Roush Europe Launches the Ford GT based 600RE

Ford might have finished the GT's career but that doesn’t seem to bother the tuning-world. So after the Edo Competition GT, Roush Europe came out with a super-limited edition of Ford’s retro-looking supercar, available in just 10 units from “Avro Motor Cars” based at the historic Brooklands site in Surrey. Dubbed 600RE, Roush’s black-beauty boasts a number of features including an engine upgrade raising power and torque (though Roush doesn’t give any figures) along with a few subtle visual improvements like the sexy black powder coated rims. –Press Release after the jump
