HPE400 Ford Focus RS
According to John Hennessey, the HPE400
Ford Focus RS will be ready within the next 30 days. That's good news for
enthusiasts who feel that 350 horsepower from a hot hatch won't quite do. As
you might have guessed, the HPE400 will make 400 hp from Ford's 2.3-liter
EcoBoost engine. Hennessey is claiming that midrange power will be up by 75 hp
and 80 lb ft of torque, so the car should feel significantly quicker throughout
the rev range.
Hennessey is
changing the engine management software, adding a high-flow air filter, and a
new stainless steel mid pipe for the exhaust with an electronic dump valve. Of
course, "HPE400" and "Powered by Hennessey" badges will
come with the kit, which costs US$ 2,995 for all the parts. Hennessey will perform
the install, along with a dyno tune, for US$ 4,995.
