[capnsavem]

yeah.. we get all the crappy, B-team, junior varsity Fords.

 

[MikeBlueP5]

i believe they are hand produced in australia. I at least know the engines are.

how so, don't rangers come in a 4 litre 6 as well as jeeps?

4.0l inline 6 doesn't sound wrong to me... sounds like it would be a blast to drive... the last inline 6 i drove was my co-workers M3... apples to oranges i know (bmw-ford euro) but inline 6 with a ictc would be fun as hell....

that's exactly the point.. i do know 4l v6 engiens but i never saw them built into any normal street cars, just the bully offroad beasts

 

[tsunami]

its an inline not a V... though i still don't see why it can't be a street car...

This car looks even better in person. I saw tons of these when I went to Australia for my vacation.

Aussie bastards.

 

[kickniteasy]

the turbo version has about 330 horses, the non-turboed is only getting about 230 or so.....looked it up and did some conversions, I'm not impressed with those numbers from such a big ass engine, thing has to weigh a ton....beats a taurus though =)

Shame Ford dosnt make Fords like that in the US, but the F.P.V in AU are crazy!

 

[2brag]

yeah very tough cars, www.ford.com.au has more details and yeah a 4l 6cyl isnt uncommon over here, i mean the whole Holden range V6's are 3.6L
