Unfortunately, NOT one of the 1 of 23 heralded new offerings from Ford Performance. But why not - a man's van ! :biggrin

What a sound. If the tail pipes weren't in the way, be an awesome tow rig for an RS200

Not long ago I wanted to be the Director of Marketing for Ford Performance, but some internal guy came along and took the job. Now after watching the videos, I think Ford EU is the place to be. :wink

An example of fine Ammurican engineering and sheetmetal excess. Unmolested and original in presentation.

You are not selling it - are you? DBK and I might like to borrow it for 2016 duty at LeMans - GT Forum Team Transporter. Thinking that we might retrofit it with a period proper 2nd gen EcoBoost race motor. What better way to formally convey the return of Ford to France.

Dave, that said, we have a year.

Think we can get FP/SVT to help us refresh this baby to global RS spec for LeMans duty?? I'm sure there's an EcoBoost or two lying around Dearborn looking for a home. ;-))

A Ford Racing 302 would fit in it nicely -

Ralphie-

I'm fairly certain that this mod will decrease your fuel mileage and increase your carbon footprint. ;-))

Probably a few here have had the opportunity to ride with Sabine around Nurburgring. She piloted my Volvo around the 'Ring then turned it over to me with some sort of expectation of 'now, show me how it's done. If you get the chance, do it, you won't ever forget it.
