2004 Ford Focus SVT Leather Euro Package, Sunroof Description

In late 2001, Ford's in-house performance group,Special Vehicle Team(SVT), introduced the SVT Focus ZX3 to the United States and Canadian markets for the 2002 model year. The exterior included revised front and rear bumper fascias, side skirts, fog lamps, rear diffuser and 17-inch (430mm) alloy wheels wearing fairly sticky "Y" rated 215/45R17 tires from Continental. The SVT also featured a reworked version of the 2.0-liter Zetec engine available in other Focus models. Developed in concert with Cosworth, this engine featured a special aluminum cylinder head with enlarged intake ports, high compression pistons and forged connecting rods, piston oil squirters, solenoid operated variable camshaft timing on the intake cam, dual stage intake manifold, and a 4-2-1 tubular exhaust header.

These additions, coupled with an increased 10.2:1 compression ratio, increased power from 130 to 170 horsepower (97 to 127kW).Getragprovided a six-speed manual transmission shared with theMini Cooper S. This transmission was a twinlayshaftdesign and included a dual mass flywheel to eliminate vibration and transmission noise. Other changes to complete the package included sharper steering through an increased boost ratio in the steering rack, larger disc brakes on all four corners, and stiffened suspension with a slightly larger rear anti-roll bar.

Interior features included leather seats, steering wheel, shift knob, and boot as well as emergency-brake handle and boot. Options included a powered glass sunroof, seven-speaker Audiophile sound system with 8-inch (200mm) sub-woofer, a cold weather package with heated seats, traction control, a 115V block heater, heated side mirrors and, for 2003 and 2004 models, HID xenon headlamps.

In 2003 the SVT was offered in the five-door body style and an all new European Appearance Package for three-doors only. It included all available options plus full leather Recaro seats and fifteen-spoke dark argent colored wheels. The exterior was available in two new colors, Screamin' Yellow and Competition Orange. The only option the five-door did not include were the sideskirts. In 2004, its final year of production, the Euro package was available in the five-door model as well. Also the five-spoke wheels were no longer available and a 6 spoke design was the replacement.
