The Storm is aimed at avid off-roaders and it features a number of extras to make it more appealing to that crowd.

This includes a massive “Storm” logo up front, with the Ford oval above it. Other cosmetic additions include stickers, fender flares running boards and model-specific alloys.

The first 60 people to purchase one of these will also receive a snorkel and canopy.

Interestingly, the Storm is not powered by Ford’s new 2.0-litre biturbo engine, but rather the older 3.2-litre five-cylinder.

The tyres on the Storm are Scorpion AT Plus all-terrain rubber, developed specifically for this model. The development of this tyre, which is said to offer optimal grip on mud, gravel, stone and asphalt, took around a year.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
