So I just hear the official Ford public announcement for the ''redesigned version of its Mustang sports car, but Ford's VP says you'll have to wait for the 2014 model - and that revamped Mustang will honor the Mustang 50th anniversary", on my crappy local news/Bloomberg brief before I read it on The Mustang Source??
I mean I've read the rumor threads, but this was the official public release.
Why am I here again??

Press Release Source: Federal-Mogul Corporation On Tuesday September 13, 2011, 8:00 am EDT
FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal-Mogul Corporation (NASDAQ:FDML - News) will introduce at this year's IAA (Frankfurt Auto Show, Hall 4.1, Stand E15, September 13-16, 2011) its highly innovative Advanced Corona Ignition System (ACIS), a breakthrough technology for fuel efficiency and emissions reduction that significantly outperforms conventional spark-ignition systems. Federal-Mogul's ACIS is currently undergoing development with several customers and has enabled an up to 10-percent fuel efficiency improvement over standard spark ignition in development testing.

Corona ignition creates a significantly larger high-intensity plasma ignition source, spread throughout the combustion chamber, when compared to conventional spark ignition systems. The ACIS technology provides for more thorough combustion and enables advanced combustion strategies like lean burn, highly diluted mixtures and very high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), further increasing fuel efficiency. The company's ACIS utilizes materials and design strategies to facilitate high-volume production implementation on current and new engine architectures.
"Federal-Mogul's new corona discharge ignition is a breakthrough innovation that can offer significant fuel economy gains and emissions reductions at a lower incremental cost than other technologies," said Federal-Mogul President and CEO Jose Maria Alapont. "Our Advanced Corona Ignition System is another example of Federal-Mogul's commitment to developing leading technology and innovation to support vehicle manufacturers with regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction for energy efficiency, environmental responsibility and vehicle safety enhancements."
ACIS uses a high-energy, high frequency electrical field to produce repeatable, controlled ionization, creating multiple streams of ions to ignite the fuel mixture throughout the combustion chamber, whereas conventional spark ignition creates only a small arc in the gap between the electrodes of a spark plug.
This highly effective ignition technology also allows for optimized timing of the start of combustion versus conventional ignition systems. ACIS generates rapid ignition and quick burning, ensuring greater conversion of the fuel energy to mechanical energy with the added potential for simultaneous reduction in engine cooling requirements.
"Federal-Mogul's and our customers' testing is demonstrating that the improvements to fuel economy and CO2 emissions are at levels unachievable with spark ignition," Alapont added.
"We have already recorded fuel consumption improvements of up to 10 percent on a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine, and there is potential for further improvements," said Kristapher Mixell, Federal-Mogul's director, advanced corona ignition system development, Powertrain Energy. "Our Advanced Corona Ignition System is a game-changing technology that also makes other combustion improvements possible."

I will buy Jack Stands!!!
Charlie, that's a really sweet read right there. Wonder when it'll make it to production? Hope it comes out to be a replacement for spark plugs. Who woulda thought it'd take over 120 years to find a better replacement for them

At first I thought they were talking about Caronas as in beer that I read spark plug then it all clicked lol
I wonder how much they will run for when they are finally put into production. I assume that they should be able to be put into our cars without much problems

Thanks Nathan, Why aren't you at school??? or doing homework...
Haven't you turned into a college puke yet? I never here from my son anymore, he is learning the finer things in life like beer pong with the girls.
or strip poker.
..... you know, important stuff
