Car articles about Ford (D) Taunus 20m by year
The Taunus 12 M had been put into the nest of the Cologne Ford works by the big mother from Dearborn. In keeping with its origins, it was also very American in some respects, such as the suspension, steering and body size compared to other European small cars. But this also had its advantages. Because with the 1.5-liter engine, the 12 M suddenly belonged to the middle class - and was unrivalled in terms of price. This historical test report is dedicated to the big little Ford.
Surprisingly, the large V6 was quite similar in its characteristics to the small four-cylinder engines. Instead of drawing its power from the depths of its displacement, it also preferred to draw its power from the engine speed. However, as it harmonized excellently with the transmission, this was not seen as a disadvantage. The generally very conventional design of the car also had its advantages, as can be seen from this historical test report.
A mid-range car that is intended to appeal to a wide range of buyers can never please everyone. Some prefer it sporty, others prefer it comfortable. On top of that, it should be easy to handle in the city and comfortable on long journeys, as well as powerful and economical. And of course it also has to look good. The Ford Taunus P5 mastered this balancing act very well in 1965, as this historical test report shows. Even the much-maligned V4 engine came off surprisingly well.
With the Taunus 20M, Ford rounded off the mid-range model at the top - the "hardtop", pillarless coupé with the two-liter V6 engine is regarded as a delicacy of the model series. With 90 hp, it had a sporty engine at the time, and the classic, simple coupé shape is still appealing today. We were able to drive a 1966 model and test it in today's road traffic.
