[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16017972, member: 6727"] Here was what got my attention from the article. [i]"The initial purpose of the facility – up and running since 2014 – was to develop and test racecars virtually through an immersive simulator. [color=#ffa64d]But the tools have become so good so fast that Ford is now using the technology for its production vehicles.[/color] “The mission of Ford Performance is [color=#ffa64d]to transfer innovations from racetracks to the driveways of new Ford vehicle owners[/color],” said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance. “The tech center and this new driving simulator are two of the most important steps we have taken [color=#ffa64d]to help our mainstream engineering partners make sure the next Edge or F-150 is great to drive[/color] [color=#ffa64d]– even if you don’t check the performance model box.[/color]”[/i] This is all good/positive/encouraging news from Ford, IMO. I'm looking to buy a '19 or '20 Edge ST. It is encouraging to know that Ford is working hard to transfer what they learn from the track to the vehicles we will buy. That should help ensure what I drive has the very best engineering innovation incorporated. How can this NOT be encouraging, positive news?! ;) [/QUOTE]
