Default F2 to Debut New Focus Project Car at SEMA 05

Quote:

F2 is proud to work on this 2005 Focus Focus ST for SEMA 2005. F2 will be displaying this car and the F2/Gillis Motorsports Race car in booth #52347. We will also be fortunate to have Andrew Gillis with us, and also we will be joined by Leo Capaldi (driver of the #68 Focus) as well as Andy Brown (owner of the Air Force Focus). This year for SEMA we will again be surprising you with a crazy car.

The car is sponsored by:
Dunlop, Polk Momo, Luff Wheels, Turbo Smart, Visteon, Ford, OMP, Faze Gauges, Oznium.com, Ireland Engineering and Focaljet.com.

Car Details:
The first thing that will catch your eye is the F2 wide body for the 2005 Sedan. Then you will notice the massive F2 brakes that are surrounded by the Luff M1 wheels using 19x8.5 in the front and 19X10.5 in the rear. Dunlop is supplying the rubber 235/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. This
alone will get your attention. The interior is very classy and you will notice the push button start next to the Pioneer head unit and overhead Visteon screen as well as the Polk Momo sound system in the car and the trunk will blow you away with 3 TV's and the Sub's.

F2 would like to thank Luis (intuneauto) for the great work and support in this project. When you look in the engine you will be shocked at what you see! Not just a simple engine bay with bolt on's, but a work of art that will keep you glued and wondering how it was done. You will see a pair of Turbo's that will power this beast. The estimated power will be well over 400hp, final numbers will be done after SEMA. A new hood design will be on the car and also come and look at our displays that will have all of our products. Thanks for your support we look forward to seeing you at SEMA, or at the track and get togethers.

That is awesome! Very clean looking. Very aggressive. I don't like the rear spoiler, but the spoiler in the rear window I like... I can't wait for the real pictures. I can't make it to SEMA.

as i said before the sedans will come from the ashes to take over the focus world.I can say im proud to be a part of this car and seeing it in person is A true blessing.My work isnt all that awe and shock as the engine and 2 turbos.
This car will really turn heads and the cool thing is she is fully street drivable and will make it to all our socal meets.I am in talks with ricardo to be able to take her and some of her sisters around the country on a quasi FOCUS tour.So stay tuned

It looks like the major difference is F2s Turbos kicks in around 2800 RPMs where HKS doesn't kick in until 4700 RPMs

But it's great to see a two Foci with 400+ HP

Ya but Jon's car is very nice. I had the opportunity to tow it to JetFest, that car is a masterpiece. And no one will ever top that. Actually that car inspired this Sedan that we are building.

for some reason I am not impressed with their numbers.. for a twin turbo car, it should be at least pushing 500-600
