Saw a blue Focus ST at the weekend that had "Wolf" written in the stripes down the side.... a colleague said its a special edition by some tuning house or other.

Is it?

ahh yes. Thats the one with the ford GT engine in it

IIRC Wolf are dealer approved accessories and tuning part.

Ahhhh....

It looked nice

Er, no. It's got a tuned version of the STs 5 cyl, producing around 290 - 300 hp...

IIRC, its also got uprated springs, dampers and brakes.

Do NOT try to race one...you WILL lose. Its intended as a Scooby/Evo challenger.

damn forgot the sarcasm smiley

I intend to get a 2.0l fabia then I will race one "like a king"

that focus looks awsome:thumbup:

295BHP thru the front wheels. AAAArgh! I bet it understeers like Jack B'stard. God Bless the blue oval for authorising it though.

Although they've had to limit boost in the first couple of gears (iirc) so it has some traction off the line!

I think they modified the traction control to cut the power right down in lower gears...

I bet it understeers like Jack B'stard.

Only if you're a lead-footed fool. 295 BHP through the front wheels is not too much, as long as you measure it out correctly.

Hopefully the RS will have 4WD though.

so what your saying is that 295bhp is too much for FWD as you have to be carefull and not apply all of it :confused:

my octavia has 4WD and can cope with its ~200bhp easily, i can be rolling along in first if i like and boot it with the boost controller set to maximum and all it does is accelerate. no wheel spin, no drama, no torque steer and this is what is meant by handling power not having to drive at half throttle so it doesn't wheel spin.

its not ford authorized and will invalidate the manufactureres warranty but they provide a 12 month warranty for psrts fitted.

It's an awesome motor..........will also be nice to hear and see when Wolfy gets to 330-360..Now there will not be many cars catching it, even a tuned Astra VXR:D

given the right type of idiot behind the wheel ~115bhp can be too much for fwd...

so what you're saying is that your 4WD has too much traction for the level of power it has, even post remap...

These specs certainly 'draw a line in the sand'...

The new Focus chassis has been designed to have a 4wd set-up so you just hope that Team RS get permission from Ford and create a beast of a machine that will annoy the Evo/Scooby boys
