Petty’s Garage Ford Mustang GT Specs | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

February 10, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Another day, another limited-edition Ford Mustang for sale. This time, our folks at Petty’s Garage Team are putting together two really special packages for 2015 Mustang GT fans, running on a very limited production of 143 units. What makes this modified Mustang so special?

Pettys Garage Mustang GT Lamarque Ford New Orleans

First, Petty’s Garage did not plan to put out this masterpiece for sale –at first. The first model was displayed at the SEMA Auto Show in Las Vegas, and it drew so much attention they decided to give it a shot. Growing interest and the right mechanics gave birth to two modified versions: Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Stage 1 Mustang GT will include a Ford Racing supercharger, custom engine adjustments, a MagnaFlow exhaust, and other upgrades. The updates bring the Stage 1 GT to 627 horsepower territory.

Also, the Stage 1 comes in any color, along with a reworked rear spoiler, 20-inch HRE Flowform wheels, center-exist exhaust, and other improvements to the interior.

Stage 2 gets upgraded brake calipers (for enhanced capacity for extreme performance vehicles), three-piece forged aluminum brakes, and a custom two-tone paint job. Out of the 143 production run, only 43 will be Stage 2 Mustangs.

Orders for the new Stage 1 and Stage 2 2015 Mustang GT can be placed at your local Ford dealership.

Reasons To Buy A Ford In 2015 | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

December 31, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

2015 is going to be a great year for Ford, as the company is introducing a myriad of updated models and new technologies. Consumers will have the best selection of SUVs, crossovers, pick-up trucks, sedans and sports cars, including some of the most anticipated cars of the new year. Ford’s commitment to quality, performance, fuel efficiency and safety make it one of the best options for car buyers in 2015. Let’s look at the top reasons to buy a 2015 Ford.

Reasons to buy  a ford 2015 Lamarque Ford New Orleans

Ford Offers EcoBoost Engines

Ford now offers EcoBoost engines in every model available (except Expedition), which means consumers have access to the latest performance and fuel efficient technology. Who would have though a 6-cylinder F-150 could outperform V8 competitors? America’s best selling truck now offers two EcoBoost engines, the biggest one producing 365 horsepower. Even Ford’s popular muscle car, the Mustang, is getting an EcoBoost treatment this year with a powerful 310 horsepower four-cylinder, that’s right, a four-cylinder Mustang. The technology behind EcoBoost is, in simple terms, a combination of small efficient engines and turbo-chargers with direct fuel injection.

Ford Has The Best Looks

When Ford started its One Global strategy, it was obvious some change was in place: design. Ford’s new design language features an Aston Martin-esque front grille, along with lean lines and a bolder look. Ford family of sedans is now well, unmistakably Ford, as the Fiesta, Focus, and Fusion feature similar elements that give the brand a much needed make-over. The new design extends to the SUVs, crossovers, and large sedans and it makes use of a piano-black mesh front grille for upscale models, such as the Taurus SHO or Explorer Platinum.

Ford Has Smart Production

Ford’s engineers have been hard at work to find new materials and innovative production techniques. Hence, the company is now using high-strenght aluminum for its engines and the body of the F-150, which many said it couldn’t be done. The company also has a new prototyping system that allows engineers to work faster and smarter, “printing” parts directly on sheets of metal.

Latest Technology

Ford now offers several safety technologies that can help reduce the risk of accidents, whether the driver is distracted or after a crash. The newest safety systems include AdvanceTrac stability control, SafetyCanopy system (crates a canopy with airbags to reduce roll-over related injuries), SOS post crash alert system, inflatable rear safety belts, blind spot system, driver park assist, and others.

Additionally, Ford offers great entertainment and console options, like MyFord Touch, SYNC, which is getting an update, intelligent-access with push-to-start button, rear view camera, birds-eye view and more.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

December 26, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

By now you should be familiar with Ford’s EcoBoost engines: great performance and amazing fuel efficiency. Now that Ford has made the technology available to every model in its line-up, let’s dive deep into the one of the most anticipated cars of 2015, the Ford Mustang EcoBoost.

2015 Mustang EcoBoost Lamarque Ford New Orleans

The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost is a rare beast. On one hand, it carries Ford’s decades old legacy of the American sports car, a small yet powerful vehicle with attractive looks. On the other hand, Mustang EcoBoost introduces breakthrough technology on a small and efficient engine with massive power. Thanks to an optimally sized twin-scroll turbocharger, a re-designed exhaust system and other modifications, this four-cylinder engine delivers 310 raw horsepower and 320 lb. of torque. This is an impressive feat considering just one generation ago, the base Mustang V6 produced 305 hp and 280 lb. of torque.

