Ford Announces Electric Bike

Ford Mode Flex Smartbike NH
  The Ford Motor Company has announced a new electric bike to make commuting easier than ever! The Ford MoDe: Flex smartbike will feature an electric motor as well as pedals to allow you to bike to work without getting sweaty. In keeping with Ford's emphasis on technology, this is truly a "smartbike" that is capable of detecting potholes and making the handlebars vibrate to warn the rider about the upcoming hazard. The smartbike will interact with your smartphone, allowing you to set up a "no sweat" mode which makes it so you barely have to pedal to get where you are going. Or you can pedal to your heart's content. The best part, though, is that the Mode: Flex is designed to fit in the trunk of every single Ford vehicle. Thanks to its brilliant design, this smartbike can be broken down into two pieces and comfortably stored in the trunk of a Ford Focus.   The Ford Mode: Flex smartbike is designed to make commuting a breeze! Best of all, it fits comfortably in every Ford.

The 2017 Lincoln Continental will feature a wide variety of configurations, with three engines to choose from, and your choice of front-wheel drive, or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. The available engines are: a naturally-aspirated 3.7L V6, a turbocharged 2.7L V6, and a turbocharged 3.0L V6 which features Lincoln Drive Control as well as Dynamic Torque Vectoring.

These beautiful colors are nicely accented by your choice of 18-, 19-, or 20-inch aluminum wheels that are available either painted or polished. Lincoln understands that the young, successful professionals for whom they designed the Continental value technology. With that in mind, here are just some of the options that the 2017 Lincoln Continental has available: enhanced active park assist, lane-keeping system, SYNC 3 with voice-activated Navigation, 360-degree camera, pre-collision assist, rain-sensing wipers, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, premium LED headlamps, Revel Ultima Audio with 19 speakers, and much, much more.

The 2017 Lincoln Continental features a 30-way throne of comfort that can be finely adjusted to suit a driver's comfort levels, says Johnathan Line, advanced seat-innovation supervisor and global technical expert for seating. And surprisingly enough, the 30-way seats aren’t bigger than conventional seats; in fact, they actually use less foam, thanks to a flexible suspension system that provides the support typically offered by thicker cushioning.

2016 Ford Explorer Coming to NH

The 2016 Ford Explorer is coming to Irwin Ford in Laconia, NH! The 2016 Explorer will feature a newly refreshed, upscale cabin and an all-new 2.3L EcoBoost engine available in both the FWD and AWD configurations. The new 2.3L EcoBoost delivers 280 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, and is an improvement over the outgoing 2.0L EcoBoost (which was only available on the FWD configuration anyway). The 2.3L EcoBoost will provide only 20 horsepower less than the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6, while providing 45 additional lb-ft of torque! Improved driver aids and safety features provide additional peace of mind while traveling in comfort and style. Front and rear-view cameras with wide-angle lenses provide exceptional visibility, while handy features like perpendicular and park-out assists and semi-automatic parallel parking make parking easier than ever. Another new addition to the 2016 model year is the top-end Platinum trim level. When you buy a 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum, you can expect nothing less than the best. Platinum gives you multi-contour massaging seats, top-notch interior materials such as real wood, brushed aluminum, and leather, and a host of technological features such as active park assist, lane-keeping assist, a Sony audio system with Live Acoustics and Clear Phase technologies, and much more. The Platinum trim level even comes with Nirvana leather, heated steering wheel, collision warning with brake support, and adaptive cruise control. Both the Platinum and Sport models come with a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost that provides 365 horsepower and better acceleration.

2016 Lincoln MKX

The 2016 Lincoln MKX is coming to Irwin Ford Lincoln, your Laconia NH Lincoln dealer since 1951. This luxurious SUV will be a testament to quality engineering and premium materials. The amount of technological innovation that has gone into the 2016 Lincoln MKX is truly breath-taking. One of the most exciting new features include a 360-degree camera that provides a bird’s eye view of the area surrounding your MKX. This is achieved by combining four different cameras, one in the front fascia under the Lincoln star badge, one on each side mirror, and the rear view camera. And the yes, the forward-facing camera under the Lincoln badge is literally under the badge; the badge actually slides up to expose the camera when the 360-degree system is in use. The design team who came up with this revolutionary concept added that they love the “James Bond” feel of having high-tech accessories hidden in the car. And to add another layer of over-the-top luxurious technology, the front-facing camera has a self-cleaning system under the Lincoln badge to keep the lens crystal clear at all times. As far as the sound system, all 2016 Lincoln vehicles will feature Revel Audio, a division of Harmon that was designed exclusively for the Lincoln Motor Company. You won’t find Revel anywhere else; it is committed to a 10-year exclusive partnership with Lincoln. Revel was designed to provide a luxurious feel and premium product. Kevin Voecks, Founder of Revel Audio, called Revel, “a clear channel between the artist and your ears.” Revel Ultima, the highest end Revel, will be standard on all Black Label Lincoln vehicles. Revel Ultima will feature 19 speakers and a subwoofer, as well as a personalized audio system that allows you to adjust the sound to your exact specifications. There is a setting called “Audience” that makes it sound as if you are right there in the concert hall. Even more exciting is another setting called “Onstage” that makes it sound as if you are actually on stage with the musicians. Revel will be uniquely calibrated for every Lincoln product, so the calibration on an MKX will be specific to an MKX, while the MKS, MKZ, MKC, and MKT will all have their own specific calibrations based on cabin design. Even the seats have been redesigned. The Lincoln Motor Company started with the question, “How do you make the seat personal to the driver?” The result of this query is a 22-way seat with active motion that includes power thigh extensions and power headrests to accommodate a range of body sizes. The massage features keep you relaxed on long trips, while the heated and cooled leather seats will provide the over-the-top comfort you expect from a premium luxury brand like Lincoln. The end result is ease of operation combined with a luxurious seat to deliver a premium driving experience. The 2016 Lincoln MKX has a more modern interior with an all-new wheel, modified center console, and improved wood and aluminum decorative materials.  The 2016 MKX has two available V6 engines. The first is a naturally-aspirated 3.7L V6 which produces 300 horsepower and 221-ft-lb of torque. The second is a Ti-VCT EcoBoost 2.7L V6 with twin turbochargers. This turbocharged motor, although smaller, cranks out a whopping 330 horsepower and 369 ft-lb of torque! Be sure to look for the completely redesigned 2016 Lincoln MKX at Irwin Ford Lincoln this fall!
