Dubbed the RC2 Concept, Saleen had created new body kit and performance upgrades for the standard Focus RC2 concept to make it a much sportier look and feel. For the body kit, it is a custom front fascia, a mesh grille, aggressive side skirts and a small rear spoiler for added stability. And for the suspension package, it is updated with a set of stiffer springs and larger sway bars.

A dual-tipped exhaust and cold air intake is to improve the power of the stock four cylinder Duratech engine. The engine power is likely up around 15hp (11kW) over the standard 143hp (106kW) 2.0L engine.

According to Saleen the car is designed to be sold as a ’starting point’ for tuners to build on, which is why the performance mods have been kept to a minimum. Another Saleen division, SpeedLab, is already working on a new range of performance parts for the Focus as well as a number of other Ford models including the Edge SUV and Fusion sedan.
