The idea is a European style sport coupe in the vein of the M3, XR4, etc..

The Duratec makes 305hp at 6,500rpm with a redline of 7,000, yet with the cruise set, it should pull a good 30+mpg.

Not to mention, the engine and trans ran me $1K (less than a set of heads for the old 302, and way less than a Coyote would run).
