Global News: Ford wins two Top Gear awards
The Ford Focus RS, the fastest and the most powerful front-wheel-drive Ford ever produced in Europe, has been selected as "Muscle Car of the Year" by BBC Top Gear magazine, while Ford's lowest carbon emitting model, the 98g CO2/km Ford Fiesta ECOnetic is Top Gear's "Green Car of the Year".
In assessing the awards, the BBC Top Gear team took into account all aspects of the vehicles. Editor, Conor McNicholas, said: "The Focus RS is nothing short of a hero. Amazing engineering in a car with huge road-presence, the RS is both massive fun and a connoisseur's choice. It’s a bargain too."
Commenting on the Green Car of the Year award, he said: "We’re hugely impressed with the Fiesta ECOnetic. In an era where too many think going green means having a fun-lobotomy, this Ford matches spritely on road dynamics with fabulous fuel economy. There really is no compromise. Make them all like this!"
On hearing the news, Nigel Sharp, Ford of Britain's managing director, said: "We are delighted to have Ford cars recognised in two completely different categories. It confirms our technical capability and the strength in-depth of Ford's fresh and exciting model range."
Unfortunately, Ford has no intention of introducing either of the award winning models to Singapore.
