401-hp Ford Focus tuned Mcchip-dkr – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThere are few things we love more than hooning around in a vigorous, purebred sports car – and that’s exactly how Mcchip-dkr describes its 401-horsepower Ford Focus<\/a> RS. That’s the Stage 2 version delivering the “whole-blood athlete,” but if you want to work your way up to those heights, you can get the Stage 1 conversion for €799 ($1,142 USD). You’ll take your hatch from 301 stock horsepower to 345 and bump torque by about 50 lb-ft to 383 with an ECU upgrade.<\/p>\n

But if 401 is your lucky horsepower number and you like the sound of 457 lb-ft. of torque, then you’ll need €4,499 ($6,421 U.S.). That pile of pounds will give you access to a new manifold, uprated intercooler, spark plugs, and a sports exhaust as well as the necessary ECU tweaks. Mcchip-dkr thankfully didn’t do anything regrettable to the Focus RS’ already terrific looks. What they’ve done with torque steer outside of the stock RS’ trick Revoknuckle and limited-slip setup is anyone’s guess.<\/p>\n

Have a look at the press release after the jump, and there are more images of the car in the high-res gallery below.<\/p>\n
