Cool Saleen N20 Ford Focus

HMMM check this out, a nitrous ready souped up Ford Focous from saleen lol

Pretty limited market if u ask me, considering n2o is illigal, and that car has it written all over it lol. I guess some European places are more leanient on n2o llaws?? I guess its kindof a cool concep if it were leagal.


Im not a Ford fan but it looks decent.

saleen Focus

so that was smart to not actually include the n2o so that it would stay cheaper and less insurance

yah i guess they were thinking, all u have to do is buy the tank and hook it up, keeps the car sale legal... but i think insurance companies would still know its a nitrous ready car... unless u insure it as a plain focus...

read the article, they want it to be a reasonable price lol


“During development we played with turbocharging and supercharging,” Saleen continued, “but our real-world research out on the ‘streets’ led us to a concept we call ‘nitrous ready’ to keep

the Focus at an affordable price level.

And, naturally, the N2O Focus model will incorporate the neck-turning styling, suspension tuning, race-proven aero package and performance-focused interior, that is the DNA of every Saleen automobile.”
