GGR Launches RS370FR Focus RS Upgrade

Ford RS specialist Graham Goode Racing (GGR) has just launched a new upgrade package for the Ford Focus RS. Dubbed RS370FR, the vehicle boasts a total output increased from 301 bhp to 368 bhp at 6,383rpm, that can be translated into a 22 percent boost. Furthermore, torque reaches a peak output of 339 lb.ft at 4,997 rpm (from 310 lb.ft on the stock Focus RS).

“In our opinion, this is the optimum power and torque output for the car,” says GGR’s Technical Manager Alastair Mayne in a release, “because even with the sophisticated Revoknuckle front suspension and Quaife ATB differential, gaining sufficient traction can be a problem. Bearing that in mind, we’ve made a conscious policy decision to limit the engine’s torque, although there’s certainly more to come from the motor if we wanted it,” Mayne continues, “because the RS370FR package is running relatively low levels of boost.”

The GGR RS370FR package is available now, fully fitted at GGR’s Leicester premises for £3,750 plus VAT as a drive in, drive out package. Moreover, the new performance upgrade is covered by Graham Goode Racing’s own comprehensive 12 month / 30,000 mile breakdown warranty.

“It gives me great pleasure to launch this latest Focus RS upgrade, which builds upon the success and popularity of the 340 conversion, but raises performance to a new level. I am delighted with the outcome of the work undertaken by our technical team, because the GGR RS370FR package is exceptionally fast, yet as usable and civilized as our numerous Focus RS customers expect,” commented Graham Goode, GGR Managing Director.

The GGR RS370FR package includes:

• GGR carbon fibre Cold Air Induction System (CAIS)
• GGR large capacity air to air intercooler with alloy air diverter plates
• GGR large volume fuel injectors
• GGR silicone boost hoses
• GGR large bore exhaust turbo front pipe and sports catalyst section
• GGR specification ECU remap using Superchip’s Bluefin and firmware upgrade
