Vignale Mondeo

Perhaps the most significant release of the year comes from the Vignale Mondeo. A brand new exclusive luxury arm of the company, the badge has been reserved for the Mondeo initially, with it being placed on more models in the future.

Both inside and out, you’ll get the feeling of quality. Features such as the chrome grilles and door handles help the vehicle to stand out. The interior adopts leather throughout, with the seats, door trim and door tops. main console and the steering wheels being covered by it. Neatly, the Vignale Mondeo will come with Wi-Fi.

It’s not just the cars themselves which will have extra substance, the manner in which the car is sold will also have that bit of extra extravagance too. Will the vehicle help Ford get the attention of those BMW, Mercedes and Audi customers?

Ford Mustang

The highly-praised muscle car will now come in a Fastback and Convertible form. For the first time here in the UK, the car will be made a right hand drive vehicle.

Ford have been mindful of Mustang enthusiasts, allowing the option of a 5.0 litre engine as well as a 2.3 EcoBoost engine. EcoBoost technology seems to be Ford’s main way forward, with it naturally downsizing many engines throughout the range, yet still managing to maintain its tremendous power.
