Street-legal Formula Ford under consideration - report


Formula Ford 04.9.2012




Could battle the Ariel Atom and BAC Mono


The Blue Oval is reportedly considering a street-legal Formula Ford to battle the Ariel Atom and BAC Mono.

EVO says a senior executive hinted at the possibility during the company's "Go Further" event where they introduced the 2013 Fiesta and Mondeo. The unnamed executive declined to go into specifics but said the model would cost "well under £100,000 ($160,080 / £124,990)" which would make it "a bargain next to the BAC Mono."

There's no word on when the model could be introduced, but a street-legal Formula Ford recently lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 22 seconds. It was equipped with a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that produced 205 PS (151 kW / 202 hp). This enabled the car to accelerate 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in less than four seconds and hit an estimated top speed of 255.5 km/h (158.8 mph).

Is this a real article? Head to head with the Ariel Atom and BAC Mono? I would bet that they don't sell 1000 cars a year combined. It hardly seems worth the effort.

That's true, but the Atom gets a lot of press, that could be what Ford is after.

Crappy idea. A two seater still has some use, even some space to put the weekend getaway necessities. What do you do with this? Other than buy it for your teenage son to show off on Saturday night?

Sorry but have tried but cannot make heads or tails of it! If you want to reopen another thread with a bit of cut and paste so we can get our heads around it?

Cheers