Recent track tests give the Mustang EcoBoost outstanding results: 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds and a quarter mile in 13.9 seconds. The engine is coupled with an available automatic transmission, which allows for smoother shifts and quick on-demand power, and a standard manual transmission for quick shifting. Also, the new Mustang finally gets independent rear suspension, one of the last hold outs on a technology that’s been available for a long time.

Mustang EcoBoost is as important for consumers as it is for the Ford brand. A few years ago, after realigning the company with a new global design language and new fuel efficient goals, Ford made clear that the brand was going through a big change, from the way cars looked to the engines that power them. Mustang EcoBoost is at the epicenter of this strategy as it brings to the table the best of the bold design and engine technology.

Overall, the new 2015 Mustang EcoBoost is a great balance of power and fuel efficiency, beating bigger V6 competitors’ engines.

The 2015 Mustang EcoBoost started hitting dealerships earlier this year and is now available at Lamarque Ford of New Orleans. Visit us online or stop by the dealership to test drive one today.

2015 Ford Mustang Praise and Awards| Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

November 17, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

As you know, the 2015 Ford Mustang is coming this Spring and is promising to be the best Mustang yet. Feature packed with EcBoost engine, full new redesign and other amazing specs, the new Mustang sure is generating a lot of buzz. Let’s look at some of the awards it has received so far.

Lamarque Ford: Mustang

Esquire Car Of The Year

That’s right, the popular men’s magazine is calling the all-new 2015 Mustang GT “one of the most approachable performance cars on the planet.” Esquire goes on to point out the popularity of the Mustang, not just today but throughout the years, even with popular competitors like Camaro and Charger. Each year, Esquire looks at a handful of cars that are attractive, affordable, and of course, fast. Like many others, the magazine praises the addition of the long-needed independent rear suspension, powerful V8, and overall feel. Esquire summarizes the 2015 Mustang GT as “affordable, stylish, and a riot to drive.”

Car and Driver 10 Best List

This one comes as no surprise, since the publication has been talking about it for a while. Again, like Esquire, a lot of praise comes from the independent rear suspension. Let’s set this straight though: although independent rear suspension is nothing new, Ford Mustang was known stubbornly keeping a solid rear axle, which made sense in drag races but really affected day to day drivability. Hence, what seems to be the one feature everyone is talking about, it was only really a mater of time. Moving on.

Unlike Esquire, Car and Driver really looks at the overall car performance and specs, going well beyond looks and style. However, they point out the uniqueness of the interior and how the combination of stitching and aluminum give the 2015 Mustang a feel “absent from mainstream American cars.”

Detroit’s Best Production Car Award

After appearing in the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, the 2015 Mustang won this prize. Although a controversial new design, the pony car won the hearts of attendees with its bold lines and strong muscle car presence. However, this was no easy feat, as the 2015 Mustang was up against Corvette Z06, Lexus RC-F and BMW M4.

AutoGuide.com Reader’s Choice Car of the Year Award

AutoGuide focuses on the introduction of the EcoBoost engine as a more powerful option than the V6. The new EcoBoost, a 4-cylinder turbo-charged engine, produces more power while consuming less fuel, which is an amazing feat. Unlike the other publications, AutoTrader asks its readers to vote on their favorite vehicles.

We wouldn’t be surprised if the 2015 Mustang keeps getting more attention from the media and other publications, as it is truly one of the best cars of 2015.

Top Fords For 2015 | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans, Metairie

October 30, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Since the start of their global strategy, Ford has made it clear they’re serious about pushing the limits of technology, design, and performance. 2015 will be a big year for Ford, as they’re introducing all-new models across the board and significant updates to all models. Here’s a quick wrap-up of what’s in store for 2015 from the blue oval.

2015 Ford Taurus at Lamarque Ford New Orleans

All-New 2015 F-150

The F Series truck has been Ford’s work horse for decades, and 2015 will see a brand new F-150 like no other truck. From its all-aluminum frame, to the new headlights and towing capabilities, this truck remains America’s best selling vehicle. Ford is also introducing a new engine line-up, betting heavily on its  V6 EcoBoost, which outperforms bigger engines while operating more efficiently. Inside its cockpit you will find an office, a zen place, a multi-media center, all in one.

