Elements that have characterized all Ford Performance creations for years, such as supreme response and fun driving that rewards the driver, are now made accessible to an even greater number of SUV customers with the new Ford Puma ST Powershift, which is powered by the most powerful version of all of the ages of Ford’s award-winning 1.0L EcoBoost engine. Upgraded using 48V mild hybrid technology to deliver a maximum power of 170PS and 248Nm of torque, the award-winning 1.0-litre engine is mated to a 7-speed Ford Powershift dual-clutch gearbox with paddle shifters.

New Ford Ranger Raptor: Ford’s flagship performance pick-up
From the “Automotive & Electromobility 2023” exhibition, of course, the high-performance Ford Ranger Raptor, which is “signed” once again by Ford Performance, could not be missed. Point of reference is the all-new twin-turbo V6 3.0L EcoBoost petrol engine that delivers 292PS of power and 491Nm of torque. Drivers can choose their preferred engine sound by pressing a button on the steering wheel or selecting a drive mode that uses one of the Quiet, Normal, Sport and Baja settings. A high-performance off-roader like the new Ranger Raptor needs the same combination of wheels and suspension – that’s why Ford engineers completely redesigned the suspension, which features the next generation of FOX® 2.5” Live Valve Internal Bypass shock absorbers . Leading in performance and specifications is the permanent four-wheel drive system, which features a new, electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transmission (slow/fast), combined with front and rear locking differentials.
