You're not impressed with 32 EXTRA GOD DAMN HORSIES???

lol.

I thought the actual Cosworth guys sold the brand name so it's just another tuning house now?

And wow, an extra 30bhp? That's like TWO screw mods worth :eek:

Wow what a power upgrade, that must have taken a boot full of e-bay resistors!

Didn't Ford sell Cosworth on?
I thought one of the Malaysian manufacturers bought them, Proton maybe?

300bhp and a 0-60 "sprint" of 8 seconds, does it weigh the same as a small container ship?

Also 75k :rolleyes:

Not exactly impressive is it,i wonder if it can do that on wet grass like the Overfinch though?

That front bumper is absolutely awful!

I think they're hoping this car will sell purely due to the Cosworth association.
Overfinch actually had to do the unusual task of redically improving the car.

I wonder if ground clearance is an optional extra then?

I must admit i get a bit confused about who has sold what, bought what, broken down and sold off bits of the other, etc when it comes to car brands.

Was looking at a '57 mondeo estate the other day (front end tap had mullered the rad & intercooler) and the door crease looked very BMW like, "umm, who owns who this week?"
