Ford unveils new 2012-spec Formula Ford car in Frankfurt
Ford has unveiled a bold new 2012-specification Formula Ford car to visitors at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new-generation Formula Ford cars will use a production-based 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost direct injection, turbocharged engine, limited to producing around 165 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque, and mated to a 6-speed sequential transmission with mechanical shift mechanism.
Ford’s global kinetic design philosophy is also echoed in the new-generation car, giving fans of the championship a style they can easily recognise.
The car features a tubular chassis, front and rear carbon crash structures, side intrusion panels, FIA specification head restraint system, wheel tethers and an FIA removable seat.
FIA compliance will allow the 2012 specification car to be applicable for Formula Ford championships around the globe, especially in emerging markets where alignment to FIA regulations is commonplace.
