Default Ford Focus ARC Group N (P) Testing videos

Just came across these tongiht, they have to be seen (and heard) to be fully appreciated! In real life, this car is even more amazing. What it lacks in outright grip it gains in sound, style and appearance!!

Have alook at how the duratec is bolted together here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4vXU7DJEfY

Similar to Toyota 4A-GE and Ford Cosworth in some ways, maybe it's a modern day BDA??

The duratec are an amazing engine. Come with massive ports and valve outa the box meaning power is easy to get, Cosworth don't even touch the head until you are making 260hp+ without a turbo and even then they still use OE sized valves.

Strong block and crank. All round awesome engine
