We reckon it's risky game trying to feed more ponies to the front-wheels of the new 305HP Ford Focus RS as there's a strong possibility that you'll end up ruining the car's handling, but then again we could be wrong. Fortunately for those that disagree with us there are plenty of tuners out there that can and will spruce up Ford's Euro hot hatch. Germany's Loder1899 is one of those companies as the tuner presented a new sport package for the second-generation Focus RS. A sport exhaust system, a new air filter and some other upgrades that are not mentioned up the output of the 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five by 40 ponies for a total of 345 HP. The company also promises that the new exhaust system will alert your friends, neighbors etc, etc that you've fiddled around with the engine - if you catch our drift.
Furthermore, the Focus RS's body has been lowered 35mm or 1.4 inches while Loder1899 also offers a choice of 20-inch alloy wheels in various designs.

A Ford Focus never looked so good! Loder does great work.
Why, what did they do? Wheels are the only thing new
u never read? they have a new exhaust sytem and air filter replace position and lowered the car.
just simple step and they increase more Hp!
what do u expect from the outlook , since already awesome exterior.
Er whats new apart from banging wheels.I saw an ST push out 490 bhp with 2 super 60 turbo's, damn thing sounded like a truck.
No thanks. Can't perfect an RS. Looks like a skanky little supermarket rice burner with the black 20" rims on it. You wouldn't be able to drive it like it's intended on 20's either. Pass.
How about AWD? You'll never persuade WRX/STi/Evo owners to cross-shop one of these FWD torque-steering quasi-ricer jobs. AWD. The WRC car has it, so put it in production and show people you are serious about accessible, affordable performance. Ford has totally shat the bed by not competing with Subaru in this market. The WRX has been an undeniable success, and serves as a performance halo car often resulting in showroom sales of Outbacks, Foresters, etc.
VW has proven it, too, with the R32. Small volume, but it still lets those of us who actually care about what we drive know that VW knows what ingredients to combine to make a practical, everyday, all-weather sports car.
For the record, I drive a 1995 Audi S6 Avant. turbo, a total sleeper, AWD, manual tranny, etc. The perfect car, but I can only afford a 14 year old one. If Ford would just add AWD, and bring the 300 HP version to the US, I would be driving one right now.
rims are just killa wish i had one of these
