The Ford Puma is a small sports coupé that was produced by Ford Europe from 1997 to 2001. The Puma was built exclusively at Ford's Niehl plant in Cologne, Germany. The cost for a new Puma in the United Kingdom from a dealer was between £12,280 and £22,945, depending on the accessories, styling, and model chosen. ==Technical details== All Pumas are front-engined, front-wheel-drive, three-door coupés with four seats. They came with alloy wheels as standard, (although the Ford Racing Puma was equipped with alloy wheels), with front disc and rear drum brakes. The car was based on the Mark 4 Ford Fiesta, with new engines (codeveloped with Yamaha), a new body, stiffer suspension, and close-ratio gearbox, among other changes. The Puma was available with four engine options: 1.4-litre (1997-2000), 1.6-litre (2000-2001), 1.7-litre VCT, and the Tickford-tuned 1.7-litre VCT which was only used in the Ford Racing Puma, each of which used Ford's 16-v Sigma engines branded as Zetec-SE. Additionally, the 1.7-litre engines used Nikasil cylinder plating, which required a specific grade of oil (5W30 semisynthetic) to minimise mechanical wear. All 1.7-litre-engined Pumas were equipped with low-speed traction control and antilock brakes. The antilock braking system was optional in the 1.4-litre Puma. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ford Puma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
