The Ford Focus RS may end up being among the most popular cars at the upcoming 2016 SEMA show, because it integrates two characteristics lorry modifiers adore: an affordable price and an engine just asking for more power.
Ford will have a handful on its own stand, the most severe of which has been developed by well-known Ford tuner Roush. The car’s turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-4 has been tuned to provide over 500 horse power, thanks mostly to some calibration of the ECU. The engine’s cooling system and some internals were likewise updated to suit the new output.
Roush likewise upgraded the suspension and brake, which is a sensible relocation whenever you substantially up the power. When it comes to its Focus RS, Roush set up adjustable suspension with camber plates and slotted brake rotors. The vehicle also wears Roush’s own aero package and 19-inch wheels covered in Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires.
Just like the Roush Focus RS is the example from Full-Race Motorsports. This vehicle sports a brand-new turbocharger to help liberate 450 hp. A new front-mount intercooler has been set up to cool the charge air and a 3.0-in exhaust system from the turbo back has actually been added to decrease back pressure.
For the chassis, Full-Race Motorsports included a Wavetrac limited-slip differential for the front axle, beefier driveshafts, Whiteline front and rear adjustable end-link sway bars, and also KW coilover suspension. The wheels are a 19-in set from Finspeed that come covered in Toyo Proxes R888 tires.
The final Focus RS Ford has previewed has actually been established by H&R Springs. It includes coilover suspension, enabling each coil to be fine-tuned over shock with a progressive-rate spring to make sure much better handling and convenience than the stock setup. The wheels are an 18-in set from O.Z. Racing and come covered in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
