I believe the name is Me-Kur canais (sic, ugh) but I do have to say that
this thing is a beast in sheeps clothing. First of all this car was designed
with the Autobahn in mind, so the suspension is firm to stiff with no
noticable roll and sticky tires. But the wild part is that it has a 2.6 6 in
it, and cranks out 245 hp. This gives it a top end of about 130-134 mph.
Ford is retooling it so that it takes a turbo-4 in america, but I think you
can get it with the six in it though. Check out you ford and mercury dealers
for the facts/pricing/availability.

Wow!!  A 156 CID six banger!  245 HP!  Oh my God, I can't conceive of
such horsepower!!  I sure hope I don't get challenged to a race
when I'm cruising around in my '66 Corvette with open chambered 427 L-88
engine.  I tremble at the very thought!
