The new T-Series from Ford pushes the limits in every single parameter of performance. The powerplant: a 21st century evolution of the legendary Windsor V8. Stroked to push out 250 kilowatts of seemingly endless thrust with 500 Newton metres of torque. Each of these mechanical masterpieces is hand-built and every engine is engraved with the name of the artisan who brought it to life. But what is power without control? The T-Series sports handling package incorporates fully independent front and rear double wishbone suspension. Massive 18 inch unique alloys with Dunlop rubber and optional Brembo brakes give prodigious grip and braking performance. Inside, the driver and occupants are treated to sports performance seating with standard leather trim. It’s all carefully designed to put a smug, superior grin on your face. And why not? After all, you do own the road.   Engine (click here to see large picture)       High performance 5.6 litre V8 Power : 250kW @ 5250rpm       Torque: 500Nm @ 4250rpm               Unique Engine Modifications for the 250kw engine       Nodular iron crankshaft       Lightweight piston with floating pin       Large diameter inlet duct       Billet conrods       82mm progressive cam throttle body       Ceramic coated exhaust manifolds       Unique Tickford camshafts       Unique Tickford valves       Unique Tickford engine cover               Transmission (click here to see large picture)       Heavy Duty Tremec (TR-3650) 5 speed manual transmission Automatic transmission with 'Adaptive' shift Adaptive shift with Electronic Sports Shift (ESS)         Handling       18" x 8" 'Azzurro' multispoke alloy wheels 18" x 8" unique Tickford 5 spoke alloy wheels Dunlop SP9000 high performance tyres – P245/40 ZR18 Koni 82 series shock absorbers Fully independent double wishbone front sports suspension Fully independent double wishbone rear sports suspension (IRS)         Brakes (click here to see large picture)       T-Series brake package - 329mm grooved front discs with 287mm grooved rear discs with black calipers and Tickford logo T-Series brake package - 329mm grooved front discs with 287mm grooved rear discs with red calipers and Tickford logo Brembo brake package - 355mm front discs with 330mm rear discs with 4 piston calipers Bosch 3 channel, 4 wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)         Exterior (click here to see large picture)       New front fascia incorporating black mesh grille featuring Tickford wings, fog lamps and black surround headlamps.
