This Ford Focus got away, but there are more like it here.
This 2008 Ford Focus was modified for National Auto Sport Association (NASA) Spec Focus racing under previous ownership and is said to have been an event winner in the SCCA’s South Atlantic Road Racing Championship (SARRC) series in 2009. The car is powered by a 2.0-liter DOHC inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and is finished in green over a race-prepped interior that features a roll cage, a Sparco racing seat and quick-release steering wheel, a G-Force five-point harness, a driver’s window net, a fire-suppression system, and a battery disconnect switch. Additional equipment includes Ford SVT alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a Steeda strut tower brace, Ford Racing dynamic dampers, performance springs and sway bars, front and rear tow hooks, a short shifter, an exhaust header, and a Thrush muffler. The car was acquired by the seller in 2021 and is said to have been employed primarily for SCCA and Chin track day events. This Focus is offered at no reserve with racing logbooks, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Kiwi Green Metallic with racing decals and black-finished window trim, door handles, and dual manual side mirrors. Tow hooks are fitted front and rear, the door glass has been removed, and close-up photos depicting paint chips, scrapes, and scratches can be viewed in the gallery.
Fifteen-spoke 17″ Ford SVT alloy wheels finished in gray are mounted with 225/45 Hoosier R7 track tires showing 2022 production date codes, and close-up photos showing the tire wear indicators can be viewed in the gallery below. A Steeda strut tower brace has been installed, and suspension is handled by Ford Racing dynamic dampers along with performance springs and sway bars. The steering is power-assisted, and the power four-wheel disc brakes are said to have been flushed within the last year.
The race-prepped cabin is underpinned by a roll cage and features a Sparco Circuit racing seat, a G-Force Racing Gear five-point latch-and-link harness, and a driver’s window net. A battery disconnect switch is clamped to the roll cage by the driver’s left hand, and the switch for a fire-suppression system has been mounted in the center stack.
The three-spoke Sparco quick-release steering wheel fronts a backlit instrument pod housing a 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as fuel-level and coolant-temperature gauges. The digital odometer shows 13k miles, approximately 400 of which were added during current ownership.
The 2.0-liter Duratec inline-four was factory rated at 140 horsepower and features an aluminum block, four valves per cylinder, and sequential multipoint fuel injection. A tubular exhaust header flows into a single-outlet exhaust system equipped with a Thrush muffler. The car’s last track use occurred on August 16, 2023, and the oil was changed two days later.
Power is sent to the front wheels through an MTX-75 five-speed manual transaxle with a short shifter. Additional photos of the underbody can be viewed in the gallery.
The car is accompanied by Sports Car Club of America and Historic Sportscar Racing logbooks as well as a car cover.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Michigan, Florida, and Georgia. A gap in entries between 2009 and 2022 is noted.
