That is a wet dream! What a car! Although looking at how far the engine is set back, you could nearly use the valve cover as an arm rest in the cabin!!

[MAztinA 323]

that thing is loaded!! wheres the engine btw?!?!

[boostedbatman]

Way to make a hairdressers car into something a man could be seen driving
hahahahaha
Actually the focus is probably my favourite small car and it just got better

[Melbastina]

You'd just have to remove all the decals and take that out to show the boys in commonwhores a thing or two on Friday evenings...

Nice, I wonder how much they want - it's possible to maybe recoup part of the cost selling the carbon parts made from the mounds ;)

I saw a video of a normal XR5 the other night. The duratech 2.5 5cyl sounds really nice and ballsy compared to a regular 4cyl. Haidressing or not, you'd buy one just for the sound! Oh, they handle pretty nice too. :)

i was going to say something about weight distribution...until i saw that pics!

that's pretty cool.

[platypus]

gav, on a side note, uneven cylinder distribution is the smart way to make more power for less work (ie fuel)... like the charade 3cyl, the volvo 5 cyl and of course the ford 5 cyl...
just misunderstood that they perform like they have an extra cyl

and that car is damn cute! i'd love to see that thing pulled over for defects!! cops would lose their minds!!

[Rupewrecht]

the volvo 5 cyl and of course the ford 5 cyl...

Same engine.

Focus, Ovlov S40 and the Mazda3 all share the same platform

Same engine.

Focus, Ovlov S40 and the Mazda3 all share the same platform
i thought it was the X40... and if bad memory serves right didn't the freelander share that platform too?

[skippy]

Yeah where the hell is the bloody engine??????

Being rwd it should be north south so where the bloddy hell is it???
its a 4litre turbo no??? ie should be a bigole chuck a metal. not that little red thing unless it goes past the drivers seat.

[Rupewrecht]

engine = the red cam cover in the engine bay pic. the drivers seat is mounted a fair way back. If you have a look in the first pic, the drivers head is well behind the B pillar.

It'd be weird being so far away from the windscreen, i think.

[Astro Boy]

and if bad memory serves right didn't the freelander share that platform too?
Yep...

[skippy]

ahhhhhh, slow nod.

yeah would be werid the front pillars would get into view alot, but I suppose being further away they appear thinner,
but yeah I'll still have one,
