You Just Got Owned by a Wagon.

This 2002 Focus Wagon is an ex SEMA show car showcasing the engineering innovations of Kugel Komponents, and was a Display Car at Ford Corporate in Dearborn, Mi. Never completed, never driven. It has been featured in many magazine articles, despite having never run.

On the outside, an unassuming 2002 Ford Focus station wagon, albiet with SVT rims:

But pop the hood, and reel back in shock as you're greeted by a 4.6L quad-cam Cobra motor:

But it doesn't end there. It's been converted to RWD with a 5-speed transmission, 8.8:1 rear end, and coilovers:

And, just as a strange aside, I thought it was funny that the title-holder lives in "$h!tier," CA :lol::

It doesn't run, and still needs some electrical and other work done (not to mention oil) to get it there, but basically all the components are in place, and it's almost ready to run. I'd love to know just how much power it makes as well. The sleeper potential is astounding.

Interesting idea..too bad it was never finished. Speaking of performance wagons, I wonder if Ford ever built a SHO wagon as a prototype back in the day..that would have been cool...I guess the '11 equivalent would be a Flex SHO or Explorer SHO..

Word is that Ford and C&D collaborated on a one-off SHO wagon years ago. I've never seen any pictures though.

  • Chevy Estimated Range for Silverado EV Work Truck Raised to 450 miles

    When Chevrolet initially took the wraps off the Silverado EV last year, GM had estimated up to a 400 mile range based on its own calculations.  As the Silverado EV has made its way through development, it went for EPA certification and came back with 50 miles more than GM's estimate.  With this new EPA certification, the Silverado EV has an over 100-mile advantage over its only on-sale competitor the F-150 Lightning Extended Range (320 miles). The Silverado EV will launch first in WT trim with t

    All New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Yearns For Adventure

    The Toyota Tacoma has been the best-selling mid-size pickup in the U.S. for nearly 20 years. Holding such an important place in the lineup, Toyota has been very conservative with updates in the past.  The outgoing generation ran for a full 7 years, but even that was based on a platform that dates all the way back to 2004.  For 2024, the Tacoma sheds the old platform entirely and joins the Tundra and Sequoia on Toyota's new TNGA-F global truck platform.  The 2024 Tacoma is the latest (and final)

    The Ford Ranger Raptor Finally Comes to the US

    After years of being forbidden fruit offered only in overseas markets, Ford has finally deemed the Ranger Raptor worthy enough to bring to the U.S. The biggest reason for the U.S. not getting the prior version was its standard diesel power and the inability of the platform to take a sizable V6 engine. When Ford redesigned the 2024 Ranger (read more about the 2024 Ford Ranger here), they made sure to alter the engine bay and chassis to accommodate a V6. Powering the Ranger Raptor is a 3.0-li
