaust give the 3.7 its free-breathing style with a 7,000 rpm redline and near-instantaneous response to throttle inputs.</em></p>
<p><em>A die-cast aluminum deep-sump oil pan provides 10,000-mile oil change intervals, saving drivers money on maintenance and resulting in less waste in oil disposal.</em></p>
<p><em>Engineers also worked to ensure aggressive, high-performance sounds come from the new engine, from intake to exhaust. Not only does the retuned air intake system minimize losses, it also provides the driver with a satisfying intake rush on hard acceleration. The all-new dual exhaust system is mellow at idle but opens up with a howl at full-tilt, letting Mustang drivers know they&#8217;re behind the wheel of a world-class sports coupe.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;This car marks a new type of Mustang,&#8221; said David Pericak, Mustang chief nameplate engineer. &#8220;We&#8217;re using a high-performance quad-cam V-6 with all the bells and whistles in a car that&#8217;s become legendary for its handling and roadholding; it&#8217;s really going to get a lot of new sports coupe fans excited about Mustang, some for the first time ever.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Powertrain improvements</strong><br />
Drivers can get the most out of the new V-6 engine&#8217;s output using either an all-new six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission. Both come with the flexibility and fuel economy benefits of six forward ratios regardless of whether buyers want to shift for themselves or not.</em></p>
<p><em>Drivers who prefer a manual gearbox will enjoy the short throws and direct feel of the shifter along with the relaxed cruising permitted by the extra top gear ratio. Customers choosing the automatic will be pleasantly surprised to find the advanced six-speed 6R60 transmission does not sacrifice fuel economy – or performance – for convenience, delivering an expected 30 mpg highway with crisp, quick shifts that maximize torque and horsepower.</em></p>
<p><em>The automatic transmission also features a grade-assist or &#8220;hill mode&#8221; to improve drivability on hilly terrain. This technical innovation uses vehicle input – acceleration, pedal position, vehicle speed and brake status – to automatically determine the correct gear ratio while on an incline or decline. Hill mode eliminates sixth gear, extends lower gear operation on uphill climbs, and provides additional grade or engine braking for coast downs.</em></p>
<p><em>The standard 2.73 rear axle provides an ideal blend of cruising fuel economy and acceleration, aided by the wide ratio spread permitted through the use of six forward speeds in the gearboxes. Performance enthusiasts can select an available 3.31 rear axle ratio for better off-the-line launch characteristics.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Fuel economy improvements</strong><br />
Extra horsepower and refined engine operation will be the most noticeable features to new 2011 Mustang 3.7-liter V-6 buyers while projected class-leading fuel economy, also a standard feature, offers an additional bonus. The numbers speak for themselves:<br />
• 19 mpg city/30 highway with six-speed automatic transmission, up from 16 mpg city/ 24 highway on the 2010 model with automatic – a 25 percent improvement over 2010<br />
• 18 mpg city/29 highway with six-speed manual transmission, up from 18 mpg city/26 highway on the 2010 model with manual</em></p>
<p><em>Refinements throughout Mustang&#8217;s body, powertrain and chassis design contribute to the improved fuel economy numbers. Examples include:<br />
• The new Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system which eliminates the drag of an engine-operated hydraulic power steering pump<br />
• Six-speed transmissions that allow lower cruising revs without sacrificing off-the-line performance<br />
• Aerodynamic improvements such as a new front fascia, tire spats on the rear wheels, modified underbody shields, a taller air dam and an added rear decklid seal<br />
Handling and driving dynamics<br />
With so much additional horsepower standard, the 2011 Mustang received enhancements to its chassis to maintain the outstanding balance and driving behavior Mustang owners expect. Damper tuning and spring rates were revised to provide a smooth highway ride while a new rear lower control arm and stiffened stabilizer bar bushings improve stiffness and handling for better cornering response.</em></p>
<p><em>While Mustang&#8217;s aerodynamic improvements were designed mainly to improve fuel economy, engineers also adjusted the vehicle&#8217;s front/rear lift balance. The result is a car that tracks more securely and feels more &#8220;planted&#8221; to the road surface at higher speeds, helping to keep the tires in better contact with the pavement.</em></p>
