The engine is a 3.0 straight 6 biturbo, 345 hp and 400 Nm, so performance will be pretty good

I like it

I don't like it's looks. and the wheels are horrible :vamp:

I don`t like it.Front is OK,but the back is terrible.But it is a concept and therefore it will change if it gets green light for production.

I don't like its front either, it has that futuristic look though. Just noticed some similarity between this concept and the Jaguar R-D6... wonder if they're working on something...

I like this car. The headlights could be better, but the sides and the rear are fantastic IMO. It reminds me of the Reliant Scimitar. But I'm with alondahan on the wheels, they're terrible.

It looks better than the Jag, more focussed and not as cluttered as the Jag. When Ford is building a more attractive car than Jaguar, doesn't that ring a bell at Jag headquarters?

ford owns jag that would explane the simularitys. on top of that it also looks like an rx-8 which is a mazda and mazda is owned by you guessed it ford ! and yes that car looks like total butt-crack. the rims and nasty along with its overall shape. this retro style crap is terrible. i hate the look i like some older cars in fact quite a few , none look anything like what some 24 year old college prick working in a desgin department says retro cars looked like grr. but on the other hand a twin turbo inline six is always a good thing. but knowing ford they will make it fwd or something to spoil it course they already have it in a nasty body.

But then again, the Capri already had kind of a chopped off ass before.

I must say I like the general shape, but some details will still have to be worked on. Which I'm sure will hapen. The differences between a concept and a production car are always huge. I just hope this car will bring what Jeremy Clarkson expects from Ford. An exciting, affordable boy racer car. Successor to the Escort Cosworth???

The engine of course doesn't sound that affordable
