Default Ford goes feral with a 700Nm street racer concept

Anyone seen this monster?

I did a search & could find no mention of it.

Yeeeha: Turbo-boosted antics are the forte of DRIF6.
How else could it be with more than 700Nm of torque and 380kW driving though just the rear wheels? Even the brakes have been modified with rubber-melting action in mind.

By MARTON PETTENDY

FORD Performance Vehicles used its annual Family Open Day at the Melbourne HQ to unveil the most powerful creation it has ever produced: a wild 380kW/700Nm-plus incarnation of
its Typhoon sedan. FPV says the highly-modified, one-off show car was designed to tackle similar turbocharged performance cars that dominate
the increasingly popular motorsport discipline of “drifting”. Sadly, however, FPV has no plans to drift its hyper-Typhoon, dubbed DRIF6..................

I think this one has been covered in the Typhoon/XR6T forum... but there's a story on the DRIF6 at Web Wombat worth reading.

Hey mods, can you move this to the other thread if there is no picture, other wise close this down.

Damn, I did a search and nothing came up.