<p><em>The addition of EPAS marks a new era in driving dynamics for Mustang owners. Steering effort at parking lot speeds is reduced, while high-speed and highway feel is improved for more precise steering and handling. Because the belt-driven power steering pump is eliminated, EPAS provides a quieter vehicle with fewer components drawing engine power.</em></p>
<p><em>EPAS also enables new technologies that adjust for minor driving annoyances. Pull-Drift Compensation adjusts the steering to correct for crosswinds and minor road crowning, while Active Nibble Control helps eliminate the &#8220;shimmy&#8221; felt at high speeds when a wheel is out of balance or a brake rotor is warped. Both conditions are alleviated by EPAS independent of driver input, helping ensure Mustang delivers a smooth, comfortable driving experience in all conditions.</em></p>
<p><em>Mustang buyers choosing the new V-6 will also get a standard limited-slip differential that provides better handling and more sure-footed grip in poor weather conditions by directing engine torque to the rear wheel with the most traction. When the time comes to slow things down, the 2011 Mustang is also equipped with larger four-wheel ABS disc brakes, with 11.5 inch front and 11.8 inch rear rotors.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Refinements complement advanced features</strong><br />
To reinforce the sporty nature of the 2011 Mustang, all V-6 models will come standard with new instrument cluster graphics, including a speedometer that reads up to 160 mph and a tachometer that reads to 8,000 rpm, reflecting the free-revving style of the new engine.</em></p>
<p><em>Additional lightweight soundproofing measures help filter unpleasant, high-frequency noises while tuned intake and dual exhaust add the sounds Mustang buyers relish.</em></p>
<p><em>Occupants also benefit from new door seals and a rear wheel arch liner that reduce road noise for a quieter, more enjoyable drive, all with minimal weight gain compared to the 2010 model.</em></p>
<p><em>Enthusiasts who want a premium performance-oriented Mustang V-6 can opt for the new Performance Package, which will be available August 2010. Designed for driving enthusiasts, the Mustang V-6 Performance Package comprises:<br />
• A 3.31 rear axle ratio for quicker off-the-line acceleration<br />
• Firmer Mustang GT suspension<br />
• 19-inch wheels<br />
• Summer performance tires for improved grip<br />
• A strut tower brace for increased chassis rigidity<br />
• Unique electronic stability control calibration with sport mode for performance driving</em></p>
<p><em>For 2011, Mustang also ups the ante on technology and convenience features, including a standard driver&#8217;s message center in the instrument cluster and integrated blind-spot mirrors in the side-view mirror housings.</em></p>
<p><em>Ford&#8217;s MyKey™ system, designed to encourage safer teen driving and safety belt use, also is newly available on Mustang. MyKey allows owners to program the vehicle key using the driver&#8217;s message center to incorporate features such as limited top vehicle speed and audio volume, a traction control system that cannot be deactivated, a persistent Belt-Minder® safety belt reminder and various speed alert chimes.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Top safety marks expected</strong><br />
Mustang&#8217;s technological advances are also incorporated in the structure of the vehicle to improve safety. The 2010 Mustang coupe earned the U.S. government&#8217;s top five-star crash-test rating, a designation the 2011 model is expected to achieve.</em></p>
<p><em>The Mustang&#8217;s considerable body stiffness contributes to the coupe and convertible&#8217;s driving performance and has a parallel benefit in accident protection. While the coupe&#8217;s body structure is approximately 31 percent stiffer than the previous Mustang platform, the convertible&#8217;s is more than twice as stiff – creating a structure that helps protect the cabin from deformation and intrusion in an impact.</em></p>
<p><em>Mustang also uses high-strength steel in its body structure and ultra-high-strength steel in the door intrusion beams for additional side-impact protection.</em></p>
<p><em>The front structure&#8217;s crush zones are computer-designed to absorb energy in a controlled manner and help dissipate it before it can reach the passenger compartment. Ford engineers have run thousands of design iterations of the Mustang&#8217;s front rails to arrive at an octagonal shape that helps spread crash forces evenly to aid in protecting occupants.</em></p>
