(July 2008) Ford Tempo Manufacturer Ford Motor Company Also called Mercury Topaz Production 1984–1994 Assembly Claycomo, Missouri, United States[1] Oakville, Ontario, Canada Predecessor Ford Fairmont Successor Ford Contour Class Compact Layout Front engine, front-wheel drive / four-wheel drive Platform Ford CE14 platform Designer Jack Telnack The Ford Tempo is a four-door coupe/sedan car model that was produced by Ford Motor Company for model years 1984 to 1994. It was a downsized successor to the boxy Ford Fairmont that introduced "jellybean" styling,[2] and was replaced in 1994 by the "world car platform" Ford Contour. The Tempo was part of a rejuvenation by Ford to offer more environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and more modern styled models to compete with the imports. While the car sold well, its innovation and aerodynamic design paved the way for the even more groundbreaking Ford Taurus. Its twin, the Mercury Topaz, is a slightly upscale variant of the Tempo sold through Ford's Lincoln-Mercury division.

The new design philosophy rested in part due to aging vehicle platforms, and two oil embargoes which led to a rise in more fuel-efficient import vehicle sales. Taking note of this, Ford set out to revolutionize the automotive industry, and would later lay the groundwork for three revolutionary vehicles: The 1983 Thunderbird (and its counterpart the Mercury Cougar), the 1984 Tempo, and a car to be released in 1986, the Taurus. The Tempo would be based on a stretched version of the front wheel drive Ford CE14 platform used on the Ford Escort, but with a radical new body. In December 1978, wind tunnel testing began on the Tempo, with more than 450 hours of testing resulting in more than 950 different design changes. As part of these changes, the Tempo and Topaz both featured a 60° windshield, matching that of the new Thunderbird and Cougar. Also new were the aircraft-inspired door frames, which originally appeared on the Thunderbird/Cougar. These door frames wrapped up over the edge of the roof, improved sealing, allowed for hidden drip rails, and cleaned up the A-pillar area of the car significantly. The rear track was also widened, creating more aerodynamic efficiency. The front grille was laid back more and the leading edge of the hood was tuned for aerodynamic cleanliness. Wheels were pushed out to the edges of the body, decreasing areas where air turbulence would be created. The rear of the cars were treated to just as many changes. The rear window was laid down at 60 degrees as well, and the trunk lid was raised higher than the side windows. This allowed the air to flow off the car more smoothly, and allowed for greater fuel efficiency. From the side view, this raised trunk created a wedge look to the car which was especially prominent on the two-door coupe versions. All of these changes created a Coefficient of drag of .36 for the 2-door car (.37 for the 4-door), which was equal to the Cd of the new "Aero" Ford Thunderbird. The final design of the cars was reached so that the car looked good on every trim level, not just the top-of-the-line as some of the competition had done. When the Tempo was released in 1983 as a 1984 model, it became an instant hit, with more than 107,000 two-door models and more than 295,000 four-door models being sold in the first year alone. Initial advertising featured a Tempo sedan performing a loop on a stunt track. The commercials touted the Tempo as being "America's all new aerodynamic sedan" and listed features such as "the world's most advanced automotive computer" that claimed to have the ability to monitor up to seven vital engine functions, and noted the interior to be roomier in the rear seat than a Mercedes-Benz 300D. Other ads featured the slogan "Pick up the Tempo of your life!"

