Cosworth Ford Focus
I have just found this on the Cosworth Page http://www.cosworth.com/ look under Sales then Performance parts.
If you look on the left you can see Levels of tune and the pages where updated on March 9, 2005 that’s only a week old.
What do you make of this
Possibly the coolest partnership in the motoring world, Ford and Cosworth have worked together to create a range of parts to allow Focus fans to build their own Focus Cosworth.
The relationship between Ford and Cosworth goes back almost 40 years – it officially began in 1966 when Ford asked Cosworth to develop an engine for Formula One. The result was the Ford-Cosworth DFV, the single most successful engine in the history of motorsport.
But it’s not only in motorsport where Cosworth’s expertise is legendary. In Europe, the only cars ever to wear the Cosworth badge have been Fords, from the Sierra Cosworth, Sapphire Cosworth and Escort Cosworth ranges. These cars, produced in the 1980s and 1990s, brought supercar performance to the ordinary car buyer.
And it’s this thinking that’s behind the creation of a brand new range of power upgrade parts for the Ford Duratec 2.3-litre engine, called the d-Power range. Developed as part of the Ford Racing Performance Parts range for the Focus, the Cosworth d-Power packages offer three levels of engine performance over stock; Level 1 adds 27bhp to the base engine’s figure, Level 2 produces 200bhp and Level 3 gives out an anticipated 230bhp, enabling Ford Focus owners to build their own Cosworth Focus, with genuine Focus RS-beating performance.
To demonstrate what is possible, Cosworth has built a European-inspired, d-Power’d Focus project car. The car features the very best kit from the USA as well as Europe and is the first car that can be considered a Cosworth Ford Focus. The Cosworth Focus sports an RS-look body kit in Snap orange paint and OZ RS-style wheels, Michelin tyres and monster Brembo brakes (an identical combination to the awesome Ford Focus WRCs), lowered Tein suspension and a set of Ford Racing sway bars. Inside, there is a pair of Reverie double-skinned carbonfibre seats, a hollow carbon steering wheel and gearknob, a Pi Xpress dash system, Schroth harnesses and a Cosworth fabricated roll cage, in polished stainless steel.
Under the bonnet is a development version of the very top level of the d-Power system, Level 3. When launched in November 2004, this should help the engine to produce in excess of 230bhp in naturally aspirated form. Expect to see more of the first Cosworth Focus soon.
Cosworth would like to thank the following for their invaluable help in building the first Cosworth Ford Focus:

On the Ford Racing website it has been announced for some time that 3 levels of performance upgrades would be available for the Duratec engine.
Great that its here as an option
, but shame it isnt a comprehensive tuned package 
PS... Is the Duratec 2.3 available in the UK?
