Ford Focus SVT

 

SVT stands for special vehicle team. Ford Focus SVT is indeed a one of a kind vehicle, specially made to give you maximum driving satisfaction. This vehicle offers more performance than other Ford Focus models as it uses specially tuned version of the 2 L DOHC Zetec I-4 engine. The regular Zetec engine gives off only 130 hp at 5,300 rpm and achieves 135 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. The SVT engine on the other hand, generates a thrilling 170 horses at 7000 rpm and delivers a torque of 145 lb-ft at 5500 rpm. The SVT's improved 4 cylinder in-line DOHC front engine FWD is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission. This transmission provides a greater range of gears that allows you to control engine speed precisely.

The Focus SVT was available from 2002 until 2004. It is sold both in US as well as in Europe where it was sold as the Focus ST170. For the 2003 year model, a five-door version was available. It is based on the Focus ZX5 body style and works just as excellent as other Ford Focus SVT cars. The production of the Ford Focus SVT was however discontinued after the 2004 Focus SVT since it high-horsepower cars such as the SVT would be expensive. But the Focus SVT was not totally lost. The 2005 Ford Focus model-line up includes the new ST trim that adopts the SVT's suspension and uses similar well-bolstered seats. When it comes to performance, the ST trim and other 2005 Ford Focus models aren't far enough from the SVT with its newest line of engine that delivers more power and torque than Ford Focus' previous engines.
