I'd want one but the way they chop the thing.... it'd wreck all that fine handling the Focus is renowned for I reckon.

ford racing america made one with the 5.0 cammer motor to show its versatility a couple of years ago it looked horn as all ****! they were thinking of developing it for limited production, but it looks like another ford project kicked into the corner collecting dust.
