Ford (F) To Expand Line-Lock Feature On Mustang EcoBoost
Zacks Investment Research | Jun 29, 2017 09:44PM ET
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) announced that it will expand the electronic line-lock facility on 2018 Mustang. This exciting burnout feature, which was earlier available only on V8-powered Mustang GT, will now be standard on all pony cars. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost equipped models will also carry this exclusive feature.
The excitement of burnouts never fades. Traditionally, the electronic line-lock feature is being used by drag racers ahead of the starting line for heating up the tire rubber to gain better traction. This feature helps bracket racing drivers in achieving more consistent performance.
Using switches, a driver can toggle through the menu on the instrument cluster to activate electronic line-lock. On models equipped with 12-inch digital instrument display, drivers will witness an industry-first video-game-like animation of a spinning alloy wheel, which will create a cloud of smoke, indicating that the electronic line-lock feature has been activated.
