The 2002 Motor Trend Car of the Year. Continuing a legend of
Thunderbird.
The 2002 Ford Thunderbird marked the debut of the 11th generation
of the Thunderbird, two-seat, two-passenger, front-engine,
rear-wheel-drive personal luxury sports car convertible. Among the
awards it was named Motor Trend's 2002 Car of the Year.
Luxury 2-door convertible with optional removable hardtop; side
"Port Hole" windows. This beauty handles like a dream with a 3.9L
Jaguar AJ35 V8 (252 hp), and a 5-speed Ford Bordeaux 5R44E
automatic. There is no lack of power with a top speed of 140mph.
Great fuel economy of 17 mpg city / 23 mpg highway.
Fully loaded with features; cruise control, dual-zone automatic
climate control system with air conditioning, keyless entry,
security alarm system, power-retractable cloth convertible roof
(top), an AM/FM stereo radio with an in-dash 6-disc CD changer and
an Audiophile sound system with dual amplifiers for the rear
speakers, a driver message center, the HomeLink garage door opener
system, a glass rear window with a defroster, and automatic delay
on/off front headlamps.
Stunning interior with aluminum dash inserts; black leather-trimmed
interior included high-gloss black accents to the leather-wrapped
steering wheel and automatic transmission gear selector.
Chrome-clad aluminum alloy 17-inch wheels.
A recognizable classic. Thunderbird shape bends back into a rounded
prow of up-to-date aero efficiency. And the whole car tapers into a
subtle teardrop...a beautiful timeless design.
