France will be receiving 50 of each, Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS, and Mustang coupes in special 50th Anniversary packages. Also will come in a Black Mica paint with gray racing stripes in tribute to the GT40 MKII.

I'm not really a fan of the paint scheme, but hey, for a tribute vehicle.. I can deal with it !

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the GT40’s historic 1-2-3 sweep of the 24h of Le Mans race in 1966, Ford released a limited series of its sportiest models in France. These include the Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS and Mustang coupe, each of which will be produced in 50 units exclusively for France.

And what a car the GT40 was. A fitting tribute to Fords outstanding win. Like you I am not a fan of the paint scheme, but I can live with it.

Got to love how it sounds but there's really nothing like a flat plane V8, much like what ferrari has, those are my favorite.

Sadly we don't have many V8s in the UK, but I have to own up to opening the window when ever a Ferrari zips passed. It's just a petrol heads dream.☺

That is most definitely our version of a symphony ! Pure music to our ears

The 50th anniversary Focus Rs actually looks better in the rendering than it does in real life.

Here is the RS:

And here is what I think is the 50th anniversary version racing the Civic Type-R:

Too bad it's only in France. Would've liked to have my hands on a collector item

It's okay though, the regular Focus RS will still suffice for me. Can't wait to take it out and run some Civic type Rs down the track

Who knows, you might eventually see it somewhere else in the world. I'm sure there's someone in the Middle East that wouldn't mind paying a serious premium just to have it.
