Almoayyed Motors - the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury importer-dealer in Bahrain - has introduced the all-new 2008 Five Hundred during a ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

The new model boasts of an array of features that make it distinctive and provide quiet, fast and safe driving. Highlights include marked exterior styling, great powertrain, an all-wheel-drive system, standard safety features and structural advancements to further enhance crash protection.

"Customers will find the 2008 Five Hundred delivers what they are looking for, including a strong design, high-quality interior, power and performance, must-have features like MP3 audio input jack and a great safety reputation. We are very proud to bring this outstanding sedan in Bahrain," said Mohammed Mehio, national sales manager for Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Yemen.

The 2008 Five Hundred features Ford's 3.5-litre Duratec V-6 that delivers 263 NET horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to the same smooth shifting, six-speed automatic transmission as the new Ford Edge. Five Hundred is available in SEL and Limited trims, and is built at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant.
