Focus RS: 340 hp of pure power thanks to Graham Goode Racing

If there is one thing that defines the Focus RS it is its power; it has never lacked it. And since you can never have too much power, one of the most important specialists in the Focus RS, Graham Goode Racing, has decided to squeeze even more out of the 2.5-litre turbo engine in the RS, extracting 40 hp more and leaving the RS model with 340 hp.

The upgrade consists of an improved ECU, developed by Superchips, the company specialised in engine chips. Graham Goode Racing offers a one-year warranty, but the best part of the upgrade is that current owners of any RS can purchase it for a relatively affordable price of around €500.

The owner doesn’t have to worry about dismantling anything; it simply involves reprogramming the electronic control unit by modifying the fuel management software to enrich the mixture. In addition to the 40 hp, the ECU reprogramming adds 99 Nm of extra torque, bringing the total to 538 Nm at 3,100 rpm.
