<p>Despite the US Government strong-arming companies to manufacture domestically, Ford has built on its Letter of Intent and has entered into an agreement with the Government of Tamil Nadu to invest in the state. The American carmaker plans to invest Rs 3,250 crore for a project involving the production of next-generation engines. The production shall take place at Ford’s Chennai plant, which it still owns today, unlike its Sanand plant that it sold to Tata Motors.  <br><br>Following a Letter of Intent signed back in September 2024, Ford has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government, and it is yet to enter into a definitive agreement. Moreover, it plans to only manufacture powertrains in India, that too solely for the purpose of exporting them to global markets. So we won’t really see any Ford cars returning to India; at least not in the near future. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/nissan-india-crosses-12-lakh-units-export-milestone-122062/">Nissan India Crosses 12 Lakh Units Export Milestone</a></strong></p><p>Ford plans to start production in 2029, and aims for an annual capacity of 2,35,000 engines.

<p>Ford has unveiled the all-electric Bronco New Energy SUV, built specifically for China’s growing EV segment. It blends classic Bronco styling with modern updates and electric powertrain options. Designed especially for Chinese buyers, this new all-electric SUV is based on the Bronco Sport, not the larger Bronco sold globally. At first glance, the Bronco New Energy still carries that strong, boxy look fans love. But look closer, and you’ll spot smart design tweaks aimed at improving efficiency. A sealed grille, reworked bumper, and updated daytime running lights help reduce air resistance. Black cladding and silver details give it a tough yet fresh appearance, while a smooth panel above the grille replaces the usual engine cooling vents.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mg-m9-vs-kia-carnival-spec-comparison-whats-different-121309/">MG M9 vs Kia Carnival Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>The Bronco New Energy features squared-off fenders, rugged lower cladding, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel.

Ford Bronco Electric Specifications Revealed Ahead of Global Debut

Ford unveils the Bronco New Energy EV for China, offering up to 650km range, modern features, dual-motor AWD, and styling inspired by the Bronco Sport.

<p>Ford Performance has revealed the all-electric Super Mustang Mach-E, built to take on the 102nd Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2025. This high-performance electric SUV is not just a concept—it’s a purpose-built race car developed by Ford and motorsport experts for one of the world’s most demanding mountain races. The Pikes Peak Hill Climb is a 20 km course with 156 turns, climbing to an altitude of 14,115 feet. Electric vehicles like the Super Mustang Mach-E have an edge at such heights, where combustion engines lose power. Romain Dumas, known for his record run in the Volkswagen ID.R, will drive the electric SUV for Ford at this iconic event.</p>

<p>Aerodynamics play a major role in the Super Mustang Mach-E’s design. It features a large roof-mounted rear wing and aggressive front splitter that generate 6,125 pounds of downforce—more than most GT3 cars. While Ford hasn’t disclosed all the specs, the EV is expected to include multiple electric motors, torque vectoring, and a battery cooling system to tackle Pikes Peak’s extreme demands.</p>

This Ford Mustang Mach-E Looks Ready to Dominate Pikes Peak Hill Climb

Ford Super Mustang Mach-E will race at Pikes Peak 2025 with Romain Dumas, aiming to showcase Ford’s EV performance and break records.

<p>What you see on the cover of November 2024 of the <em><a href="https://www.autox.com/magazine/" target="_blank">autoX Magazine</a></em> is a glimpse of our annual mega-test. Other than merely whittling this list of 50-odd vehicles down to the top-ten machines launched in the past year, what our annual mega test enables us to do is put our ear to the ground and get a real sense of which direction the winds are blowing in. Well, all signs point to it being a gust from the East!</p>

<p>Spoiler alert – there are two Chinese EVs in our top-five cars of 2024. And the reason for that is very clear – they really are that good, and they really do provide class-leading value. That China is a powerhouse in EVs is not a new phenomenon, but just how much of a powerhouse is worth considering. How about the fact that 70% of the world’s EVs are made in China? Or consider the fact that <a href="https://www.autox.com/opinion/dhruv-behl/of-the-340-registered-ev-makers-in-china-only-one-is-profitable-byd-116457/" target="_blank">there are almost 350 registered EV makers in China. But only one of them is profitable</a> – BYD! And, yes, one of the two EVs in our top-five is a BYD.</p><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QZ3yIvrZnSA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

<p><br>In Q4 of 2023, BYD overtook Tesla to become the largest EV manufacturer in the world. And in Q3 of 2024, BYD overtook Tesla in revenue for the first time. After all, BYD is the only truly vertically integrated EV manufacturer in the world today – producing its own batteries, motors, and chips. In fact, its proprietary blade batteries are perhaps the most advanced and safest battery packs around – so much so that even Tesla sources batteries for its Model Y from BYD.</p>

