2012 Ford Focus ST by M&J Enterprises

Of the five programs for the Ford Focus ST being readied for the 2012 SEMA Auto Show, the one being prepared by M&J Enterprises just might be the most impressive.

Nevertheless, the early returns on the M&J Enterprises tuned Ford Focus ST are quite impressive. The M&J team formulated a partnership between Ford, Cosworth LLC and Ford Racing to boost the Focus ST’s power by more than 30 percent, and torque by almost 20 percent. To accomplish this, the entire team relied on Ford Racing engine and suspension modifications combined with Cosworth specified wheels and tires to increase the output from the car’s 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine from 250 horsepower to 330 horsepower and about 318 lb/ft of torque.

From there, the aftermarket company added a Tangerine Scream paint finish with subtle graphics, including "Cosworth CS 330" on the sides, to signal an appreciative nod to an authentic motorsports heritage. There’s also a new aerodynamic kit that includes a vented hood, a huge rear wing, plenty of carbon fiber details on the exterior and interior, and a new set of Cosworth wheels. There’s also new suspension components courtesy of Ford Racing and as the added garnish to the pie, a number of graphic decals and stripes all over the sports hatch.
