Ford Faqs

We all know Saleen for the powerful Mustangs that they produce - but this is one of the rare times they are expanding their expertise by releasing a modified Ford Focus under the Racecraft brand name. The new Focus RC2 will be revealed during the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Exterior additions include a new front fascia, mesh grille, rear spoiler, side skirts and 18-inch wheels with Bridgestone tires. It will also get suspension modifications with the addition of stiffer springs, high-performance valves and larger sway bars.

The second-generation Ford Focus was a great car and we are happy to see that the 2011 model is no different. We have been informed that it has been built with a large front maw, a new sport back rear, and revised panels around the entire car. The new Focus Mk. 3 is just as good in the inside as it is on the our.

For now the Focus has not been scheduled to have an RS version - but we have heard through the grapevine that it will adopt the ST badge and even a few mods in the future. It will come available in three, four, and five door variants, convertible, and wagon models.

Ford of Europe is preparing to release the new “Black Magic” edition. The new car has been built using the design of the Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet. If you were hoping to choose it in a different color you will be disappointed. Ford is keeping to the name and is only providing them in black.

The “Black Magic” edition will come with 17” alloy wheels that have been mounted to a sport suspension, tinted headlights, and fog lamps. The interior of the vehicle will have black leather and will be bundled with a Bluetooth/MP3 compatible stereo, a wind deflector, and parking sensors. There will only be 1500 of the “Black Magic” car available in Europe. Consumers will have a choice between the 2 liter engine that runs on diesel or gasoline.

Ford’s new ad campaign is going to be unique and different compared too many that we have seen lately. Ford has taken the new five doors Ford Focus and transformed it into an orchestra. The instruments have all been made out of the car.

This ingenious ad was created by two American composers who have taken the concept of car sounds to the extreme. Hollywood film composer Craig Richey and New York sound designer Bill Milbrodt turned 21 parts from the new Ford Focus into musical instruments and arranged them to be played by an orchestra.

Ford has finally released details and a picture of the new Ford Focus RS. So we may not have all the juicy details – but at least we have enough to get us thinking about how well it might drive and how popular it might become.

The Ford Focus will use the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine from the Ford Focus ST but with much more power – expected to be around 300bhp. Modifications to the turbo, air filter and exhaust will place the RS in direct competition with the new Subaru Impreza STi and Mitsubishi Evolution.
