Launch and Platform
The Puma began production in June 1997 and was based on the fourth‑generation (1995‑2002) Ford Fiesta platform. This connection gave the sporty coupé a familiar front‑wheel‑drive layout while offering a distinct, sleek silhouette.
A Future Classic
Even before the 2019 Puma crossover appeared, the original 1997‑2001 Puma was already being hailed as a "future classic" by enthusiasts. Its limited production run and unique design have helped it achieve a cult status among collectors.
Parts Rarity and Tuning Scene
Because manufacturers are only obliged to keep spare parts available for ten years, genuine Puma components are becoming increasingly rare. Nevertheless, a dedicated market for tuning and replacement parts—covering body components, brakes, clutch, and performance upgrades—remains active, keeping the Mk1 on the road.
