Default V8 Focus

Hi. Flipping through some magazines in a waiting room yesterday and in a Hot4s magazine a feature of a car show was in it which Ford brought a couple of Ford Focus. There was only a couple little pictures but one of the Focus was fitted with a V8. Anyone got any extra info or pictures on this car? Thanks.

its a kit you can buy from the states. a mate had a look at them a while back but for 30g it was a bit outside his price range. the kit also converted the car to rear wheel drive

unreal idea for a project

Here's one with a 351W. I saw a Focus at a car show some years ago with one of these. Pretty neat. Quite a surprise for a lot of people I would imagine.