<p>Elon Musk did warn the world that it wouldn’t be the establishment that would pose a threat to his EV supremacy, but the real threat would come from China. That the traditional automakers are floundering is also not a revelation.</p>

<p>VW has spent the past several years developing its own EVs, but they’re simply not on par with the Chinese competition. So, VW is adopting Chinese EV platforms for its next generation of EVs – at least in China to start with. In the meantime, the German giant is planning to close three plants in its home market. Porsche, meanwhile, is talking about giving its new EV platforms ICE powertrains because of how dismal their EV sales have been of late. Across the pond, in the US, Ford is losing money on every EV sold and doesn’t expect to make a profit till 2027. The CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, even admitted to a Xiaomi SU7 being his current daily driver – presumably his way of checking out the competition. You know the world order has changed when the CEO of the car company that invented the assembly line is dailying a car made by a Chinese cell phone manufacturer.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, closer to home, the thaw at our Northern border may mean Chinese EV investment, which has been on ice in India thus far, may be a little closer to getting the green light. Politics aside, if the BYD Seal and MG Windsor are anything to go by, the emergence of the Chinese EV means that Indian car buyers are getting an up close and personal look at what Jim Farley and his colleagues have found – that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to compete with Chinese EVs.</p>


The Chinese EVs That Have Been a Long Time Coming… Well, They’re Here!

<p><font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">While concept cars are rarely production-ready, they frequently capture our imagination and make us wonder what it would be like if they actually made it down the production line. These vehicles are often created to showcase cutting-edge technology, bold design, or innovative features, pushing the boundaries of what we expect from the automotive world. However, the transition from concept to reality is often challenging due to factors such as cost, engineering limitations, and market demand. Despite this, the influence of concept cars is undeniable, as they inspire future designs and innovations in the automotive industry.

<p><font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">BMW has a long history of high-performance cars, with the 1978 M1 standing out brand's first mid-engine supercar. In 1991, BMW introduced the Nazca Project, a mid-engine concept car designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro. Known internally as the M12, it was seen as a worthy successor to the M1, offering impressive design and performance. However, due to the M1's limited sales success, BMW chose not to produce another mid-engine supercar.</font></font></p>

Its design combined sleek curves with sharp lines. But it was the GT90's 5.9-liter quad-turbo V12 engine that truly set it apart. This powerhouse engine was set to make the GT90 the most powerful car of its era, pushing the limits of performance and design.</font></font></p>

<p><font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Jaguar F-Type solidified the brand's place in the performance car world, but the 2010 C-X75 concept could have been one of the most iconic British supercars of the decade. A tribute to Jaguar's rich motorsport history and legendary models like the XJ13 and XJ220, the C-X75 was designed as a futuristic, mid-engine supercar.&nbsp;</font></font></p>

5 Concept Supercars We Wish Had Made It to Production

While not for production, Concept cars offer a thrilling glimpse into the future of automotive innovation. Here are our top 5 concept supercars that we wished had gone into production.

<p>The Ford Mustang GTD&nbsp;has&nbsp;now become the fastest American production car to&nbsp;lap the legendary 20.8km&nbsp;Nordschleife loop, beating the Dodge Viper ACR (7:01:30 minutes) and the&nbsp;Lamborghini Aventador SuperVeloce (6:59.73 minutes). Driven by Multimatic Motorsports driver Dirk Muller, the Mustang GTD set an officially certified 6:57.685 lap time on the famed circuit nicknamed&nbsp;'The Green Hell'. According to Ford, the GTD&nbsp;is the sixth 'standard' production car globally to break the seven-minute barrier.&nbsp;The road-legal&nbsp;Mustang GTD supercar borrows several cues from the GT3 race car such as&nbsp;carbon-ceramic brakes, active aerodynamics (with a Drag Reduction System),&nbsp;semi-active suspension, and a big supercharger.&nbsp;Apart from a carbon fibre body, the GTD that lapped the famed track had&nbsp;motorsports-derived safety gear mandated by the Nurburgring, including&nbsp;a roll cage and a&nbsp;competition seat with a five-point harness.</p>

<p>With this&nbsp;track-focused setup, the&nbsp;Mustang GTD&nbsp;has finally delivered on the goal laid out by&nbsp;CEO Jim Farley at its global debut&nbsp;in mid-August 2023. The lap was recorded in early August though.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Credit for the Mustang GTD's successful sub-seven-minute Nurburgring lap time goes to a small, dedicated team of engineers and designers who worked over two years to turn the Mustang GT3 race car into the first-ever Mustang supercar. All this and more are documented in the&nbsp;14-minute clip,&nbsp;'The Road To The Ring'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuxuSLB1hg8&amp;t=840s</p>

