All 305 or 420 horsepower, depending on the engine you choose.

If you were going to start your own car company, would you start from scratch and build something that nobody's ever seen before? Or, would you take something that's already well-respected and put your own nameplate on it? Believe it or not, one company in China is taking the latter approach, and has slapped their badge on a vehicle that looks remarkably likes the Ford F-150.

You may not think much about side view mirrors on a car. Ford not only spent time taking a close look at theirs, but even developed new designs for the mirrors on upcoming Ford Escape models. They have "developed an elliptical acoustic mirror," according to the Detroit Free Press.¹

2013's Ford Mustang now includes the option to add GT500 trim. If you choose to go GT, be prepared for 650-horsepower…
