I dont think this has been covered before but was a good topic of conversation earlier today with some mates at the pub even if it has been covered!
Cars they should have built:
1. Escort Cosworth Carbriolet

 

Great way to make a fairly lardy and moderately well handling car which is well respected into a very lardy poor handling car that everyone laughs at.

Im glad they didnt make that one personally!



Ford should have made the escort cosworth actually a car with modern technology, not just chopped up a shitty old sierra and put it in a pretty dress.


So on my list I would have:
An escort cosworth that was up to date with technology (evos and scoobies and skylines etc) at time of release

 

viper engined e36 bmw !!!


a porsche GT3RS i can actually afford and made it turbo charged

 

Someone had a go!

 

Space framed Series 2 with a fucking good engine in, As Im having trouble making my mind up

 

It is a pretty dress though!

 

VERY pretty dress mate, the styling is perfect
Just a shame it didnt have technology under it which did it justice like an P reg evo or whatever does have.

 

Mk 2 xr2 turbo

 

rear wheel drive mk3/mk4 escorts

new shape focus's made by ford

400bhp 4x4 cosworth focus's aswell

 

a 'muscle' car, in any form. a focus with a v6

 

i say a rs turbo convertable, but only co so many people have done it which shows it would of worked well.

most definitly a 4wd focus rs or cosworth

a quicker fiesta. summit along the lines of a fiesta st but turbo'd

 

A Ford capri that didn't require a couple of bags of ballast in the boot to enable it to go round corners


Mk 2 Granada with a V8 power unit


Luciano

 

TVR cerbera without it's self combusting ability, with an LS1 or LS2 v8 in

 

Fords only?

Sierra XR8s for the UK market.

The RS1700T.

24V V6 RWD Escort Mk5 (ie like that prototype they made)

Ford Cougars and Mondeos to be RWD (id soooo have a RWD ST220 ).

Proper Impreza/Evo competing Mk1 Focus.

Sooo many cars that would be legends, but instead, are pooh

 

or Steve Scotts original Focus RWD cossie - That is my fave car of all time

 

actually a RWD escort cossie,,,,,, simple enough idea and you be MOST fun

 

Has to be a 4x4 300 odd horse Focus of some description.

Compete with evo's an the like.

 

A proper Mondeo rwd car not really a cosworth as they done that in the 80's and sort of 90's but something that was a genuine flagship

 

would be nice to have a rwd or 4wd mondeo

even better if they are powered by the noble unit

 

There.. was one built!

 

The MK6 Fiesta RS.

that looks fooking lovly

 

Mini turbo - Not the ERA either

 

There's someone on here who has a Escort Cosworth cabby with the engine running gear the lot

 

Seconded. Ford should of made the St200 RWD . That would of been sooo much better.

 

the renault 5 turbo. but instead of that shit 1.4 head gasket popper they shouldve put the 1.7 turbo in it

 

205 mi16

 

Focus Cosworth

 

Cossie Transit

 

They should have made
a car that dont lose the company millons

THEN WE MIGHT HAVE THE RS FOCUS 4x4

 

Fuck that and save all of us from xrtwo.com spending shit loads of money, time and skinned knuckles building one ...... actually ....... Ford.... you bastards

 

LOL, first decent answer!


What they shoudl have made is the focus as efficiently as toyota made the corrolla!

 

Lotus Twin Cam Powered Anglia would have been nice.....

 

Ford did make a 4x4 Mondeo

2.0 Si http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A611001

Should've made a Mondeo Cosworth imo as well as the Escort.

 

they did in france. the t16!turbo'd too.
shame us brits didnt get it then i wouldnt have had to build one!

 

Fuck yeah

 

Im fairly sure they only did the 309 mi16 and never the 205 even on the continent.

The only turbo 205 was the 8v TT one and the group b ones (which were mid engined and sold here too IIRC)

 

bang on

im glad they never made the escort cosworth convertible... the ones in the picture look chavved up n cheap

 

A RWD Turbocharged ford probe.

I thought they were gorgeous cars!

 

seriously ford should have in there range at the mo,

1.4 turbo KA 100bhp

1.6 turbo fiesta 150bhp

1.8/2.0 focus 200bhp

all the above ready for tuning

the new shape mondeo rwd and the 3.0 v6 tho twin turbo'd around 300 bhp mark