Both the front windshield and rear window were set at 60° angles, with the trunk of the car being placed higher than the side windows to allow for greater fuel efficiency and air flow. On the Tempo, a rear quarter window was present while the Topaz received a more formal C-pillar arrangement minus the window. The front of the car featured a set of two sealed-beam halogen headlamps recessed in chrome "buckets" and the grille in between the headlights featured four horizontally thin rails each swept back to allow for greater air flow into the engine compartment and over the hood. The Tempo shared much of its design language with the European Ford Sierra, launched one year prior. Standard on the first generation Tempo was a new 2.3 L HSC inline four-cylinder gasoline engine with a one-barrel carburetor, with an optional Mazda-built four-cylinder diesel engine. Mated to either of these engines were the choice of a four-speed IB4 or five-speed MTX-III manual transmission (which was the standard, and only option for the diesel engine variant), or the standard 3-speed FLC automatic with a floor-mounted shift lever. The instrument panel featured a new, easier to read gauge layout, with all switches and controls placed within easy reach of the driver. In 1985, the Tempo became the first production sedan to feature a driver's side airbag.[3] 1986–1987 Ford Tempo sedan In 1986, the Tempo and the Topaz saw several moderate design changes which coincided with the release of the then-new and revolutionary 1986 Taurus. While generally the same car, the front and rear end styling was where the changes were most evident. The standard rectangular sealed-beam halogen headlamps were replaced with a new, plastic composite design which only required replacement of the bulb itself. These new headlights were flush-mounted to match the redesigned front corner lights and a freshly restyled grille, which also closely matched that of the Taurus (the Topaz received a pseudo-lightbar grille styled after the Sable). For the rear end, the trunk and taillights were slightly restyled, giving the car a sharper look. Replacing the carburetor on the 2.3 L four-cylinder engine was a new Central Fuel Injection (CFI) system (the carbureted version was still available in Canada until 1987). New was an optional "LX" luxury trim, and a sportier GLS, which was a performance-geared version featuring a performance-tuned HSO variant of the existing 2.3 L engine and a 5-speed MTX-III manual transmission. The GLS also featured a more defined ground effects package over the previous GLX offering. Other changes and improvements included the addition of automatically-retracting front seatbelt shoulder straps, and the addition of a new all-wheel drive model. The Tempo AWD included special badging, interior badges and (most notable) a three-inch-wide chrome strip running from front wheel to rear wheel, that read Tempo AWD (with 'All Wheel Drive' under the larger AWD writing). Trim levels for the first generation Tempo are as follows: L (entry level model) GL (mid-level model) LX (introduced in 1986 as the luxury model, replacing the GLX) GLX (1984 and 1985 only) From 1986 to 1987, there was also the Sport GL, which included unique interior and exterior styling cues, an HSO (High Specific Output) version of the 2.3L HSC engine (slightly more power), alloy wheels, and a quicker gear ratio on for the 5-speed manual transaxle. [edit] 1988 & 1992 Coupe Facelifts For 1988, Ford redesigned the Tempo, however leaving the rear body of the 2-door very similar to the previous model (with only updated tail lamps and rear bumpers that more closely resembled the sedan). The last facelift occurred in 1992. 1988–1991 Ford Tempo coupe 1992–1994 Ford Tempo coupe [edit] Second generation Second generation Production 1988–1994 Body style(s) 4-door sedan Engine(s) 2.3 L HSC I4 2.3 L HSO I4 3.0 L Vulcan V6 Transmission(s) 5-speed MTX-III manual 5-speed MTX-IV manual 3-speed ATX/FLC automatic Wheelbase 99.9 in (2537 mm) Length 177.0 in (4496 mm) Width 68.3 in (1735 mm) Height 52.9 in (1344 mm) Curb weight 2723 lb (1235 kg) Related Ford Escort Ford EXP Mercury Topaz The second generation Tempo, released in 1988, saw several major design changes which brought out an even more similar look to the Taurus (esp. the door handles - four door only). On the front end of the car, a completely restyled grille featured three thin horizontal chrome bands with a Ford oval in the center, with two stylish composite flush-mounted rectangular headlamps with restyled front turn signal housings on either side. On the Tempo GLS, this chrome grill was blacked out, and 4-door models received a blacked-out "D" pillar. For the rear, the taillights received