Win a 2015 Ford Edge at the Ford EcoBoost Challenge Set For 17-City Test-Drive
Who wouldn’t want to win a free car? And Ford Motor Company is giving you the chance to Win a 2015 Ford Edge at the Ford EcoBoost Challenge Set For 17-City Test-Drive.
Now you can get behind the wheel of Ford’s latest products, with its third EcoBoost® Challenge consumer drive tour launching in early March.
The EcoBoost Challenge will tour 17 cities in 2015, and will provide five unique driving experiences in Ford products. According to Ford, there’s a new incentive — participants will have an opportunity to WIN an EcoBoost-powered 2015 Ford Edge, and they can earn additional entries in the sweepstakes by bringing guests with them to the event.
The tour kicks off March 7 at Miami’s Sun Life Stadium. Participants will drive the latest Ford vehicles along with in-market competition. So you get to drive back-to-back with competitor vehicles. More than 28,000 people took part in last year’s EcoBoost Challenge.
“With EcoBoost engines now available across 100 percent of our U.S. light-duty lineup, the EcoBoost Challenge lets consumers experience this innovative technology that helps Ford deliver better fuel economy with a more engaging driving experience than the competition,” said Michele Bartlett, Ford group marketing manager for large cars and SUVs. “Not only is the EcoBoost Challenge a lot of fun, but getting people in the driver’s seat is the best way for them to experience the craftsmanship, innovation and performance of the Ford lineup.”
The BrothersPerformance.com team is excited the new ST Reaction Time Challenge, which gives participants a chance to test their reflexes in both Fiesta ST and Focus ST. Ford is also offering a chance to drive the all-new 2015 F-150 and Edge against the competition. There’s also a special driving section set up for the 2015 Mustang EcoBoost, designed to highlight the model’s improved handling and performance levels. Ford will also let folks test the innovative park assist technologies. Hybrid fans can get behind the wheel of the Fusion Hybrid. In addition to the all- new 2015 Ford Mustang and all-new 2015 Aluminum F-150, additional test vehicles include the 2015 Ford Edge, new 2015 Expedition, plus Escape, Fusion Hybrid and Transit Connect Wagon.
“With its new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine with standard Auto Start/Stop, the 2015 Ford F-150 resets the bar in light-duty pickup truck performance, capability and efficiency, with class-leading EPA-estimated ratings for gasoline-powered full-size pickups. The 2015 Ford Mustang features an all-new available 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and the 2015 Ford Edge comes standard with a twin-scroll 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder or an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6.”
But wait, there’s more. Ford is touting its “ShiftPhobia” boot camp. This offers consumers a unique hands-on education into driving a manual transmission from a professional driver. “By combining advanced engine technologies such as turbocharging, direct injection and variable valve timing, Ford EcoBoost engines can help customers conserve fuel without sacrificing power. In North America, EcoBoost sales make Ford the leader in turbocharged direct-injected gasoline engines in high-volume passenger vehicles such as Fusion, F-150, Edge and Escape. For 2015, 100 percent of Ford’s U.S. light-duty vehicle lineup is available with an EcoBoost engine.”
