Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) has finally given us a complete walk around video of the company's ready-to-order Ford Focus ST-R (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford focus st-r) racer. The vehicle is available through the Ford Racing (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford racing) catalog and features all the tricks you'll need to compete in series like the Grand-Am ST class or the SCCA World Challenge TC. The racecar makes use of the same production EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost) 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission found in the production model, though the engine has been calibrated to suck down race fuel for a little more power.
As Ford Racing's Andy Vrenko shows us, larger brakes and a set of three-way adjustable coilovers are part of the suspension package, and indoors, the Ford Focus ST-R comes equipped with an FIA-spec roll cage, Recaro (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/recaro) race seat and AEM (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/aem) data logger. The machine looks like a great way to have a lot of fun on track. Expect to shell out $98,995 for the pleasure of ownership, however. If that seems steep, we encourage you to build a similar machine for less. Hit the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/12/22/ford-racing-gives-focus-st-r-race-car-tour/#continued) to check out the video.Continue reading Ford Racing gives Focus ST-R race car tour (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/22/ford-racing-gives-focus-st-r-race-car-tour/)
