If you have ever considered doing performance upgrades to your Ford vehicle, one service provider stands out above the rest. We are, of course, eluding to the Performance Centre. The company was established to carry out performance upgrades to Ford vehicles while maintaining OEM standards.
Thus, if you want to fit a performance part or a full kit to your vehicle, the Performance Centre will be able to do so without the modifications voiding the vehicle warranty. Customers also can choose from a variety of notorious performance parts manufacturers ranging from Ford Performance Parts, Roush and RTR or rather Road to Race.
New facilities
The Performance Centre in Gauteng was first located in a business park in Centurion Gauteng, however, has recently moved its operations to the Lazarus Ford premises at 400 West Avenue, Centurion, Gauteng. The new venue not only allows more customers to witness the beautiful creations coming from the workshop but also smooths out the process of ordering a vehicle in a particular performance spec directly from Lazarus Ford.
65 years of Lazarus Motor Company
The Lazarus Motor Company was first established in 1957, however, in 1961, the business was awarded a Ford franchise and has since grown from strength to strength, even conquering the challenges faced by the automotive industry recently. The Lazarus family and Motor Company have always been ambassadors for the Ford brand and as a result, had the opportunity of collecting some of the rarest in the American automaker's portfolio.
The most recent addition to the collection is a 2020 Ford GT which is the only example in South Africa, and one of around 2 examples on the continent. The Ford GT is powered by a 3.5-litre, twin-turbocharged, V6 capable of 492 kW and 746 Nm of torque. With the power sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the model will complete the 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.0 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 347 km/h.
