RWD Ford Focus with a 611 hp Supercharged Coyote V8

Troy Seyfer of Seyfer Specialties built this 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 at their company in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. We shared this car earlier this year when it was at Barrett-Jackson. The custom orange hatchback is for sale on Bring a Trailer in Sarasota, Florida.

The engine bay surrounds a 5.0 L Coyote V8 (2nd gen) with a 3.0 L Whipple supercharger. Gonzalez MotorSport tuned the motor and it made 611 hp (449 kW) and 514 lb-ft (696 Nm) of torque.

Behind the supercharged V8 is a Tremec T45 five-speed manual transmission. A custom driveshaft sends power to a Ford 8.8-inch rear end with a 3.73 ratio and Eaton Truetrac limited-slip differential.

The Focus rides on a Watts Link rear suspension and stops thanks to disc brakes front and rear. The exterior features a RS-style body and custom steel hood repainted orange. A set of 19-inch wheels hold Bridgestone Potenza RE71 tires (245/40, 265/40).

Behind the steering wheel is a Dakota Digital gauge cluster. In front of those are two Recaro seats with G-Force harnesses surrounded by a roll cage. In the back of hatch is a custom fuel cell.
