Essex boy

Roush 600RE

Just as Jeremy comes to terms with swapping his Ford GT for a Lamborghini, along comes the Roush 600RE.

If this ain't the meanest looking supercar on the block, we don't know what is.

Developed at the Roush Technical Centre in Essex, the 600RE shows that Britain still knows how best to make a GT40 and that Essex boys just can't help themselves when it comes to tinkering with Fords.

Low, lithe and not a little scary, the 600RE has an uprated supercharger, tuned exhaust and must-have black-painted alloy wheels.

There's also tinted glass to keep the outside world guessing about who's inside and a plaque to let you know which of the limited run of 10 cars you're sitting in.

But you know what they say: you can take the supercar out of Essex, but not Essex out of the supercar...
