Ion Park will also be close to FordвЂ™s product development center in Dearborn, and its 1,100-acre Dearborn truck plant, which currently produces the F-150 hybrid and the Raptor. A nearby batteries benchmarking test lab in Allen Park will support Ion Park as it tests cell construction and chemistries. Ion Park represents $100 million of a total $185 million investment into building higher-volume battery cells at lower costs.ДЇord will refurbish an existing 270,000-square-foot facility to include pilot-scale equipment for electrode, cell and array design and manufacturing engineering and innovation, according to the company. Only 30 minutesвЂ™ drive from where it all began, Ford aims to build its Ford Ion Park, a battery R&D facility where the automaker will house up to 200 battery technology experts and purchasing and finance leaders to help develop and manufacture lithium-ion and solid-state battery cells. The first two were mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission while the latter featured a CVT.Both Blue Oval City and BlueOvalSK battery manufacturing campus are expected to be capable of producing up to 43 GWh each, or a total of 86 GWh annually, in order to power FordвЂ™s next generation of electric vehicles.

In the rear, when lit, the taillights are forming an LED line that resembled a wing. The badge 'Corsair' was installed on the side of the compact Lincoln SUV. After names such as Navigator or Aviator, the Corsair resembled the Vaught F4U Corsair fighter plane from WWII and the Korean War. The whole new lineup resembles names from the aviation industry. It wasn't the same old Lincoln style seen on the Lincoln MKC which was replaced by Corsair. The headlights had a beautiful design, well integrated into the overall shape of the car. The look and the features offered by Lincoln were modern and premium. The 2019 Lincoln Corsair was based on the Ford Escape/Kuga platform, but apart from some technical details, it had nothing in common with it. The Lincoln brand had reinvented itself and started to close the gap into the German premium car manufacturers, and the 2019 Corsair was a good example of a compact premium SUV.
