After the spectacular arid landscapes of Chile and the charging issues Lexie encountered there, Argentina was expected to provide some relief. The fascinating landscape continues across the border with a stunning location for her check in with the RecordSetter yellow jacket, before the Explorer is pointed towards San Miguel de Tucuman and onwards to the town of Loreto. And it’s clear her troubles aren’t over yet. A lack of charging infrastructure there means further reliance on domestic charging, which is naturally much slower. Lexie makes the strategic decision to stay in the agricultural town for an extra day to ensure she has maximum battery charge for the next 377 kilometres leg to Cordoba. It’s a chance for a breather in what’s proving to be a tiring continent in this epic around the world adventure. Two days later she’s on the road again and her journey through Cordoba and down to Buenos Aires highlights the duality of her trip so far. Argentina is green and verdant but the road...

Two new MS-RT models are being added to our Ford Pro portfolio, offering an exciting, halo option for customers who need a commercial vehicle but also want to make a statement about their business. The all-new Transit Custom MS-RT and all-new Ranger MS-RT, the first Ford Pro MS-RT models to be available from Ford dealerships across Europe, not only have the eye-catching appeal to help customers make that statement during the work week, they also have the versatility to support their lifestyle at the weekend.

Asia had been a vibrant and colourful adventure, now Lexie and the Ford Explorer head into the fifth continent of the journey with a very different prospect looming large; Chile’s arid Atacama Desert. The desert is the driest nonpolar desert on the planet and has been an experimentation site for Mars expedition simulations due to its similarities with the Martian environment. Leaving the bustling city of Santiago, the striking beauty of the surrounding mountains immediately hits, as does a sense of anxiety about the lack of charging infrastructure in the almost 500 kilometres journey ahead to La Serena. Keeping an eye on the Explorer’s range, the loss in kilometres on the steep inclines is concerning, yet regaining kilometres on the descents gives Lexie some reassurance. The journey from La Serena the next day to Copiapo is even more challenging, with no charging infrastructure enroute and the Explorer’s range indicator providing only a 30-40 kilometres safety net. This is the smallest...

With any ambitious adventure problems will inevitably be encountered at some point. So far only finding charging points, dealing with tricky roads and the occasional flat tyre have caused any issue, but in Vietnam the resolve of the challenge was put to the test as Lexie fell ill during the first stop in Ho Chi Minh city. With tight schedules to make border crossings and Lexie too sick to drive, the decision was taken to allow someone else behind the wheel.  While those kilometres won’t count in her official RecordSetter attempt to be the first person to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle, fortunately there are still plenty to travel to reach the minimum requirement of 28,968 kilometres. By Cambodia, Lexie was back to full fitness and in more familiar surroundings.  The five-hour drive from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap may be new, but Siem Reap is a city Lexie has visited a number of times; she travelled there as a child, backpacked there several times later on and ha...

2024 is the 60 th   anniversary of our Ford Mustang, an American icon, and the world’s bestselling sports car for the last ten years.   1 What better way to celebrate than with the introduction of a brand-new Mustang? 2 A new, razor-sharp design, enhanced performance from its upgraded V8 engine, and a fully digital cockpit using cutting-edge Unreal Engine computer game technology blends decades of Mustang heritage with modern technology. Available as a coupe or convertible, new Mustang is unmistakably a muscle car. A sculptured bonnet and powerful rear haunches are classic design cues, while the signature three-bar taillamps use LEDs for a contemporary touch. Inside, our new Mustang combines a 12.4-inch digital instrument panel with a 13.2-inch central screen to give a jet plane cockpit feel. It’s customisable too, with a choice of colours and displays, and the Unreal Engine gaming software creates interactive, animated graphics that can be controlled by touching or sw...
