Default Have No Fear The XR-7 Is Here.
Ford has planned a new car, there was the XR5,XR6 and XR8 and so they thought there was room for an XR7....

It has fat rear wheels for traction equal to a GT-R.

A lot of weight has been shredded quite a lot from the original style of the XR6's and XR8's

Same seating design as a Mc-Larren F1.

All new revolutionary steering design.

An unbelievable turning circle.

Here's the pictures.

I realize I might cop some flak, but seen this yesterday and thought it was worthy of a little joke.

I do see a few of them around, just a tad hard to spot if they don't have the strips as they just look like every other Fiesta.

Wonder if the competition will have to slash their prices.
Oh they just get worse don't they, sorry about that.

That looks like a GT-E with a 427FE (although it doesn't have the argent coloured front pan). Yes Mercury had a GT-E before FPV

An Eliminator for your viewing pleasure




.... and an XR7 convertible with 428