a major rework on the four door model, and were now completely flush-mounted. A restyled rear quarter window was designed to match and blend evenly with the completely restyled rear door trim. The interior of both cars saw a brand new instrument panel design, with a central gauge cluster (now with a standard engine temp gauge), and more ergonomic driver controls. Fan and windshield wiper controls were now mounted on rotary-style switches on either side of the instrument panel, and the HVAC controls received a new push-button control layout. Other changes included reworked interior door panels. On Tempo LX and AWD, the interior received chrome and wood trim on the dashboard and doors. In 1991 (the last year of the 1988 restyled look) saw the discontinuation of the all wheel drive model Tempo, as well as the now Canadian market exclusive entry level model Tempo L. 1992 saw a minor redesign. The Tempo gained body color side trim to replace the black and chrome trim, as well as fully-body color bumpers. The three bar chrome grill was also replaced by a new, body colored monochromatic grill. In 1992 a new engine, a 3.0L Vulcan V6, was introduced as optional on the GL and LX, and standard on the GLS 1992. 1992 would be the last year of the GLS, as it was discontinued (along with its Mercury Topaz counterparts) in 1993. This left Tempo with only two trim level options, GL and LX. 1994 was the last model year for the Ford Tempo (and Mercury Topaz). Production halted in the first quarter of 1994. Trim levels for the second generation Ford Tempo are as follows: L (entry level model, discontinued in 1991) GL (mid-level model) AWD (advertised by Ford as a separate trim level, AWD was advertised as GL with LX options. Discontinued in 1991) LX (luxury model, only available as a four door sedan) GLS (replaced Sport GL as the performance oriented model, discontinued in 1992) [edit] End of production In 1993, officials within Ford Motor Company began talking about killing off the Tempo. While highly innovative in its early years, and even though it was a strong seller for nearly its entire lifetime, by the early 1990s the Tempo and the Topaz were seen as an aging platform. It was also to be the last year for the 2.3 L HSC engine, which was built by Ford specifically for the Tempo (its replacement was the 2.0 L Zetec engine). Also, it was to be the last year for the FLC automatic transaxle, which had spent its entire production life with the Tempo and Topaz, and was then seen as being severely outdated as 4 speed automatic transmissions were being developed. With all of these factors, Ford pulled the plug on the Tempo, and in March 1994, the last one rolled off the assembly line. It was succeeded by the Contour, a derivative of the European Ford Mondeo. It came with a jump in price: the most expensive 1994 Tempo (a loaded LX sedan with a V6) was about US$12,900 ($16,500 in 2005 dollars), while a base model 1995 Contour (GL with four-cylinder engine and manual transmission) was $13,990.[citation needed] [edit] Engines 2.0 L Mazda RF diesel I4, 52 hp (optional 1984-1986 GL) 2.3 L HSC I4, 86 hp-98 hp (73 kW) and 125 ft·lbf (168 N·m) L/GL/LX 2.3 L HSO I4, 100 hp (75 kW) and 135 ft·lbf (183 N·m) GLX/GLS/AWD (1985–91) 3.0 L (2982 cc) Vulcan V6, 140 hp (97 kW) and 160 ft·lbf (203 N·m) (1992-1994 optional on GL and LX, standard on GLS, in 1994 was re-rated at 155 hp) [edit] Production figures The Ford Tempo was a massive sales success for Ford. It was one of the top ten best selling cars in the US, usually in the top five, during its entire production. In 1984, Ford sold a total of 531,468 examples of the Tempo and Topaz,[4] nearly 100,000 more units than the best-selling Toyota Camry (2006) of today. Below is a list of annual model year production figures for the Tempo.[5] 1984: 402,214 1985: 339,087 1986: 277,671 1987: 282,632 1988: 313,262 1989: 240,904 1990: 218,426 1991: 185,845 1992: 207,340 1993: 154,762 1994: 110,399 Total: 2,732,542 [edit] References ^ "Facilities | Ford Motor Company Newsroom".

Overview Specification Further Info The Diplomatic Protection Group (DPG) is a separate department of the Metropolitan Police who serve the diplomatic community around London. The 2 litre Sierra Sapphire was popular with the DPG as it offered a good turn of speed; was not too big to navigate London’s tight streets and could comfortably accommodate four adults. Ostentatious luxuries such as alloy wheels were eschewed in favour of practical extras like the twin matt black ‘Mickey Mouse’ roof lights and helicopter identification livery on the roof. All DPG group cars were finished in bright red to differentiate them from other Police vehicles and allow recognition by those they served.
