Borgman Ford happened on a story this week that's sure to interest West Michigan Ford Performance fans and casual buyers alike. It tells the story of an elite team of engineers who push Ford's high-performance vehicles to their absolute limit. This is all done to collect data - pertaining to braking, steering, acceleration, and more. It sounds like maybe the coolest job ever, but it's their work that refines technologies such as EcoBoost Engines - now commonplace in Ford vehicles around Grand Rapids

Borgman is joining Ford in celebration this week, as the ten millionth Ford Mustang has just rolled off the Flat Rock assembly line here in Michigan! This particular vehicle is a 2019 Ford Mustang GT V8 convertible in Wimbledon White, boasting a whopping 460 horsepower.

This recent article, published in the Official Ford Media Center tells more about how the vests help reduce worker fatigue, discomfort, and injury.
