By now, Londoners will undoubtedly be familiar with the multitude of be-stickered BMWs currently flitting about the East-End and conspicuously flying down deserted “Games Lanes” past hapless punters and steely-eyed cabbies alike - all to a chorus of callous cussing and extended middle fingers.

What do you get if you add SVT to RS? Letters, more letters and 'ST', apparently . Not RSSVT, SVRTS or whatever else - but ST. This latest acronym (because what the car industry really needs is another acronym - I could just tell them all to F-O personally), I’m told, stands for “Sporting Technology”. I’m also told that this latest ST was a joint effort between the guys at Ford’s Team RS in Europe, and the SVT blokes in Dearborn who’ve been responsible for the madcap RS500 and a host of Mustangs respectively.
