The concept S, although Ford claimed it was an AWD 3L, underneath, it was nothing but a stock FWD 2.5.

Where did you get that information? The owner of the concept vehicle states that it is a fully working concept with the 3.0L AWD integrated.

As I mentioned there are 2 cars referred to as 'Cougar S'. One is the 2.5l SVT you mention, which was nothing to do with the Cougar S concept and is often confused (obviously). It is just a car Ford nearly made, and nearly called 'Cougar S'. The other is the Cougar S concept, which was also never made! But the two are quite different, and neither was made (apart from in my driveway )

... i bet the forced induction guys are busting at the guts to find out more about the transmission on that !! ..G.

Actual photos of the concept's engine bay.
Ford's not going to spend the money and time to engineer an AWD system for *ONE* concept car.

Be interested to see your photos. I have some here direct from the owner. I doubt he'd lie when asking $1.3m for it.

..don't suppose they include the AWD transmission ? Are you gonna post the pictures ? ..G.

[ov3n]

dont know if I still have them.. this was several years ago when the car was for sale. the engine bay was nothing but a stock 2.5L

Um Ford did not design an AWD system for a concept, they designed it for the AWD Mondeo which the system is also in the Jag X type. No doubt in my mind that the concept had the Mondeo AWD system in it.

Never said they designed it for a concept, only that it was in the concept... allegedly

Maybe there are more than one of those concepts in existance.. The pix I saw were just a stock 2.5L along with something that said "despite fords claims that this car has an AWD system, only its front wheels are driven" or some such.. I'll try to find the info.
