Ford Focus ST with 270HP from Loder1899
Having already released various sport packages for the mainstream versions of the European market Ford Focus, Bavarian tuner Loder1899 has now turned its attention to the sportiest Focus of them all (that is, until the introduction of the RS), the ST. Modifications to the sport hatch's exterior are minimal and include a front apron, carbon fiber rear diffuser and front grille as well a set of tasty 20-inch alloys that mimic the style of the standard wheels. The light bodykit is complemented by the lower suspension and the new sport exhaust system. -Continued
Under the hood, the Bavarian tuning firm's engineers reprogrammed the 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine's electronic control unit. Along with the addition of a sport catalyst and a sport air intake power is boosted from 225 to 270HP. The result is a 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) sprint time of 6,5 sec, or 0,3 sec faster than the factory model while top speed is up by 9 km/h to 250 km/h or 155mph.