<p>'The team behind Mustang GTD took what we've learned from decades on the track and engineered a Mustang that can compete with the world’s best supercars,' said Farley. 'We're proud to be the first American automaker with a car that can lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, but we aren’t satisfied. We know there’s much more time to find with Mustang GTD. We’ll be back.'</p>

<h2>Ford Mustang GTD: Powertrain</h2>

<p>A successor to the second-generation Ford GT, the Mustang GTD uses&nbsp;the same underpinnings and engine block as the GT3. Powering the Ford Mustang GRD is a&nbsp;supercharged 5.2-litre V8 engine that makes 815bhp and 900Nm of peak torque. It gets a rear transaxle rather than a traditional transmission.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thanks to a rear-mounted transmission, the Ford Mustang GTD has a 50/50 weight distribution. The top speed is rated at 325km/h, the same as the Mercedes-AMG GT.&nbsp;</p>


Ford Mustang GTD Sets New Lap Record at Nurburgring, Becomes the Fastest American Car with Sub-7-Min Time

The Ford Mustang GTD beat the Dodge Viper ACR by 4.3 seconds to become the fastest American car around the Nurburgring circuit.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/ford/">Ford</a> has unveiled the 2025 Bronco Stroppe Special Edition, honouring Bill Stroppe, a key figure in the 1960s and '70s, known for modifying factory Broncos for competitive off-road events like the Baja 1000 and NORRA Mexican 1000. According to Ford, a Stroppe-prepared Bronco won the Baja 1000 in 1969, making it the only stock 4x4 to achieve an overall victory in the event's history.&nbsp;He&nbsp;further solidified his impact on the company's racing history through collaborations, including his notable partnership with racing icon Parnelli Jones. The Stroppe Special Edition includes unique graphics and colour options,&nbsp;emphasising&nbsp;its connection to the original Bronco. It is equipped with advanced technology and performance enhancements, making it suitable for both off-road adventures and everyday use.</p>

<p>Staying true to its roots, the 2025 Bronco Stroppe Special Edition offers a modern twist on the original Calypso Coral, Wimbledon White, and Astra Blue livery of the Baja Broncos. For the first time outside the Raptor lineup, Ford has added Code Orange accents,&nbsp;paired with Oxford White on the body and an Atlas Blue painted hardtop. The design also incorporates practical off-road elements, including a matte black hood to minimise glare in bright desert settings, squared-off high-clearance fenders, and 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels. Additional exterior touches include a Frozen White grille, Code Orange tow hooks, and "Stroppe Special Edition" badging on the fenders.</p>

<h2>2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Special Edition: Engine Details</h2>

<p>The&nbsp;Stroppe Edition is built on the two-door Wildtrak model and comes equipped with robust off-road hardware components. Key features include 35-inch Goodyear Territory RT tyres and High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) 3.0&nbsp;with Fox Internal Bypass Dampers. It also sports side steps integrated with rock rails for added durability.</p>

<p>Propelled&nbsp;by a 325bhp, 2.7-litre turbocharged engine paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, this new&nbsp;edition is designed for enhanced&nbsp;performance. Additional off-road capabilities include Baja G.O.A.T. (Go Over Any Terrain) Mode&nbsp;and a stabiliser bar disconnect for better&nbsp;control on rugged terrains.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Special Edition Interior" src="/uploads/2024/10/Untitled-design-41-.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The cabin&nbsp;of the&nbsp;special edition model is distinguished by a white instrument mid-panel, originally introduced in the Bronco Heritage model, and is complemented by Code Orange accents. These accents are featured on various elements, including the "Bronco" wordmark on the dashboard, the bezel around the G.O.A.T. mode dial, the interiors of the grab handles, and contrast stitching on the seats and dash topper. Moreover, a "Stroppe Edition" badge is prominently displayed on the centre console, just in front of the cupholders.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/ford/">Ford</a> has announced plans to restart manufacturing operations at its Chennai plant in Tamil Nadu, marking a significant step in the company’s strategy to regain momentum in the Indian automotive market. With this, the facility, which had halted production in 2021, may&nbsp;once again become a hub for&nbsp;export vehicle manufacturing as Ford looks to meet rising demand and leverage its infrastructure in the region. This move is expected to create new employment opportunities and stimulate growth in the local economy.&nbsp;While the company has not disclosed any specifics about potentially re-entering the Indian market with sales operations, it may consider taking a positive step in that direction, given that India is currently&nbsp;the third-largest automobile market globally.</p>

