In the late '90s, Ford built a one-off sporting edition of a Ford mid-size SUV using Ford Racing products. They planned to promote it through Ford Racing dealerships to bolster Ford's motorsport history and credibility. It was a great move to build up Ford's public image. So Ford built it... as a Mercury. The supercharged special has lived a long but confusing life, and is now available for relatively little money.
