The Focus ST-R race car concept is a dramatic example of Ford's global approach to product development. This concept vehicle, powered by the sophisticated 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine, is the first to benefit from a collaborative effort of Ford and Ford racers from around the world who have experience building and racing Focus – successfully! The result of this teamwork is a global racing platform – highlighted by a common body and a safety cage built to FIA regs – a competitive platform that can be tailored for regional competition, based on local rules.

The Focus ST-R race car concept is built with U.S. racing specs in mind. Throughout 2011, Ford Racing will design and engineer a complete – and competitive – Focus ST-R race car that will be available for purchase by those wishing to compete with a Focus in professional and amateur road racing classes. When introduced, the Focus ST-R customer car will be the latest in the family of turn-key race cars from Ford Racing (Mustang FR500C, Mustang FR500S, Mustang Cobra Jet, Boss 302R, Boss 302S). These cars are available from any Ford dealer.