<p><em>State-of-the-art technology adds to the convenience and safety of the 2011 Mustang, from the availability of the latest version of Ford SYNC®, with applications such as Traffic, Directions and Information, 911 Assist™ and Vehicle Health Report, to standard AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control, which complements the all-speed traction control and standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).</em></p>
<p><em>Additional standard safety equipment includes the Personal Safety System™ which features dual-stage driver and front passenger air bags, safety belt pretensioners and Belt-Minder.</em></p>
<p><em>The 2011 Mustang will be built at the Auto Alliance International Plant in Flat Rock, Mich. The new 3.7-liter V-6 will be built at Ford&#8217;s recently retooled Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1.</em></p>
<p><em># # #</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) Helps make 2011 Ford Mustang v-6 a true thoroughbred</strong></em></p>
<p><em>• Ti-VCT technology key to Mustang&#8217;s new 3.7-liter V-6 engine&#8217;s flexibility, delivering 305 horsepower and a projected 30 mpg highway with six-speed automatic transmission – no other vehicle in the industry can beat that combination<br />
• Variable camshaft timing uses oil pressure to adjust valve opening and closing events, providing improved off-the-line acceleration over non-VCT equipped engines<br />
• Variable valve overlap from Ti-VCT provides better fuel economy and emissions, along with optimized cold-start operation vs. conventional engines</em></p>
<p><em>Dearborn, Mich., Nov. 30, 2009 – The heart of every Mustang is its engine, and beneath the hood of the new 2011 Ford Mustang V-6 beats a technological tour de force. Displacing 3.7 liters, the dual-overhead-camshaft (DOHC) 24-valve V-6 uses Ford&#8217;s Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) to produce 305 horsepower and 280 ft.-lb. of torque and is projected to deliver up to 30 mpg highway – a combination unbeaten by any other vehicle in the industry.</em></p>
<p><em>Customer benefits of Ti-VCT include extremely precise variable control of &#8220;valve overlap,&#8221; or the window of time in which both the intake and exhaust valves in the engine are open simultaneously.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;This overlap control via Ti-VCT helps us eliminate compromises in the induction and exhaust systems,&#8221; said Jim Mazuchowski, Ford manager of V-6 powertrain operations. &#8220;Drivers are going to notice improved low-speed torque and increased fuel economy and peak horsepower. Plus, there are benefits they won&#8217;t notice, too, such as reduced emissions overall, especially at part-throttle.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>The flexibility allowed by Ti-VCT means Mustang V-6 customers will experience:<br />
• Better off-the-line launch feel, with plenty of the low-end &#8220;grunt&#8221; for which Mustang is famous. Ti-VCT can deliver up to a 5 percent improvement in low-end torque and a 7 percent improvement in peak power versus non-Ti-VCT-equipped engines.<br />
• Improved fuel economy at all engine speeds resulting in projected 19 mpg city/30 highway with six-speed automatic transmission; 18 mpg city/29 highway with six-speed manual transmission. Ti-VCT alone can account for up to a 4.5 percent fuel economy improvement over non-VCT-equipped engines.<br />
• Lower emissions, with better control of NOx and HC throughout the range of engine operating speeds, reducing atmospheric pollution.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>How the technology works</strong><br />
As a DOHC design, the 3.7-liter V-6 uses two camshafts per cylinder bank – one to open the intake valves and one to open the exhaust valves. Traditionally, camshafts only have been able to open the valves at a fixed point defined during engine design and manufacturing. But with modern variable cam timing systems, the camshafts can be rotated slightly relative to their initial position, allowing the cam timing to be &#8220;advanced&#8221; or &#8220;retarded.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Ti-VCT takes this technology and applies it to both the intake and exhaust camshafts of its DOHC design, using electronic solenoid valves to direct high-pressure oil to control vanes in each of the camshaft sprocket housings. By using one valve per camshaft, controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM), each intake and exhaust cam can be advanced or retarded independently of the other as engine operating conditions change, providing an exceptional degree of valve timing control.</em></p>
