The folks wagon! Could not resist.😂 On a serious note if you’re going to do a retro #EV this is how to do it. True to the original spirit and form creating an emotional connection with new generations. Sticking a retro badge on an EV does not work. Lots of unsold examples #vw

When leadership believes it knows better than the voice of the consumer. Making products few people want. Sad another 4000 colleagues that kept a brand iconic lose their livelihoods😢 Easy to have your eye off the ball when you are too focused on non-profit motor racing. 🤦‍♂️ shorturl.at/40DS0

The cuts will be made by the end of 2027, creating what Ford calls a “more cost-competitive structure”

How smart auto manufacturers make a profit from motorsports, even if needs must. A significant cost avoidance for VAG shareholders if this comes off. Work smart, not hard. #formula1 #Volkswagen #audi credit: @F1Chronicle

#TBT The 'works' Ford Cortina GTs were formidable #rally cars in the mid-1960s - this being one of the team cars on the 1964 French Alpine rally, where Vic Elford won the Touring Category outright
