Three Ford Edge customs for SEMA 2015

Ford has commissioned three modified Edge crossovers for the Specialty Equipment Market Association show, which takes place next month in Las Vegas.

Ignition by Webasto

Like the two other Edge customs, Ignition by Webasto is based on the current Sport trim grade. Unsurprisingly, several of its key components have been supplied by Webasto. Among them are a sunroof, a ThermoCall TC3 parking heater and a Thermo Top Evo engine pre-heater.

Upgraded Rotora brakes sit behind 22” AG Luxury forged wheels, while a front splitter, side skirts and a rear diffuser – all made from carbon fibre – help to create a more purposeful look.

A high-flow air filter plus a recalibrated ECU are some of the tweaks made to improve performance. Sportier suspension settings complete the transformation.

Tjin Edition

Axalta Clipper Blue paintwork and matching ADV.1 22” three-piece wheels give the Tjin Edition Edge a definite colour theme.

Air Lift air suspension together with an Air Lift Performance 3H air management system are the most significant alterations, though. And the changes don't stop there, because larger brakes are fitted and the engine gains a Motiv down-pipe, a Magnaflow exhaust and a bespoke intercooler.

Vaccar

Vaccar's Edge interpretation uses a lot of prototype parts. These include the air suspension kit, rear strut bar, exhaust, engine intake and triple-gauge dashboard pod.

Also part of the specification are Alea leather upholstery, a set of 22” Rovos Pretoria wheels and Canfield Customs paintwork that incorporates flat metallic and brushed finishes.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
