I know it's not Ford, but 0-100kmh in 2.8 secs has got to be worth looking at!
Go to http://www.openwheelers.co.nz/newmodel/downloads.htm and download the Fifth Gear story(It will take some time, but worth it) Great story, great journalism, great footage and an insane sports car. Haven't looked at the Top Gear story yet, but will probably also be great. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to by a Tattslotto ticket.............

insane is the word - the whole focus of this thing is power to weight ratio

It used to come with a Rover engine. Now a Honda Civic type R, and now with a 300 bhp supercharged version. And at about A$60,000+ (NZ$67,000) for base model not in "dreamland" like most supercars.
Not road registerable in Oz (yet) but can be road registered in NZ

My apologies guys. There was a posting on this earlier in July, but I had missed it...although it was linking to another vid. I think the way the Fifth Gear segment was written and produced is fantastic
