Ford Focus WTCC Edition gets 200bhp

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

World Touring Car outfit Arena has launched theĀ Ford Focus WTCC Edition with a Mountune performance upgrade offering 200bhp.

In fact, the Focus WTCC Edition is a warmed-over Focus 1.6 Zetec S which has been given a performance upgrade by Mountune (Ford’s tuner of choice and the same firm that delivered the power upgrade for the old Focus RS500) which means a jump from the 179bhp of the 1.6 Zetec S to 200bhp.

Also in the mix to go with the extra power is a set of Team Dynamics Pro race alloys, a Mountune short-throw gear selector and a stainless steel Powerflow exhaust.

The Zetec S already gets stiffer springs and dampers to cope with the extra power, and it looks like they’ve been left alone, but there are bits of carbon fibre trim thrown in to the mix and you can have replica WTC stripes if you want.

It’s an appealing upgrade to the Focus Zetec S (depending on price – which Arena hasn’t yet revealed) and because it’s a Mountune upgrade you will still get the standard Ford Warranty. The Focus WTCC Edition will be offered around the world.

If only Arena had got Mountune to tweak the Focus ST as a stop-gap to a new Focus RS.