2015 Ford Mustang

Mustang fans are excited about 2015 as the new pony car gets an exterior redesign, new gadgets and new engine line-up. The 2015 Mustang now sits closer to the ground with a meaner, bolder look, embellished by LED headlamps and taillights and leaner lines on its sides. Line lock, which let’s you burnout the tires for preparation at the drag strip, comes standard on all GT’s and is an option for all models. Mustang enthusiasts will also appreciate the new four-cylinder EcoBoost, which outperforms the V6 standard engine.

2015 Ford Taurus

Earlier this year we featured a post on the 2015 Taurus SHO, which features  AWD and a turbo-charged V6. SHO, which stands for Super High Output, is the top-of-the-line Taurus and reflects the best of the best. With Taurus, Ford is sending the message that they still own the full-size market, and they do so with style. 2015 Taurus also offers BLIS blind spot warning system, MyFord Touch with SYNC and standard rear-view camera.

2015 Ford Focus

Focus is the world’s best selling nameplate, and as such, one can always expect great new iterations and improvements. The 2015 model does not disappoint and brings much of the same great engineering to the market. Models highlights include a 3-cylinder EcoBoost and a turbo-charged ST performance.

Ford At The 2014 Paris Auto Show | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

October 8, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

As Ford details and expands its European line up, the company is having an exciting month with a host of redesigned and refreshed models debuted in 2014 Paris Motor Show.  This event is perhaps one of the largest and most prominent of the automotive 2014 calendar year.  In a sea of advanced production and new concept vehicles, the all new Ford S MAX was shown alongside the redesigned C MAX and Grand C MAX as well as the brand-new Ford Mustang.  The show also unveiled Ford’s new Focus ST and Focus ST Diesel, and Ford’s all new Edge, the company’s leading innovative design in Ford SUV selection.

Ford Paris Motoro Show Lamarque New Orleans C Max

Ford’s S MAX had already earned the prestige of being one of the most excellent multi-purpose vehicles on the market, and with the car’s fresh renovation, Ford plans to take that reputation one step higher.  The esteemed family friendly vehicle has been on the market for nearly a decade, with a mini facelift in 2009.  Now the Ford S MAX exciting makeover has added practicality, safety and technology to a model that has stayed relatively the same size with the same exceptional fuel efficiency.  It is not yet determined if this model will be made available in the United States.

The Ford C MAX will be available globally, but not until late 2016.  Updates to the C-MAX include design and internal material changes as well as two different engine choices: a 1.5 liter EcoBoost and a 1.5 liter turbocharged diesel.  The vehicle will also be quieter than before due to a change in sound silencing acoustic components and thicker glass.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is coming to showrooms here, and the unveiling of it at the 2014 Paris Motor Show was the first time European public had ever seen the make and model.  The revered breed is now in it’s sixth generation and for the first time ever Ford makers have added independent rear suspension, making this the models first extensive revamp in a decade.  Ford has also reworked the Mustangs front suspension, and included electrically assisted steering and a new muscular sub frame, making for a smooth and secure and exciting joyride. The European lineups are packed with a 5.0L V8 and a new 2.3L Ecoboost 4 cylinder.  We are looking forward more than ever 2015.  It’s going to be a big year for us here and overseas.

2015 Mustang Performance | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

September 22, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

With the all-new 2015 Mustang scheduled to hit dealerships in December, the final specs are rolling in. Several car magazines have done their own tests and they all agree on one thing: the new Mustang is awesome! The 2015 Mustang comes in three engine configurations: a 3.7 liter V6 , a 4-cylinder turbo-charged Ecoboost, and a 5.0 GT.

Lamarque Ford New Orleans Metairie celebrating Mustang's 50th anniversary

The standard entry level engine is a 3.7 V6, and it was the first to introduce twin Ti-VCT technology to the Mustang lineup. The V6 produces 300 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft of torque, which ensure a fun ride. However, the best features are its standard equipment, which for 2015 include an independent-rear suspension, 17″ aluminum wheels, HID headlamps with signature lighting, dual exhaust, LED tail lamps, leather-wrapped steering wheel and hand brake, and more. The V6 is definitely a great options for first time sports car buyers.

Next comes the four-cylinder EcoBoost, which produces more power and torque than the V6 while getting better gas mileage. The 2.3 is Mustang’s first EcoBoost as it now joins the rest of the Ford family. EcoBoost engines are designed to perform better than bigger legacy engines while reducing emissions. Thanks to its twin turbo-chargers and a new exhaust system, the EcoBoost Mustang hopes to be the most popular model.

