Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before. The brand's motorsport credentials are equally impressive. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Ford ended Ferrari's six-year winning streak, beating the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini to the title with an ever-popular GT40.
Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death.

The Focus - a sporty yet budget-friendly hatchback - has been a cornerstone of Ford's lineup since its launch in 1998. Its top speed ranges from 110 to 130 mph, with a 0-60 time of seven to 12 seconds, depending on the engine configuration. There's no doubt that this model is iconic, earning an appearance in the film Baby Driver (2017), where a red Ford Focus RS took part in thrilling car chase scenes. The Mk4 Focus, released in 2018, earned two Car of the Year titles and ten category wins in less than a year and was also shortlisted for 'European Car of the Year'. Problems with the Ford Focus often affect the brakes and alternator.
