Read some of the tech info and you'll realise just how much has changed.Just reading into the output figures power and torque up approx 10% but axle ratio down 10%which tells me that at the lights this will be no quicker than a BF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see where it will sit. Ford will be handing cars to magazines etc. in April, so we will see from those reports how this will effect the 0-100 figure.
