Default Has anyone ever made a V6 Focus?

If not why not?

I'm surprised Ford has never produced one personally but there's probably a mechanical reason why not. VW have often made V6 Golfs, but Ford have never produced a V6 Focus.

Is this a conversion that could be done? Using say a ST200 or ST220.

Would make a nice motor in my opinion.

Any thoughts?

i think it can be done - there's been mention of it on ffoc a long time ago......

it'll fit, but everyting else will have to be moved, and in an accident, you'll get 6pistons in your face/lags/bollox/etc......

tempting tho

RS8 from the states was a kit that made a normal focus RWD and let you put a 5.0 V8 in it. There is a vid of one floating about

most sensible conversion I've ever seen for any car.

The 5.0 is a totally sweet engine!
