Is This the Golden Age of Ford Performance?

Coming off the heels of the 2015 North American International Auto Show and the debut of the new Ford GT, the 2017 Ford Raptor, and the Shelby GT350 R, it’s pretty clear that Ford is ushering in a new era. But is it safe to call it the “Golden Age of Ford Performance?”

Well, you could easily argue that, given the show of power that Ford unveiled in Detroit coupled with the fact that the new Focus ST, Fiesta ST, and the Focus RS are all set to join the line-up as well.

Altogether, Ford has plans to bring more than 12 new performance vehicles by the year 2020, according to an official Ford press release.

“Ford remains committed to innovation through performance,” said Raj Nair, Ford Group Vice President, Global Product Development. “Our new global Ford Performance team ties together racing, performance vehicles and parts. It will allow us to more quickly introduce products and accessories that meet the needs of customers around the world on-road and on the track.”

I guess that pretty much says it all. So welcome, one and all, to the Golden Age of Ford Performance.
