Hennessey Has Cooked Up A 405bhp Ford Focus RS
Only a few weeks ago we were looking at a new Ford Focus RS upgrade package from Mountune. However, if you looked at the 370bhp output the package offered in disgust, we have some good news for your power mad self: Hennessey will crank your RS up to 405bhp with its new HPE400 kit.
But, as Billy Mays always liked to tell us, there’s more. In addition to the 60bhp boost, Hennessey’s alterations see torque swelling by 101lb ft to a mad 425lb ft. More than a Ferrari 458 Italia, in case you like pub boasts.
To arrive at these figures, Hennessey uses a recipe involving a high-flow air filter, a new stainless steel exhaust mid pipe, an electronic dump valve and an ECU software fiddle. No word on how fast it’ll make the RS just yet, but expect the 4.7sec 0-62mph time to drop to the low 4s.
Sound good? You’ll need $2995 for the kit on its own, or if you pay $4995 Hennessey will fit the lot and give your car a little time on the company rolling road.
If you want to go further than that, Hennessey does have more tuning parts in the works, including turbo upgrades (500bhp+ RS on the way, perhaps?), flashier intercoolers and fancier wheels.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Henessey Seems to Have overFOCUSED on making the RS have more power
Rip rear differential
Race? Yea its stock RS ( ° ʖ °)
*which will never get delivered to customers because John Hennessey would rather store them at the back of the lot for 2 years until he “gets around” to them. SMH
John Hennessey is a crook!
Focus base (But wait there’s more) Focus trend (But wait there’s more) Focus S (But wait there’s more) Focus ST (But wait there’s more) Focus RS (But wait there’s more) Focus RS Mountune (But wait there’s more) Focus RS Hennesey! (IS THERE ANY MORE POWERFUL FOCUS?)
Make this a meme LOL!
Well any more power and you need a stronger diff and components as the rs was designed as peak power, not like the evo that was given some leg room
Wow, respect, in general, it’s not easy to give the car more horsepower. The Focus generetas much more torque after some mods than it does with hp. Like you see with the Hennessey pack. Ford has a tricky control unit in its RS
Why a 405BHP focus, because mustangs don’t sell bro
omg I want this!!!!!
