German Tuner McChip
The stock Ford Focus RS delivers an impressive enough 305hp and 324lb-ft of torque, and McChip had already taken the FWD hatch to a new level with their stage one tune that delivered an extra 40hp and 59lb-ft of torque, but the guys knew they were capable of squeezing quite a bit more torque-steer from the Ford. Hence the Power Stage 2 tune.
When One Tune Just Isn’t Enough
The stage 2 tune includes a few upgrades in the form of an enhanced intercooler, a sports exhaust system, a new intake manifold, and ‘special’ spark plugs. A few engine electronic mods and some re-mapping complete the work to deliver 401hp and torque in the range of 383lb-ft. So you can probably expect to do a donut or two before you get off in the right direction.

Focus RS with 401 HP – by Mcchip-dkr GmbH
Quick as a bird and dressed with sportive elegance – these are the strengths of new Ford Focus RS. But in case of Mcchip-dkr still there is another characteristic to add: it is vigorous like a purebred sports car!
The well-known software tuner from Salzgitter/Germany has perfectly attuned the performance to the vehicle. The result is only uncompromising fun from driving but also full suitability for daily use. The engine, completely overhauled by Mcchip-dkr, reaches enormous 401 hp.
Certainly tuned by Mcchip-dkr Focus RS is an outstanding vehicle in any situation. Mcchip offers two power upratings at once. Power stage 1 transforms serial 305 hp (440 Nm) into comfortable 345 hp with no less than 520 Nm. Power stage 1 consists „only” in software optimization made by Mcchip-dkr, available for 799 Euro, and your car will easily reach the speed of 271 km/h.
However it is power stage 2 for 4,499 Euro that transforms Focus RS into a whole-blood athlete. Power stage 2 gives the car even 401 hp. That is enough to accelerate RS up to 278 km/h without any problems. In addition to that the torque equals to 612 Nm. That means powerful pulling and dynamic drive. The „big” power stage consists in the enhanced intercooler and sports exhaust system, modified inlet manifold incl. tubes, special sparking plugs as well as world famous and in-house engine electronics.
Self-confident and fast – that is the look of the recent creation by Mcchip-dkr, already available…