<p><em>The new 3.7-liter engine for the 2011 Mustang V-6 will be built at Ford&#8217;s recently retooled Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1.</em></p>

<p><em><strong>2011 Ford Mustang V-6 performance package boosts handling, braking; CAR NOW ROAD-COURSE READY</strong></em></p>
<p><em>• All-new 2011 Mustang V-6 joins the ranks of performance-tuned Mustang offerings worldwide; available Performance Package combines lightweight 305-horsepower all-aluminum V-6, a 3:31 performance rear axle and Mustang GT-based suspension and braking components<br />
• Unique 19-inch wheels and Pirelli performance tires provide superb grip and aggressive appearance<br />
• Electronic stability control calibration features Sport mode for high-performance driving and track-oriented events</em></p>
<p><em>Dearborn, Mich., Nov. 30, 2009 – Around the globe, Ford&#8217;s performance-tuned cars are known to provide an uncompromised driving experience in a remarkably civilized package. Growing from that tradition, the new 2011 Ford Mustang V-6 will offer an optional factory-installed Performance Package that combines high-tech horsepower and a taut suspension in a package that will appeal to track-day fans and sports car aficionados alike.</em></p>
<p><em>Powered by the same 305-horsepower all-aluminum Ti-VCT V-6 as the new 2011 Mustang, the Performance Package takes advantage of the new engine&#8217;s lightweight and high-revving nature to deliver a nimble performance car equally at home on a road course or a road trip.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The new Performance Package delivers on fast, fun and affordable, combining the all-new 2011 V-6 with Mustang GT prowess,&#8221; said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief nameplate engineer. &#8220;It&#8217;s a true sports car for the new generation and a smart choice for the environmentally-conscious enthusiast. It is a perfect marriage of power, performance and value.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Borrowing from the Mustang GT, the Performance Package includes numerous suspension, braking and body stiffening upgrades to deliver unparalleled handling performance. That road-holding is helped by a near-equal front/rear weight distribution, providing exceptional transient response along with the car&#8217;s slimmed-down curb weight of less than 3,500 pounds.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>2011 Mustang Performance Package upgrades include:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>• A 3.31 rear axle ratio for quicker off-the-line acceleration<br />
• Mustang GT coupe front and rear stabilizer bars<br />
• Mustang GT front struts and rear shocks/springs<br />
• Shelby GT500 rear lower control arm<br />
• Unique 19-inch wheels<br />
• Pirelli performance tires for improved grip<br />
• Mustang GT front and rear brake calipers with Performance Friction pads<br />
• A strut tower brace for increased body rigidity<br />
• Unique electronic stability control calibration with Sport mode for performance driving<br />
• Unique badging</em></p>
<p><em>The 2011 Mustang V-6 Performance Package will be available beginning late next summer, built at the Auto Alliance International Plant in Flat Rock, Mich. The new 3.7-liter V-6 will be built at Ford&#8217;s retooled Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>AutomotiveAddicts.com was on site at the recent Cars and Café get together celebrating their new location at Route 46 Entertainment District. Early on Saturday September 26<sup>th</sup> at 9am the cars started rolling in. Setup similar to an actual car show, the Cars and Café event was a success.</p>
<p><span id="more-7276"></span></p>
<p>Cars and Café is very similar to other car meets held across the United States that was originally something ignited in Europe. It is well known as the unofficial name of “Cars and Coffee” although some areas may have a slightly different name as does <a href="http://www.orlandoautomotiveclub.com/" target="_blank">Cars and Café in Orlando, FL</a> and the <a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/automotive-addicts-meeting">Automotive Addicts Meet</a> (AA MEET) in Jacksonville, FL.</p>
<p>Some of the highlighted vehicles that made an appearance was the Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir, Ferrari California, Tesla Roadster, Porsche GT, Lamborghini Gallardo Supperleggera, Lamborghini Gallardo LP-560, Corvette ZR1 and an onslaught of Viper’s, Nissan GT-R’s, S2000’s, various BMW’s and other relatively popular sports cars.</p>
<p>Here are a few images of the event below. Enjoy</p>
