The Ford Puma is a sport compact coupé that was produced by Ford Europe from September 1997 to July 2002. and built exclusively at Ford's Niehl plant in Cologne, Germany. The Ford Puma follows common design cues with other Ford cars at the time, and is in the New Edge family of vehicles. All Pumas are front-engined, front-wheel-drive, three-door coupés with four seats and was based on the Mark 4 Ford Fiesta, with new engines (codeveloped with Yamaha), a new body, stiffer suspension, wider track and close-ratio gearbox, among other changes

 

The Puma was available with four engine options: 1.4-litre (1997-2000) of 90bhp, 1.6-litre (2000-2001) 104 bhp, this 1.7 litre VCT (only used in the Puma) 125bhp and the limited edition Ford Racing Puma with a Tickford tuned 1.7-litre VCT of 153bhp. , the 1.7-litre engines used Nikasil cylinder plating, which required a specific grade of oil (5W30 semisynthetic) to minimise mechanical wear. The 1.7 litre engine covered many miles in its manufacturing process, the cylinder blocks were machined at Fords Valencia (Spain) plant then shipped to Yamaha in Japan for Nikasil coating and completion, before shipment to Ford's Cologne plant where the Puma was assembled

 

The Puma sports coupe was only sold in Europe. Production ended in 2001, although sale of stock vehicles continued into 2002.

 

In 2019 Ford resurected the Puma name, on a Romanian built subcompact crossover SUV
