Here’s a wild ride for you—someone took a 2001 Ford Focus and transformed it into an absolute beast. We're talking about a 725-horsepower Coyote V8 swap, turning this once-humble hatchback into a rear-wheel-drive monster that could smoke most supercars on the track. It's got a Mustang axle to handle all that power and enough torque to send you flying down the road with a grin on your face. That’s a guarantee!

Imagine cruising down the road or pulling up next to it on the track, from where you’re sitting it looks like a regular Focus, meanwhile it’s silently ready to unleash a storm of horsepower at the slightest touch of the gas pedal. It’s the kind of car that would leave even seasoned drivers stunned, rocketing down the highway with a roar that’s more muscle car than compact grocery getter.
Now, here's the kicker—it’s up for sale... but for $53,500, or maybe a trade if you’ve got something interesting. It’s not just a car; it’s a piece of automotive art that shows what happens when genuine creativity meets no-holds-barred-engineering.

Now let’s talk facts. On the upside, it’s an absolute thrill machine, blending the unsuspecting look of a Focus with the powerful heart of a muscle car. You’re getting something truly unique that’s bound to turn heads and leave other drivers in awe. Plus, for enthusiasts, it’s an absolute dream come true!
However, this kind of build isn’t for the faint of heart… or wallet. Maintenance and repairs could be a challenge, especially with a heavily modified setup like this. The car’s reliability might take a hit, and insurance could be a headache, not to mention the difficulty of finding parts or mechanics familiar with such a build. I mean its a Ford essentially, but still it most likely isn’t that easy. It’s also not the most practical choice for daily driving, considering its likely fuel consumption and the potential for wear and tear. Unless that’s not a problem for you then you’re golden!

So, while it’s a blast to drive and a true statement piece, potential buyers should weigh the fun factor against the practical challenges. If you’re ready to embrace the quirks and costs of owning such a unique machine, this Focus could be your perfect adrenaline-fueled companion… especially if you’re a fan of the early 2000’s Ford Focus styling.
