SUMMARY
Unveiled in 1999 as the Puma ST160 Concept prior to limited production (500) as the Racing Puma, this is one Performance Ford that seems to have remained under the radar.
DESCRIPTION
- The strictly limited production run was initially pencilled at 1,000 units, with 500 destined for the German market, and 500 for the UK, but in the end, only the 500 destined for the UK-market were produced and sold.
- Very expensive at the time, all FRPs were finished in Ford Imperial Blue with an interior that featured bespoke Sparco seats in blue Alcantara
- The characteristic bodywork included wider aluminium front and rear wings, a deeper and wider front bumper and an aerodynamic front-splitter
- In common with other Ford low-volume models like the RS200, the upgrades were the responsibility of Tickford in Daventry
- It was fitted with 17" Speedline alloy wheels to house the rather large Alcon brakes which could deliver more than 1.1g of braking in the dry and the late Richard Parry-Jones was responsible for the revised geometry
- FRPs were powered by a modified version of the 1.7 Zetec-SE engine pushing out 153bhp with high lift camshafts, revised inlet manifold, exhaust and ECU. Co-developed with Yamaha, each engine carries the limited-edition number on the inlet manifold
- The super example on offer here, #0179 has covered just over 103,000 miles and has patently been well cared for
