I hate to be the wet blanket here, but Ford SVO (SVTâ??s parent division) is in disarray (that's probably why John Colletti quit) and they have already announced that the SVT Focus will not be replaced. In addition the SVT Lighting has been cancelled and just before Christmas the SVT Cobra was put on â??temporaryâ? hold. So if you want a hot rod 500 youâ??re going to have to buy a Volvo S60R (same platform) or build one yourself.
