They'd never in the U.S.
But there is a Focus RS overseas with rwd and a v8 I do believe.
May even be AWD?
Don't care to search for it but you sure as hell can

Why does europe have such a huge *** collection of pretty cool cars and north america gets nothing or watered down versions?

Though we do get extremely cheap prices compared to them, a c5 non zo6 vette is almost $90,000 new in England in US dollars!! A mustang is twice as much too.

You can swap a 4.6 03 cobra engine into a Focus. It's been done, and I believe certain companies make kits to convert it.

Those fuggers are fast, when they get traction.

There a conversion for RWD too?
No sense in all that torque in a fwd car.

Guest

yeah, that's part of the conversion. I believe it's an 03 rear end with a custom drive shaft. There's a lot of work done to the underbody and firewall to fit the engine/drivetrain into the car.

Obsol3te

I'd say so, would've been odd as **** seeing an 03/04 cobra engine cocked sideways in the enginebay
and a tiny *** tranny sticking on the other end of it.

Why the hell would you put an 03 cobra engine in an ugly pos focus?

why the hell would you buy an automatic Mach I?
