FORD is to launch a road-going version of its Puma ST160 Puma revealed in concept form at this year's Geneva Motor Show in March.

The 150PS car powered by Ford's 1.7-litre Zetec SE engine will go into limited production and will be on sale in the UK late this year costing £23,000 on-the-road. The manufacturer says 1,000 Ford Racing Pumas are planned.
