World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) race team Arena today unveiled a limited edition of the Ford Focus in the United Kingdom.
Designed to celebrate the team’s first season in the WTCC, the hot hatch will be powered by a 1.6-liter turbo Ecoboost engine that has been upgraded by Arena’s race engine partner Mountune Performance, producing 200 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. It's 20 hp and 37 lb-ft more than the most powerful version of the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine.
The car also gets WTCC exterior graphics, 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 235/40 tires, a tweaked exhaust, carbonfibre-effect detailing in the cabin and WTCC branded trim.
The Focus WTCC Limited Edition will be offered for sale globally. Despite not being an official Ford product, it will also retain the full three-year warranty.
Mike Earle, Team Principal Arena, said "I am thrilled that the FIA WTCC has endorsed the new Focus WTCC Limited Edition road car. Hot hatch car enthusiasts I think are in for a huge treat with the Focus WTCC Limited Edition. It is a project that has more than delivered on every target we set for it when we sat down and drew up our aims for a road car based on the WTCC contender."
