If i won the lotto I would need a car with similar spec in my life!! Defo in my top ten dream garage!!!!! Wouldn't have a clue how to maintain it but i guess i would just pay someone else. Keep on dreamin eh!!
yer. i think it looks like a focus st with a massive rally spoiler.. i dont give a fuck on how big it is! that thing is mental! if only ford did focus cosworth's i wud hope that is wat they wud look like. :D
On this day I think it was around 10.7 on road tyres if I remember correctly. That was running 670bhp. It's now running around 800bhp and has done a 9.5 on drag tyres.
If you had read more of the comments I've posted you would understand. The engine is a Cosworth YB. 10.7 seconds is about right for a track car(not a rally car as you suggested) of that power on a damp day. It was on wet tyres if I remember correctly. Geometry is set up for the track also, for e.g., camber etc. So it' isn't doing bad considering, It has recently done a 9.5 with 800bhp on drag tyres. Andy Forrest's purpose built drag car with similar power does low 9/ high 8 second quarters
wow! i'm not even a fan of the mid wings but everything on this focus (including the mid wing) all flow together pretty great, it looked pretty slick just sitting there
cant wait to see this with the new engine at knockhill for time attack! and to back up ralliart2000 its based on an escort cossie floorpan, Msport full WRC body, the only original part thats actually focus shell based it the pillars from the build really!
This isn't a Focus RS. It's a space frame chassis build to take a carbon WRC bodykit. The engine is a 670 bhp Cosworth YB. Think the whole thing only weighs just over 1000kg's.
i raced against him at crail in my astra sri,this was a few years ago when he had his escort cossie, dont need to tell you who won.cant remember his time exactly but im sure it was similar to his focus.fast as f**k
very fast car seen it many times and it is rapid!!!
his time for going round knockhill is under a minute a think!!!!!!!!!!!!
seen cossie's run 850 bhp so it can be done has been done!!!!
folk think they need a v6-v8 to get good power well a cossie will show a good few v8 its tail lights!!!!!!!

The car is 4WD. Using a cosworth YB engine tuned to circa 800BHP and it is used to race on circuits...such as knockhill

sweet engine!
moraisinimputavel 2 years ago
lol, could you imagine that though? 800hp through the front wheels!
JJMetalMad999 2 years ago
Not really no...Thats why its 4WD, lol!
RatchetMonkey 2 years ago
No, im fully aware that FWD couldnt handle that power. it was a joke that was lost on you.
JJMetalMad999 2 years ago
I see, i appologise :)...You'd probably get away with 400bhp to the front wheels with an LSD, anything other that would probably be pointless lol
RatchetMonkey 2 years ago
My focus rs has 300hp and i can just keep it in a straight line under throttle! lol
800hp + FWD = one long burnout!!!
