So long, SVT.

Ford has announced it’s commitment to creating a true global performance division. The automaker has also announced that it already 12 vehicles on tap, which will be rolled out over the next few years through the year 2020 (GT500, anyone?)

This new group will absorb SVT, Ford Racing and Team RS

All of you SVT fans can consider this your Blue Oval revival… minus the name of course.  The Ford Performance organization will offer a range of global high performance vehicles, and this includes the arrival of the Ford Focus RS on U.S. shores. It will be joined by the 2016 Ford Raptor, Focus ST, Fiesta ST, Shelby GT350 Mustang, and GT500 – along with a slew of other vehicles to be announced as we move through the calendar.

“Our new global Ford Performance team ties together racing, performance vehicles and parts. It will allow us to more quickly introduce products and accessories that meet the needs of customers around the world on-road and on the track,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, in the company’s press release. The automaker thinks this market will be booming, especially among younger, wealthier buyers buyers. For example, recent data shows Millennials buy ST models at twice the rate of the rest of Ford’s cars.

If you’re a fan of fast Ford vehicles, today a good day.

Regardless, finally seeing the Ford Focus RS on U.S. soil will be a real treat for automotive enthusiasts. More details will be released at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January.
