FORD TUNES UP THE SPORT COMPACT PERFORMANCE SCENE WITH NEW FAST FOCUS CATALOG OF PARTS
With over 1 million Focus models on the road, the appeal of the car as a tuning platform is heightened thanks to the new Ford Racing Performance Parts Fast Focus catalog of parts.
Ford Racing partnered with European counterparts, Ford Rallye Sport and Cosworth Racing, to fill catalog with highly-desired parts inspired by Focus' participation in the World Rally Championship racing series.
Ford Focus has solidified its status as a popular import car alternative with the sport compact performance scene.
LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 2 –This weekend, the Specialty Equipment Market Association's (SEMA) International Auto Salon (IAS) at the Los Angeles Convention Center is ground-zero for the launch of Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) new catalog of sport compact hardware for Ford Focus enthusiasts. Aimed directly at the Southern California car culture's sport compact tuner community, the new Fast Focus catalog of parts features almost everything the sport compact enthusiast could ever want: body kits, superchargers, wheels, crate engines and more.
"The Ford Focus has proven itself as a highly-dynamic performer," said Jamie Allison, Manager of FRPP, "and now Ford Racing Performance Parts is offering a whole catalog of parts to satisfy the sport compact enthusiast."
The Ford Focus is the latest in a long line of successful compact performance vehicles produced by the Blue Oval, and it also enjoys a unique position as the only domestic sport compact body style competing in the FIA's demanding World Rally Championship (WRC).
Blessed with a European design and driving feel, today's Ford Focus is the byproduct of a compact car performance heritage that traces back to the 1960's, with the lightweight, rugged Cortina, that later evolved into the Escort RS1600 and 1800 that dominated international rally events. It is Ford's strong history in rally competition that has helped inspire the development of the new Fast Focus sport compact parts catalog from Ford Racing. Such parts are intended to greatly expand the vehicles appeal and performance envelope to suit the discerning tastes of the sport compact car tuner.
Since its introduction, Focus has garnered praise from the media for its dynamics, and fun-to-drive nature that has placed it near the top of many shoppers lists (a leading consumer magazine recently named Focus as the "Best Small Car" and the SVT Focus as the "Best Sporty Car"). The Focus has proven highly successful with over 1 million copies of the vehicle sold to date. With such a large number of vehicles on the road, the Ford Focus cannot help but present itself as a popular alternative to the import brands and as a vehicle platform that is ripe for modification by the would-be tuner. Available as an affordable used model, the Focus' thoughtful, fun-to-drive design presents an excellent "canvas" or basis for modification with hardware from the new Ford Racing Performance Parts Fast Focus catalog.
The new Fast Focus sport compact parts catalog offers a comprehensive variety of parts including: crate motors; camshafts; cylinder heads; superchargers; body kits; and wheels. Ford Racing Performance Parts, in conjunction with European partners, Ford Rallye Sport and Cosworth Racing, are working to evolve the catalog's product offerings with highly-desired and factory-engineered quality parts that remain sensitive to the trends of the tuner community.
