2004 Ford Racing Focus RS8 Vs 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo 04l 2004 Ford Racing Focus RS8 In The Garage
Meet FrankenFocus's Makers
--F.M.
Ford Racing Technology is the Blue Oval's super sandbox. Here six engineers and a handful of purchasing, PR, and marketing folks manage to test, develop, and distribute 1100 parts, all of which are aimed at making Fords faster, better handling, and more fun. The group originated in 1983 to support teams racing Ford vehicles. That function continues today, but as the aftermarket racing parts business has burgeoned in recent years, FRT created the Ford Racing Performance Parts group to supply hardware for all Fords participating in any form of sport. McLaren Engineering provides technical and fabrication support in much the same way Roush Industries supports FRT's sister organization, the Special Vehicle Team (SVT). FRT keeps three sales and support trailers on the road from February to December, visiting sport-compact meets, hot-rod shows, and racing events. It supports a USAC midget-racing series powered by sealed Focus engines. But perhaps most fun is the development of showcars like 600-horsepower UPS trucks and rear-drive monster-motored Foci.