Finally, we meet the powerful 5.0 V8. This GT model tops at 435 horsepower and 400 lb. of torque, thanks to improvements like a new intake manifold. The GT’s performance package includes 19 in wheels, a larger radiator, Brembo brakes, and updated suspension for better stability.

Remember to stop by Lamarque Ford and test drive the all-new Mustang next month.

Ford Safety Features | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

July 28, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Ford has invested in a wide range of technologies to help protect drivers from the unexpected and to teach them drive safer. As part of the Go Further promise, Ford takes pride in being first to market these advancements to improve the automotive industry as a whole. Here’s a look at the initiatives Ford has implemented to grow our already safe line-up of vehicles.

Ford Safety New Orleans

Air Bags Reimagined

Ford is packing unprecedented power in the new 2015 Mustang, and with great power comes great responsibility. The new Mustang is not only the gutsier, but also the safest Mustang ever, as it introduces a new airbag technology that goes beyond the conventional paradigm . The new airbag restrain keeps the front passenger away from impact zones and it activates precisely when is needed. This new safety features props the glovebox open and allows for an inflatable plastic bladder to protect the knee area, expanding all the way to the side of the door to safely secure the passenger’s legs. Additionally, the 2015 Mustang uses eight airbags, twice as many as the previous model.

Inflatable Safety Belts

In everyday use, the new Ford safety belt acts and looks like a normal seat belt. However, when the crash system determines is the right time, the airbag inside the belt rapidly deploys, distributing the crash force across the occupant’s body up to five times more efficiently. After realizing this technology could be a game changer, Ford decided to open up and license inflatable safety belts to other companies, making the road safer for everyone.

Highest Safety Rating

Transit Connect, Ford’s commercial and fleet wagon, earned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s highest rating. For starters, the 2104 Transit Connect uses high-strength and ultrahigh-strength steels for its body structure, which make it more rigid and better prepared for collisions. The new model also includes front airbags for the main cabin and side curtain-style airbags for the rear passenger area. Transit Connect can also be equipped with Ford’s latest driver assist technology, which include a rear-view camera and front and rear sensing systems.

Virtual Crash Research

In March of 2014, Ford announced an increased investment in research technologies to obtain better data on crash testing. Although Ford has conducted physical crash tests since 1954, the technology doesn’t allow the flexibility and pace of change the company needs today. With this 50% increase in computing power, Ford can retrieve and analyze crash data faster, allowing them to conduct more tests and use it in its in-car technology like perpendicular parking, park-out assist, and SyncApp link.

2015 Mustang Features Confirmed | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

July 18, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

We’ve been talking about the new 2015 Ford Mustang for a while, and although we knew what it looked like and all about the awesome features, the official numbers were just released last week. That’s right, The Ford Motor Company announced official engine configurations, EPA fuel efficiency ratings, engine enhancements, transmission upgrades and horsepower. To truly understand the new improvements we’ll look at the different engine configurations the 2015 Mustang has to offer.

2015 Mustang coming to Lamarque Ford of New Orleans

2015 Mustang Joins EcoBoost Family

The 2015  Ford Mustang is introducing the new 2.3 EcoBoost engine, a four cylinder beast that produces 310 horsepower and  320 lb. of torque. Ford engineers went incredible lengths to pack this much power in such a small package, as this new EcoBoost has the highest power density to date in any Ford. So what can we expect from a muscle car with a four cylinder engine? Let’s just say it blows its V6 sibling out of the water, with better numbers all around including fuel efficiency. Some may even think Ford is trying to kill the V6 version altogether, since an upgrade to the EcoBoost is a mere $1,570, or a difference of $32 per month over four years. So what are critics saying?

Ever since Ford announced there would be a four-cylinder Mustang, car writers around the world remained doubtful that such a vehicle could do any good to the nameplate. Let’s face it, muscle cars have always been about big engines, fast laps, and pleasantly loud exhausts. After proving it could build a smaller yet more capable engine, Ford’s final concern was to bring an exciting sound to the engine, so it fine tuned it to match that of bigger cars. So fear not, Mustang fans, your EcoBoost pony car will still have a gutsy exhaust sound.

