The new Mondeo is the latest model in Ford’s European range to be offered with the company’s vehicle personalization programme, ‘Ford Individual’. First shown as a design study at the 2007 Frankfurt Show and now revealed in production form at the Paris Show, the Mondeo Individual package focuses on enhancing the car’s interior styling but from spring 2009, it will be extended to include bespoke 18-inch, alloy wheels, with an iridescent ‘Mystique Silver’ paint finish designed to catch the sunlight.

The Ford Mondeo has been a well received car in Europe, and Ford says that there’s so much demand for high-end models that it’s decided to introduce a new top-of-the-line version called the Titanium X Sport. Dubbed “the most desirable Mondeo yet” by Ford, the Titanium X Sport will be available either as a saloon (sedan) or estate (wagon) and be powered by Ford’s 2.5L turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine or its 2.2L TDCi diesel mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission. New 18-inch alloy wheels, side skirts and chrome dual exhaust tips add a premium punch to the visuals, while the interior benefits from red stitching on its leather seats, as well as a cow hide-covered steering wheel and shifter. You’ll find no wood veneer on this car’s instrument panel, as aluminum inserts and piano black inlays give the Mondeo’s domicile a more stark and modern feel. There is a “sports suspension”, but it appears that the Titanium X Sport is more show than actual go. Buyers will, however, get a nice long list of standard features to keep them company while accelerating to 62 mph in 8.4 seconds in the diesel-powered version.
