What power is it pushing out..?

[lordbenny]

It's a fast road car, ex-power engineering demonstrator & pretty quick. Has recorded 400bhp on the rolling road but is just a mere 310bhp at the moment + Noz!!!!

looks cool, is it a genuine 4wd ex-rally car or a booooosted & kitted 2wd Focus? rear track looks a bit narrower than the rally cars but could just be the angle/bodykit.

2wd 1.4CL!

Nice car.

What is the spec? Is it full 4WD, roll cage and all the rally toys inside?

Hey gorgeous car!

just did a quick google on the Reg plate and it came up with this PDF. It's information on the build.

Yep, thats my car although it's been upgraded quite alot since that information & although it isn't 4 wheel drive it's a very capable car. As I said earlier, it will be for sale soon at a VERY affordable price.

[Lordbenny]

I will be putting this car up for sale in the next 2/3 weeks. It's just had a complete engine strip/rebuild with ALL the proper parts, pistons alone set me back £1000!!!

I'm looking for £16,500

(It has had alot of improvements since this PDF ,see intercooler in the pic above compared to the pic at the top of the page!!!, but gives you an idea of the money that has been spent on it)

Get in touch if your interested.

It may sound like I'm being a bit off, but why call it a WRC focus if it isn't a world rally car?

Why call a McLaren F1 an F1 or an Alpine Renault GTA LeMans if it hadnt raced at LeMans or
for that matter a host of other motors that have racing type names. Ok, so I'm claiming a bit of poetic license on this one but it has got a genuine WRC body kit.....give me a break!

[Allblackdup]

Its a stunning car! I remember seeing it down Power Engineering previously and at a few shows, just after it was finished.

Doesnt look too bad from the front, but at the back, just looks like a reular focus with a ridiculously big wing on it. Does not float my boat at all sorry matey

[rimmer]

nice car wasnt it featured in fast ford or some other magazine like that because i remember seeing something like your car.

[bloodyniceben]

I remember this car from a few years back when i had my Focus and was a staff member in the FFOC. I have seen the car a few times, and authough the genuine WRC kit is impressive, i always thought the way the rear arches were fitted to the wings was a bit of a bodge up, the real WRC arches follow the original swage line in the rear wings, but power engineering just seemed to stick the wheelarch on and fill it up with pug,

Nice line in rear wheelarch


Smoothed over rear arch just doesnt look right

So THAT'S where the PE Focus ended up!!!

A very impressive motor it has to be said and was something of a pioneering car for turbo-ing the Focus.

Not everybody's cup of tea admittedly - I'm not a huge fan of the bodykit but a genuine M-Sport WRC kit (hence calling it a WRC Focus) isn't something you're gonna find on any other barried up Focus - but you can't knock the work that has gone into building it!
