Ford's new high-performance Mondeo

Ford’s ‘kinetic’ design theme has its fans and foes, but whatever one thinks of the theme in general, it does fit the Mondeo well. The newest member of the Mondeo family, the XR5 Turbo, even manages to come across as an aggressive, eager sedan. The forward stance and sleek profile combine to give the impression the car is yearning to sprint off the line.

Powered by the same 20-valve 2.5L Duratec five-cylinder turbocharged engine found in the Focus XR5 Turbo, the new Mondeo slots in alongside its XR brethren. Power peaks at 162kW (217hp) at 5,000rpm. Torque of 320Nm (236lb-ft) is available from an impressively low 1,500rpm. Read Article

WHAT?! That is not news! They launched the Mondeo over three months ago with that engine! A Volvo engine BTW!

It is one of those cars which only looks gorgeous in pictures and in top trim! Wait until you see a 1.6 in standard trim with hub-caps! Then it looks like a bloated Focus!

Ok, that's your opinion, but I, for one, happen to find the overall shape/detailing very handsome (same with the Focus)...

If you don't... Fine
