Meet the most powerful Focus RS yet! BBR tuners has just released a ‘Phase 4’ upgrade kit which boosts power to 400bhp– that’s an increase of 99bhp over the standard RS and 55bhp over the storming, limited edition RS500.
With an ECU upgrade and new intercooler, exhaust system, fuel injectors and turbocharger the RS400 should accelerate from 0-62mph in around 5.3 seconds and on to a top speed close to 170mph.
Buyers hoping to own the fastest ever Focus will have to shell out an extra £4,490 including equipment and fitting. Alternatively, Phase 1 2 and 3 upgrades are priced at £595, £1,440, £2,480 respectively and range in power from 340bhp to 380bhp.
All models can be fitted with BBR-developed springs for £495 that, according to BBR, will improve ride comfort. A set of £1,095 Koni adjustable dampers is also available.
