Following on from the colossal 368bhp Graham Goode Racing RS370 we tested back in December, fellow British tuning firm Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR) has gone a step further with its own pumped-up version of Ford’s mega-hatch. And we’re the first to get behind the wheel. Famous for creating monster 500bhp Sierra RS Cosworths back in the late Eighties and early Nineties, BBR has unveiled a four-stage tuning program for Focus RS owners.  Options range from a simple £595 tweak to the engine control unit which boosts power to 337bhp, right up to the full-bore £4,490 398bhp upgrade, which involves a motorsport-spec turbocharger and modifications to the fuel system. We’ll be driving that car in the coming weeks. Here we try the 376bhp stage three upgrade, which is predicted to be the best-seller. It gets a high-flow intercooler and air filter, larger fuel injectors and a free-flowing sports exhaust. Twist the key, and the engine rumbles into life, settling at a marginally louder idle than normal.  Pull away, and the throttle needs to be used gently for the first two gears, but floor it in third, and the car surges forward with an urgency that’s difficult to compute, while the familiar warble of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine fills the cabin. Maximum torque arrives at 3,800rpm, which means third gear is fine for negotiating slow roundabouts. The key to driving this car fast is using one gear higher than you think – which avoids wheelspin and minimises torque steer.  Unlike the GGR RS370, BBR has modified the RS’s suspension set-up, and the changes are a revelation. Customers can choose between a set of £495 lowering springs or £1,095 Koni adjustable dampers – or go for both. But rather than firming up the RS’s ride, the new springs and dampers are softer, which makes it easier to live with day-to-day. The softer suspension settings boost grip even further – on a bumpy B-road at least. The trade-off is a hint of body roll, but the turn-in is still razor sharp, and there’s a confidence-inspiring balance to the car in the corners. On the downside, hand over your Focus RS to BBR, and you will lose the manufacturer’s warranty. But for £150 a year for up to three years the firm will match Ford’s cover. So if you’re looking to turn your RS into something that can give Ferraris a fright, as well as being more comfortable to use on a daily basis, you should give the guys at BBR a call.

 ) no tendría sentido eso que decís. Pero ni de coña es verdad, si el RS500 con 350 declara 5.6 y no lo he visto bajar de 6 en ninguna publicación. Y al RS que declara 5.9 le cuesta mucho bajar de 6, sólo recuerdo una prueba alemana en la que obtuvieron 5.8, en las demás siempre subía de 6.Mi preparación ideal de focus RS: 80kg menos, frenos de 6 pistones, roscados, buenas ruedas...y ya está. |

Si fuese verdad esa aceleración (
) no tendría sentido eso que decís. Pero ni de coña es verdad, si el RS500 con 350 declara 5.6 y no lo he visto bajar de 6 en ninguna publicación. Y al RS que declara 5.9 le cuesta mucho bajar de 6, sólo recuerdo una prueba alemana en la que obtuvieron 5.8, en las demás siempre subía de 6.Mi preparación ideal de focus RS: 80kg menos, frenos de 6 pistones, roscados, buenas ruedas...y ya está. +100000000000000 4,9 segundos no se lo cree nadie... 5,8 segundos cómo muchísimo de 0-100kmh !! Los GOLF R, si están bajando de 5 segundos con una preparación de unos 330cv, pero por la tracción HALDEX, un tracción delantera, ni de coña baja de 5,5 segundos...  SALUDOS. |
