Focus RS by MR Car Design: up to 360 hp

After the recent presentation of the Ford Focus RS Black Edition developed by Anderson Germany, another major international tuner as MR Car Design unveils its interpretation of the Ford Focus RS, versatile compact sports car with some clever changes that can compete with the much more expensive competitors RS3 Sportback Audi and BMW 1 Series M The Focus RS produced by German tuner remains completely intact appearance made by the House, Mr.

Design in fact preferred to leave intact the details that distinguish the bodywork and the interior of the car, already very apparent. The two-volume series of Ford offers many aesthetic and aerodynamic components that closely resemble the cars involved in rally racing, such as air intakes on the nose and on the hood, while the front and side airfoils have very sharp.

No doubt the view that offers the greatest visual effect is back, which brings with it a large wing aerodynamics located on the rear window and an air extractor of generous dimensions, from which emerge the two chrome tailpipes. The sporty touch to the interior is high-containment rather than seats with integrated head restraints, Recaro carried out by specialists.

The work of the workshop focused on the German mechanical kit that increases exponentially fast acceleration and dynamic qualities of the car. The development of MR Car Design has focused on replacing the electronic engine management and the addition of a new sports air filter made by K & N.

Another major change is to replace the exhaust with a new sports facility equipped with a catalytic converter to 200 cells. These changes have helped increase the power of the 2.5-liter turbo from 305 to 360 hp which translates as reported by the trainer during acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.9 seconds, instead of the 5.9 standard of the car .

To maintain balance the qualities of the car's handling has been adopted a new suspension system developed by KW such as "Variant 1", equipped with shorter springs and rigid, while the helical limited slip differential Quaife has been further optimized to better manage the front-wheel drive, limiting the understeer of the car.
