The Ford Cougar takes on a wilder look this month with the introduction of a limited run of specially equipped Cougars, fresh from Ford’s performance partner Tickford.
Special Eibach suspension will see the sporty coupe lowered 20mm, with higher rate linear springs at the front and progressive rate springs at the rear. Revised shock absorbers feature tuned compression and rebound damping for the best performance across both low and high speed road conditions.

New 17″ alloys are fitted with Dunlop FM901 215/45 x 17 high performance tyres.
Externally, the Cougar Eibach is clearly identified, with a full body kit including new rear spoiler and bonnet scoop. The front spoiler and side skirts are finished in Dark Argent, contrasting with the body coloured rear spoiler and bonnet scoop.
“Cougar Eibach” will take us closer to a different customer base,” said David Flint, Managing Director of Tickford. “It has a more muscular, sporting stance, and delivers an enhanced handling package from one of Europe’s top high-performance suspension tuners.
“We’re delighted with the new package.”
He confirmed that the Cougar Eibach would be available in a limited edition of 100 only vehicles.
Cougar Eibach will be available with automatic or manual transmission, with or without leather trim, and in a range of six colours: Rio Red, Ebony Black, Dark Tourmaline, Spruce Green, Laser Red or Silver Frost.
Manual models will retail at $43,380, automatics at $45,259. Leather trim is an additional $1409. All prices are recommended retail, and include GST.
