The Cougar is a car from Mercury, with front wheel drive, a front mounted engine and a 2 door coupé body style.
Power is supplied by a double overhead camshaft, 2 litre naturally aspirated 4 cylinder motor, with 4 valves per cylinder that produces power and torque figures of 125 bhp (127 PS/93 kW) at 5500 rpm and 176 N·m (130 lb·ft/17.9 kgm) at 4000 rpm respectively.
