The new car's suspension is based on the MacPherson strut system, a simpler system than that currently in use on the Ford Focus RS WRC, but as on the WRC car, the Fiesta uses Reiger shock absorbers. However, new FIA rules which ban ball bearings in the dampers meant that significant research was needed into reducing the friction losses.
It looks mint in that livery and the sound of the car is amazing!!!!!Quote:

I've counted two: PX58 AXF and PX59 AHG.
I know there are two (test) cars, Simmi. But I know only the 1st reg. plate.
M-Sport expecting to build 20 cars before March 2010 and a total of 50 cars in the first 12 months.
