There's only 200 or so ponies on tap here, but I love the way this build came together. Like Jerry said on the HP, the interior takes a "sharp turn at the corner of badass and too hardcore," and it's pretty awesome. Check out more pics and info here.

 

I still want to know the torque numbers....

 

This vehicle is based on the "Transit Custom" which is a front wheel drive platform in between the American Transit Connect and the big Transit. It is the size of a big minivan like the Chrysler/Dodge offerings and would have been the size I wanted.

I think Ford's using the names Transit, Transit Connect, and Transit Custom for 3 completely different vehicles is pretty silly and confusing.

I would have been most excited to see the Custom come to the US. Per the spec page, the top stock engine has 405 NM of torque which converts to 299 ft lbs...

What kind of price tag are we talking about here?

I haven't seen any on the street so is it not out or pricey?

 

If you look at my post above, Darin, it is NOT a US vehicle. It is based on the mid-sized "Transit Custom" that is between the Transit Connect and the big Transit. (Silly way to name 3 totally different vans IMO.) And it is a conversion job done by an English company, not by Ford. The Connect in the US is 4 cylinder only, and the big Transit is too huge to ever look like a performance vehicle.

This mid-sized Transit Custom is a diesel with a stick, which is nothing you would even find in the US, and even with mods, only makes 208 horsepower. It is about the size of a Grand Caravan/Honda Odyssey but taller I think.

This assumes that you are in the US....if you are the price doesn't matter because you can't get one.

Looking at it again, it is kind of fat and gaudy, and I actually like the looks of my Grand Caravan R/T...blacked out, nice wheels, but not a lot of body kit stuff all over it. The Grand Caravan would be nicer yet with AWD and a turbo but that ain't gonna happen either--but the Pentastar V6 does have 283 horsepower and my GC is really pretty quick as a result.
