BBR Builds 398bhp Ford Focus RS
Erstwhile tuner of Sierra Cosworths turns its attention to the Focus
As a tuning company, BBR is perhaps best-known for its insanely turbo'd 500 horsepower Sierra Cosworths in the late 80s and early 90s, as well as running Sierras and turbocharged Mitsubishis in the BTCC. The MX-5-isti will also know BBR as the creator of a successful turbo conversion kit for the Mazda MX-5.
The latest car to receive BBR's attention is the Focus RS. There are four stages of tuning available, from a £595 ECU re-map (which brings the Focus to an RS500-chasing 337bhp and 369lb ft of torque) to a full-on 'Phase Four', which takes the RS to 398bhp and 408lb ft of torque at 3380rpm.
On the off-chance you actually want to stay on the road, BBR will also fit a set of Koni adjustable dampers for you - for £795 plus £300 fitting.
It's also worth mentioning that if you don't have your heart set on that full 398bhp figure (although the Essex boy in all of us surely wants that), Mountune performance will do a more sensible 345bhp version that won't affect the manufacturer's warranty...
