Teased: A New Ford Bronco Concept Is Coming

Recently, Ford raised the possibility of a very special Ford Bronco concept that could pay homage to the classic patrol and rescue Broncos of years past, tipping their hand in a sense with their use of the phrase "Might As Well Have The Best." That's the official slogan of Filson, a premium American outfitter, and it points to the possibility that the concept will be born out of a partnership with that company.

Now, we've got a fresh batch of additional Filson Bronco teaser images courtesy of the official Ford Bronco Instagram page, and this time, we get a sneak peek at the exterior of the vehicle.

The photo of the vehicle's exterior leaves a lot to the imagination, but we can see that it's based on the four-door Bronco, and it wears matte black fender flare extensions and beadlocking wheels with bright machined-finish beadlock rings. We can see an extensive roof cargo system, but it's impossible to tell what's being carried on the roof.

But by far the most attention-grabbing aspect of the concept is the tasty two-tone paint scheme, which couples a frosty, minty, retro-looking green with white body side stripes. The world needs a whole lot more of that.

Volvo Approves Plans For Mystery New SUV...

Although sales for sedans like the Volvo S60 and S80 are not the strongest these days, popularity for its SUVs has never been higher. The Volvo XC40 and larger XC60 and XC90 are proving to be formidable competitors in their respective luxury SUV segments. Meanwhile, the XC40's all-electric sibling, the XC40 Recharge, Volvo's first-ever pure electric SUV, has just entered production. So where does Volvo go from here, aside from regular model cycle redesigns? Well, it appears it's going smaller and all-electric. According to Auto Express, Volvo has decided its next SUV will be an all battery-electric even smaller than the XC40. More than likely, it'll be called the XC20, a nameplate the firm has already trademarked. Speaking to Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson at this year's Beijing Auto Show, he confirmed the smaller XC20 EV SUV will be one of Volvo's first vehicle to ride on a new dedi...

New Ford's Mammoth 'Godzilla' V8 Isn't Coming To The Mustang...

Nonetheless, Ford's Godzilla V8 was built with just a singular purpose in mind: to work. It's a unique design, not based on any other V8 in the Ford production V8 lineup, available in the 2020-model-year Ford F-Series Super Duty and Ford E-Series vans. Peak output is a stout 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. Granted, it's already been proven that the Godzilla V8 has plenty of overhead for tuners; just this month, Brian Wolfe, Ford Racing's former director, managed to squeeze nearly 800 horsepower out of the mill while keeping it naturally aspirated. The engine will eventually power a Fox-body Mustang drag racer. With a retail price of just $8,150, we imagine the engine will land in plenty more drag racer projects before production is through. "I'm not aware of any plans for [Mustang]," Pat Hertrich, the engineering supervisor on the Godzilla project, told Muscle Cars and Truc...
