Body = The Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin is the world's first high-performance
sport-utility truck (SUT). We're looking to take Ford performance
to an entirely new market segment with the Sport Trac Adrenalin,"
says Steve Lyons, vice president, Ford Motor Company and president,
Ford Division. "Adrenalin is designed to offer a unique combination
of performance and functionality.
Adrenalin has
combined the best attributes of two breakthrough Ford vehicles -
Ford SVT F-150 Lightning and Ford Explorer Sport Trac. It also offers
class-leading technologies, including all-wheel drive, a six-speed
automatic transmission and Ford's industry-leading AdvanceTrac®
with Roll Stability Control™. It offers four full-sized doors,
four bolstered bucket seats, and a four-foot composite box with
30
percent more cargo capacity than the current Explorer Sport Trac.
"We have
a very clear view of what we want to do to retain Ford's leadership
in performance vehicles," says Phil Martens group vice president,
Product Creation.
"This includes looking beyond traditional SVT products for
opportunities with unique performance attributes, such as all-wheel-drive."
The Sport Trac Adrenalin delivers searing acceleration with its
4.6-liter, 32-valve DOHC V-8 power train. A Roots-type
supercharger and water-to-air intercooler boost output to a whopping
390 horsepower and 390 pounds-feet of torque.
It has a six-speed
automatic transmission - the first for any SVT vehicle, which has
proven capable of heavy-duty use, contributing to the projected
6000-pound towing capacities of the Sport Trac Adrenalin. "In
addition to providing sure footing on slick surfaces, there's a
performance advantage to all-wheel drive," says Jay O'Connell,
SVT chief vehicle engineer. "A longstanding problem with performance
trucks was their inability to 'hook up' from a standing start without
excessive wheel spin. This AWD system puts power down through all
four tires, helping
Adrenalin launch with impressive authority."
With a supercharged,
390-horsepower V-8, the first six-speed automatic ever featured
in an SVT vehicle and an SVT-tuned fully independent suspension,
Adrenalin promises acceleration, agility and utility. Providing
an added measure of safety and control
during slippery conditions or emergency maneuvers all-wheel-drive
system is paired with Ford's industry-exclusive safety system, AdvanceTrac®
with Roll Stability Control™.
