On the main floor of the North American International Auto Show, Ford had the only moving car. (There was an eco-ride and drive, but it may as well have been invisible, it was so distanced from the main show.) The track was elevated, exquisitely designed and a great ride. It showcased the new all-electric Focus and Transport Van and, though guests didn’t drive, knowledgeable brand ambassadors kept the conversation flowing for the five minute ride. At the top of the slope, 180 degrees from the start, the driver pulled the vehicle onto the dynamometer (a stationary roller used to measure horsepower, torque and acceleration) and accelerated to 45 mph to show off the power of the ride. Then it was an easy coast back to the beginning. Smooth.
