Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) is hitting SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sema) with a volley of modified Focus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus) and Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fiesta) models this year. The company says that the aftermarket show is the perfect venue for showing off just how customizable both vehicles can be, and with creations from the likes of Roush (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/roush), Cobb Tuning (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cobb turning) and Gold Coast Automotive among others, there should be a hatch or sedan on hand in Las Vegas for everyone. Roush is doing what the company does best: plopping an R900 TVS Supercharger on top of the four-cylinder engine in the Focus for a substantial bump in power, and a full Roush exhaust ensures that the engine will breathe easy.
Cobb Tuning, meanwhile, will be going the turbocharging route with its Focus. The car will boast forged pistons, a custom turbo kit and front-mounted intercooler, as well as a unique air box, intake and exhaust manifold. No one's saying just how much power the Focus will make, but a StopTech Trophy big brake kit should ensure the car can be brought down from speed in a hurry.
The star of the Fiesta show this year will likely be from Gold Coast Automotive. With an intercooled Jackson Racing Rotrex supercharger, Wilwood braking hardware on all four corners and a custom front diffuser and rear spoiler, this GCA entrant could be the mightiest Fiesta of them all. Hit the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/10/20/ford-focus-and-fiesta-to-be-well-represented-at-sema/#continued) for the full press release.Continue reading Ford Focus and Fiesta to be well-represented at SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/21/ford-focus-and-fiesta-to-be-well-represented-at-sema/)
