Focus Terminator - Morris Ox
Now I've seen it all...

Just read about a major tuning outfit in the States that has decided to produce its own performance version of the Focus.

None of the available four-pot Zetec motors are deemed good enough, soo....they've shoe-horned a supercharged 4.6 litre V8 from the SVT Mustang Cobra under the hood, wound it up to 500bhp or so, and sent drive south to the rear wheels (straightforward job, apparently: the exhaust tunnel is already big enough to take a propshaft).

Result is a car which covers the quarter mile in around 11 seconds and spins its wheels gleefully in third (no surprise: there's 500lbs/ft of torque).

It's called the Terminator Focus and it's on sale to the public for $69,500 plus the donor Focus.

Forgot to mention: they also offer a two-year/24,000 miles warranty...if you last that long!
