Transit has been the best-selling commercial vehicle in Europe for 40 years and in some countries the term “Transit” is used as a generic term to describe a light commercial van. More than 5,000,000 Transit models have been manufactured since 1965. The new Transit introduced in 2000 has Ford's New Edge style seen on the Focus and Ka models. The main engine is a 2.3 L 16-valve diesel that enables the Transit to accelerate to 100 km / h in 21 seconds and reach a top speed of 150 km / h. On Top Gear with this model, the professional racer Nurburgring broke the ring in 9 minutes 59 seconds and it was a better time than show manager Jeremy Clarkson broke the same ring with a diesel Jaguar S type!
