2011 360HP Ford Focus RS
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ford/2011-ford-focus-rs-by-mr-car-design-ar108393.html
"About a week after tuning company Anderson Germany treated us to a stealthy upgrade of the Ford Focus RS, another German aftermarket company has taken a stab at their own program for the American hot hatch.
MR Car Design developed the latest in a long line of performance kits for the Focus RS, one that takes the hot hatch’s 300-horsepower output and bumps it up all the way to 360 horsepower. This was accomplished when the German tuning company fitted the Focus RS with a new custom-made exhaust system with its own downpipe and a 200-cell catalytic converter. They also added a new air filter courtesy of K&N, as well as a newly-optimized engine management system.
While the engine remains the same - a 2.5-liter 20-Valve DOHC - the original 300-horsepower has jumped to a whole new level - 360 horsepower - resulting in a car that can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.9 seconds.
It’s not the fastest-tuned Focus RS we’ve seen, but anytime you can pack as many as 360 ponies on a hatchback, you know you’ve got a car that can throw down with the best of ’em."
My question is how a 360hp golf cart can only manage a 0-60 time in 5.9 seconds?

Traction limited..... If they would go ahead and make a 4 wheel drive set up for this, it would be badass.

Sorry... that Foci is sweet. Of course the Ford GT is too, but the wheels look gay. (No offense Jarrod. ;)

I rented a gen Focus once. Wasn't fast by any means, but man that thing handled great. Very fun to drive! Like a little go cart.
