2008 Ford Five Hundred (VIDEO)

More power and updated styling is on the menu for next year's Five Hundred, Ford's full-size sedan.

Next summer, the Five Hundred will host Ford's new 3.5-liter V6 engine, which will develop 260 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque. That's 57 horses more the 2007 model. Other mechanical changes include a revised suspension setup, which provides an improved ride.

The Five Hundred also sports Ford's three-bar chrome grille and a redesigned front fascia, as well as clear-lens taillamps.

Ford Sync will also be available in the sedan, which is a voice-activated in-car communications and entertainment system developed in conjunction with Microsoft. The 2008 model will also get more standard safety features, including Ford's AdvanceTrac stability-control system.
