The paint is not a wrap but custom paint and the interior is leather with suede inserts and leather stars Ford Motor Company itself designed and tested the Focus with Ford racing at the helm, while McLaren Vehicle Development Center played an integral role in developing the model's engine and building it. Hold your horses, it's not the U.K-based automaker we're talking about, but another company. Their mission? To build the ultimate combination of high horsepower and superior handling in a small, front-wheel-drive car. Just three FR200 model rolled off the line, each one developing 304 hp thanks to their modified 2.0-liter Zetec engine, and costing over $225,000. "We are excited to be involved with Ford Racing Technology on the Focus FR200, which is a phenomenal vehicle," said Wiley R. McCoy, president and chief operating officer of McLaren Performance Technologies at the car's launch. The Focus FR200 is an extreme statement from the Blue Oval boys that proves the company's sport compact can be tuned for speed, style and hard-hitting performance. But is it too extreme? The car is a bold, unabashed, no-compromise effort to squeeze out the maximum possible performance from the platform. The staff at Turbo magazine is all for that. The advantages that Ford Racing has are a big budget, talented resources and most importantly, total access to all things Ford. The FR200, a product development exercise, runs some components that have no chance to see production. This is most evident in the front suspension, where a prototype bolt-on double A-arm conversion package is utilized. The suspension is trick, but it results in a 4-inch increase in track width, which means a wide-body kit would be needed to make it all work in the real world. The fact that this suspension functioned so well on the track makes the situation more frustrating That aside, the real focus of the FR200 is performance options that have a chance to see the street by way of the Ford Racing parts catalog. Top on our list is turbo power. The FR200s we drove were boosted to 15 psi by an IHI RHF5HB ball-bearing turbo connected to a top-mount Spearco-based air-to-air intercooler. The system uses a Mustang Cobra mass air meter, prototype FR 70mm throttle body and a high-flow FR aluminum intake manifold. The intake tract has a reversion chamber after the mass air unit. During development, the transition from high-load to low-load caused fluctuations in the power curve and the chamber smoothed the flow. The Focus' single-line fuel system has put the whammy on a number of turbo kit makers. Ford Racing has the total access necessary to program a custom EEC-V engine management computer for the FR200. The unit increases the duty cycle of the fuel pump when extra juice is needed. Restrictions in the fuel system were eliminated and bigger injectors were installed. The driveline is not standard issue, as Ford Racing went to Europe to put the power down. The FR200 runs a Euro-spec gearbox stuffed with Ford Racing prototype gears and a 3.82:1 final drive ratio. The transmission spins FR prototype half shafts by way of a Torsen limited-slip differential. A custom Centerforce clutch package handles gear transitions. On the suspension front, the aforementioned double A-arm set-up is joined by three-position adjustable coil-overs, anti-roll bars and Mustang Cobra brakes. The front brake assembly consists of 13-inch cross-drilled rotors and two-piston calipers. A spacer washer between the spindle and rotor, and a caliper mounting bracket are the keys to making this swap work. Needless to say, brakes made for a 3,560-pound. car are real go-getters in a 2,551-pound car. The most striking aspect of the FR200 by far is its styling. Ford Racing asked Mustang FR500 designer Don Johnson of D.A. Johnson Design to create a distinctive look, highlighted by an "outrageous" rear spoiler that is the car's signature piece. The wide body kit on the FR200 uses Euro-spec taillights and is constructed from carbon fiber.
