Its the only compact car you can buy off the lot with a Nitrous kit! Props to Ford for the Kit, but if they were gonna use the Saleen name, why not just do something cool, like give us the Focus RS from Europe...

The Ford Focus RS would be much more expensive. I guess way too expensive for some markets in the world. The RS is more like a street legal rally car not a wannabe "Drag Racing" car like the Saleen S121.

The current Focus RS costs about 47000$ over here, has a 305 HP 5 cylinder engine with turbocharger. Because it has much power and a front wheel drive, they adapted the front axle from the real rally car otherwise the car would not be able to put the power on the streets.
