World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) competitor Arena has unveiled a road-legal version of the sporty Ford Focus WTCC car.<\/p>\n

The limited-edition vehicle may look a lot like the Ford Focus Zetec S \u2013 it has been designed with that model’s chassis after all \u2013 but it is based on the style and characteristics of Arena’s Team Aon WTCC racing car.<\/p>\n

Assembled as a celebration of Arena’s first season competing in the WTCC, one of the standout features of the vehicle is its sharp Frost White exterior finish, complete with blue racing stripes.<\/p>\n

In order to make the car even more appealing, drivers will also be able to fit the unique hot hatch with a steel sports exhaust system, Yokohama Advan Sport tyres with 18-inch Rimstock Pro Race rims and a sheet of privacy glass.<\/p>\n

Pop open the bonnet of the road-legal Ford Focus WTCC and motorists will find a 1.6-litre EcoBoost turbo engine that is capable of delivering 202bhp and a maximum of 236lb ft of torque.<\/p>\n

Step inside this special-edition vehicle and drivers will come across even more wonderful treats. A carbon fibre trim on the centre console helps to give the car’s interior a sleek twist, while special floor mats and unique sill plates offer something a little different from the norm.<\/p>\n

Mike Earle, team principal at Arena, acknowledged: “I am thrilled that the FIA WTCC has endorsed the new Focus WTCC Limited Edition road car.<\/p>\n

“Hot hatch car enthusiasts I think are in for a huge treat with the Focus WTCC Limited Edition. It is a project that has more than delivered on every target we set for it when we sat down and drew up our aims for a road car based on the WTCC contender.”<\/p>\n

Motorists can already drive away with a great car leasing deal<\/a> if they opt to sample the Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost Zetec five-door hatchback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a mere \u00a3199.99 a month, drivers will be treated to a vehicle that boasts a very fuel-efficient 58.9mpg and the ability to hit 62mph from rest in just 12.5 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
