Ford Focus ST-R
The all-new Ford Focus ST-R is the perfect example of how a great production car can inspire an incredible race car for motorsport enthusiasts. Built and designed by Ford Racing in North America, this purpose-built competition car has been crafted to take on the track with its powerful 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine, FIA regulation roll cage, upgraded brakes and track-tuned suspension. It has been created for a variety of racing series, such as Grand-Am ST, World Challenge TC and Canadian Touring Car Series, and it's also being offered to teams in Europe to compete in major events such as the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
The Focus ST-R draws its inspiration from Ford's new Focus ST road car, which features best-in-class brakes, handling and powertrains. This has allowed Ford to develop a global technical specification for teams who want to race the car cost-effectively.
"From the beginning, the Focus and new Focus ST were designed to be driver's cars," said Jost Capito, director of Global Performance Vehicles and Motorsport Business Development. "The road-going Focus and the Focus ST-R are perfect cars to demonstrate our commitment to motorsport and provide race teams with a fantastic car to suit their needs."
