A car magazine editor recently took a beefed-up Ford<\/a> Focus around the famous Nurburgring track, and his 8:30 minute lap on the 13-mile run could inspire motorists to consider agile used Ford Focuses in New York.<\/p>\n

To be fair, the RS in Europe has a 300 horsepower engine, and the editor is also a racer by the name of Horst von Saurma-Jeltsch, but the time is only a minute or so slower than supercars like the Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari F430.<\/p>\n

A video of the run was posted on Youtube by Ford’s German media team, and potential buyers can watch it and see how some upgrades can make for a tight handling car over the renowned road course.<\/p>\n

A 2004 model without the large engine or performance aftermarket parts is no slouch, though, according to a Cars.com that highlights the “crisp cornering ability” of used Ford Focuses in New York, and the ZX3 hatchback’s ability to “accelerate eagerly from a standstill.”<\/p>\n

Other buyers may be interested in the ZX4 sedan, wagon variants, or a SVT model that incorporates a peppier 170-horsepower engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