Now that we’ve covered your concerns over flashy engine features like, you know, the way it sounds and how much power it produces, let’s get a bit more technical. What makes the 2015 EcoBoost Mustang engine so great? It’s all about the new materials and of course, the new turbo-charger. Here are the new engine enhancements:

  • Steel piston ring carriers
  • Premium bearings
  • Updated valves
  • Forged-steel connecting rods
  • High-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder blocks
  • Deep-sump, die-cast aluminum oil pan
  • Forged-steel crankshaft
  • Piston-cooling jets

Mustang GT: New V8 Performance

Over the years, the Mustang team has experimented with exclusive street-racing models, like the legendary Shelby 500 and the Boss 302. Although these vehicles are equipped with performance upgrades that would be too costly for regular production cars, Ford has learned plenty from these efforts. The all-new 2015 Mustang GT sports a 5.0 liter V8 engine, and borrows the best technology from the 2012 Mustang Boss 302. To achieve its impressive 435 horsepower and 400 lb. of torque, the Mustang GT’s engine was redesigned to allow more air into the cylinders and intake. The revised engine takes advantage of the following features:

  • New valve system that allows them to close completely at high rpm
  • A redesigned combustion chamber that fits larger valves for less restriction in air flow
  • Lighter and more durable connecting rods
  • All-new deeper piston tops
  • Bigger intake and exhaust valves
  • Revised intake and exhaust camshafts

The 2015 Mustang GT gets all these upgrades plus a redesigned state of the art transmission. Whether you choose manual or automatic, you will experience better and smoother shifting than in any previous model. The manual gear-box gets improved precision thanks to its new linkage system and the shift lever’s new location closer to the driver. The new Mustang’s automatic transmission, available in both EcoBoost and GT, gains new steering wheel-mounted shift paddles to enhance the driving experience.

Ford is also producing a relatively updated version of the V6 engine, which generates 300 horsepower and is available on the 2015 Mustang base model. Although it is still a great car, Ford is betting the new Mustang strategy on the EcoBoost and GT engines. Contact your local Ford dealership to learn more about preorders and availability.

2015 Mustang Features| Lamarque Ford | New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner

June 25, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

The all-new 2015 Mustang is scheduled to make its debut later this fall and we couldn’t be more excited. Rumors keep rolling in that Ford is ceasing manufacturing of the current model as it readies production lines for the 2015 Ford Mustang, so we decided to give you an in-depth look at the latest version of the legendary car. We’ve already covered a few key aspects of the vehicle, like the 2015 Mustang aerodynamics and the celebration surrounding its 50th anniversary, but today we’ll wrap-up the official information from the company. Find out what makes the new Mustang so special and why we’re so thrilled about this legendary muscle car.

Meet the 2015 Ford Mustang. Available at Lamarque  Ford this Fall

Mustang Design Features

The 2015 Mustang shares little with its predecessors, as the new car has been completely redesigned. The most noticeable change comes to the front of the car, as the hood has been lowered significantly and the headlights came forward. This affects the whole silhouette of the car and it projects a more aggressive look, giving the Mustang a longer hood and more recessed cabin. From front to back, the bold lines chiseled on the side panels take you to the Mustang’s slimmed down ‘hips’, which have as much taste as they have an aerodynamic purpose. The rear wheels, however, are offset twenty millimeters outwards on each side, giving the 2015 Mustang a wider back fender which complements the muscle car look.

Despite the full redesign, the 2015 model is unmistakably a Mustang. The new silhouette and roof line helped modernize the car, while giving it the fastback profile reminiscent of the 1964 and 1965 models. The design team also set to give Mustang a more three-dimensional look, which is visible on the surfacing of the taillights and the side panels.

Performance

Although the company has been mum about horsepower and fuel rating, details about engine configurations and trims are readily available. The base model sports a 3.7 liter V6, similar to the current 2014 offering that achieves 305 horsepower with a manual transmission. New to the line-up is a 4 cylinder Ecoboost Mustang, with a 2.3 liter engine and the signature turbocharger seen across these fuel efficient engines. Ford assures that the high-capacity direct injection system and the twin-scroll low-inertia turbocharger will give Mustang Ecoboost an improved time-to-torque and exhilarating driving dynamics. As always, a 5.0 liter V8 joins the party with a promised increase in performance.

Technology Improvements

Ford has designed the 2015 Mustang completely around the driver’s needs, hence all the new features serve the daunting task of enhancing driving experience. All 2015 Mustangs come standard with intelligent access / push-to-start button technology, which means that as long as the key is on you, you can unlock and start the car without reaching into your pocket. Blind Spot Information System is also available, a system that warns you when vehicles are approaching you from blind spots.

The Convertible

The Ford Motor company has in essence designed two different 2015 Mustangs, the fastback and the convertible. Ford claims the 2015 drop top was conceived from the ground up to be a convertible, and its lines and styling show just that. Whether the top is up or down, the 2015 Mustang has a great character and an undeniable Mustang look.
