Not a new pic thats a Ford photoshop thats been around since around Feb/March of this year, especially when you see the interior pics

The car does not actually exist as a car that will actually be built at this stage its still a car Ford say they may build for late 2009. AFAIK any Ford press release re the actual car & whether it will be built or info re rough spec, etc, is not due until the London Motorshow in a few months time

If it does come about though the road tax for emisions on that should be fun by 2009 once you include the "showroom" tax, "green" tax, etc

Ł10 a gallon and stupid road tax is going to make Ford think twice, unless its a 200bhp diesel

It's 100% alive, and finished.

As mentioned, a few people are going to a special sneak preview soon!

I do agree that the road tax and petrol situation might put some people off, but fast cars of this type will all fall into the same category (EVO, Scooby etc).

Yup, it'll be there. They've got one that will do a press launch, then the Motorshow tour. But I've been reliably informed that there will be just that one for now.

I am not saying it is if you read my post, I am saying that would be needed to keep up with the evo breed.

I know nothing about this car mate.
