The tuners from Loder1899 have released a new performance and styling kit for the compact MPV Ford C-MAX. They described it as turning one of the “unpopular geeks” into “a popular jock,” by adding a new front spoiler, faux rear diffuser, and tailgate mounted spoiler before moving onto the performance. The Ford C-MAX was dropped 35 mm while an assortment of wheels are available ranging from 18 to 20-inches. Under the hood, the car is powered by a 2.0-liter TDCI engine that has been modified with a reprogrammed ECU to increase the output to 188 hp and 390 Nm of torque. At the track, this small Ford car from Loder1899 was able to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 163 mph.

It looks like the best Saleen cars have come to an end, since the parent company Revstone announced plans to ceise manufacturing the performance Ford Mustangs. A sad day for the tuning world, especially in the states since the Mustang is one of the most popular cars to modify these days. Hopefully, something better will come. They want to focus on other aftermarket performance parts, and will stop production of the S302 come the third quarter of 2011. As seen in previous articles here on Fancy Tuning, the S302 Ford Mustang GT features an aftermarket body kit, sport suspension, and limited slip differential for boosted performance.

Check out this video from a car crash of a Ford F150 parked on the hood of a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia. It’s never good to see an exotic like this Ferrari car wrecked from the inexperience of other drivers or the owner himself. It is unknown what exactly happened, but the Ferrari driver said the Ford F-150 jetted out right in front of him. Who knows if the Ferrari 458 was speeding or not, but the accident happened on South Parsons Ave in Brandon, Florida. What’s even worse is the Ferrari was a brand new 2011 model with less than 500 miles on the clock! Hope they have good car insurance, hit the jump to watch the video.
