Mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has just
unveiled two new mobile handsets, the N81 and N95. Thats great and all, but whats more
interesting is the partnership they have with Ford to create the Nokia Edition
Ford Mustang. Performance specifications
(if there are any enhancements) have not been released, but the car is totally
wired-in with Nokia gear otherwise. Seat
back mounted N800s are available for the two rear passengers and there is a
center console mounted N800 for the front passengers to enjoy. Each of the N800s are claimed to be control
centers for an on-board media server that also provides streaming audio. Streaming?
Yeah, the web on wheels. A Nokia
N95 provides the backbone connection to the Internet for this Ford
Mustang. Check out more inside. |

Thats right. We could hardly believe it either. Just unveiled in
Frankfurt, Germany by Four Motors (Reutlingen), this Ford Mustang packs
a whopping 280hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, thanks to a fuel sipping,
tree hugging bio-diesel powerplant. Dubbed the Mustang GT RTD, the car
is capable of a dig to dash at 62mph in 5 seconds and can reach a
pinnacle speed of just over 155mph. Truth be told, the stats arent all
that bad, considering the outer skin of the car is made from
lightweight bio-composite materials, fabbed from vegetable
trimmingsthats right, table scraps can serve a purpose other than
smelling up the trash can. The German Aerospace Center claims that the
outer skins can withstand extreme stress and coefficient loads commonly
found in spirited motorsports. It just goes to show, you dont always
know what the newest aftermarket specialty is going to be. You might
find yourself presently surprised in the very near future.

The Mustang fragrance hints at tones of cedarwood and hints at sweet pipe tobacco, and is sure to capture what it means to smell as though the essence of the Ford Mustang is part of the man. |