<h2>Ford to Begin Vehicle Manufacturing in India</h2>

<p>In an official statement, Ford announced that it had submitted a letter of intent to the Tamil Nadu government, affirming its plan to use the Chennai plant for export manufacturing. This development&nbsp;came after a meeting between Ford's officials&nbsp;and Tamil Nadu CM&nbsp;M.K. Stalin during his visit to the US. The manufacturer&nbsp;stated that this strategic initiative will involve repurposing the Chennai facility to concentrate on manufacturing for export to international markets, aligning with its Ford+ growth strategy.</p>

<p>Kay Hart, President, of Ford International Markets Group remarked, 'We are grateful for the ongoing support from the Tamil Nadu Government as we explored different options for the Chennai plant. This step aims to underscore our ongoing commitment to India as we intend to leverage the manufacturing expertise available in Tamil Nadu to serve new global markets.'</p>

<p>Ford began its operations in India in 1995, establishing integrated manufacturing plants in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and Sanand, Gujarat. The Chennai facility had an annual production capacity of 2 lakh&nbsp;vehicles, while the Sanand plant could produce 2.4 lakh&nbsp;vehicles and 2.7 lakh&nbsp;engines annually. The company&nbsp;produced SUVs like the EcoSport and Endeavour at its Chennai plant,&nbsp;while the Aspire sedan and hatchbacks such as the Figo and Freestyle were manufactured at the Sanand facility. In January last year, the company sold the vehicle manufacturing unit of the Sanand plant to Tata Motors. However, Ford continues to produce engines at the Sanand plant and maintains its service operations in India.</p>

<p>The company&nbsp;currently employs 12,000 people in its global business operations in Tamil Nadu, with plans to increase the workforce by 2,500-3,000 over the next three years. Along with its engine manufacturing operations in Sanand, India is home to Ford's second-largest salaried workforce globally.</p>


Ford Coming Back to India? Letter of Intent Submitted to Tamil Nadu Government Confirms Intention

In an official statement, Ford announced that it had submitted a letter of intent to the Tamil Nadu government, affirming its plan to use the Chennai plant for export manufacturing.

<p>Ford's potential return to India is gaining momentum, as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin, leads negotiations, aiming&nbsp;to&nbsp;revive&nbsp;the automaker's operations in the state. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/ford/">Ford</a>, which ceased local manufacturing in India in 2021 due to financial losses and underwhelming sales, might reconsider its decision, spurred by talks facilitated by the Tamil Nadu government. The discussions are centred around reactivating Ford's Chennai plant, a key industrial hub, and leveraging India's growing automotive market. If successful, the move could cause Ford’s return to India, creating jobs and fostering economic growth. The talks signal a potential boost for the state's industrial ecosystem, while also in line with India's plan to become a global automotive manufacturing hub.</p>

<h2>Tamil Nadu CM-Ford Officials Meet: Key Points</h2>

<p>According to reports, Ford and the state government have been in talks for over six months, and the company is almost ready to decide on&nbsp;its plans for India and the future of the Maraimalainagar facility. The TN government&nbsp;has encouraged Ford Motor Company to renew its three-decade collaboration with Tamil Nadu by restarting operations at this&nbsp;facility near Chennai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During&nbsp;the meeting with corporate leaders, Stalin&nbsp;– who is visiting the US for two weeks – asked the manufacturer&nbsp;to&nbsp;expand its global technology centre in Chennai. According to a government statement, he invited senior executives from IT Serve Alliance, a leading consortium of IT service firms for small and medium businesses in the U.S., to explore new investment opportunities in Tamil Nadu. He met&nbsp;senior executives in Chicago, including Dr. Sripath Pat, Ford India's Director of Government Affairs, Vice President Matthew Kotlowski, and Kay Hart, President&nbsp;of Ford's International Market Group.&nbsp;Later,&nbsp;Stalin in his tweet on&nbsp;X said, 'Had a very engaging discussion with the team from Ford Motors! Explored the feasibility of renewing Ford’s three-decade partnership with Tamil Nadu to again Make in Tamil Nadu for the world!'&nbsp;</p>

<p>The meeting with the Tamil Nadu CM&nbsp;came&nbsp;after the company&nbsp;executives previously&nbsp;met&nbsp;officials from the Industries Department. For those unaware, Ford&nbsp;left India in July 2022 after closing the Maraimalai Nagar facility due to losses and a slump in the passenger vehicle industry following COVID-19.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several market reports also claim that&nbsp;Ford's India 2.0 strategy is expected to involve both export-focused manufacturing and local market assembly. Initially, the Maraimalainagar plant may be used primarily as an export-oriented facility, with a focus on assembling electric vehicles (EVs) for the Southeast Asian market.</p>
