The term identifies a specific aesthetic and performance modification applied to the Ford Focus RS. This modification involves extending the vehicle’s body panels, primarily the fenders or quarter panels, to accommodate a wider track width and, frequently, larger wheels and tires. An example would be a standard Ford Focus RS that has had its original body panels replaced or augmented with wider replacements, allowing for increased tire size and a more aggressive stance.
This type of alteration is often undertaken to improve handling characteristics and overall performance, particularly on a track or in competitive driving environments. The widened track enhances stability and cornering grip. Furthermore, the customization often represents a visual upgrade, imbuing the vehicle with a more imposing and unique presence. Historically, such modifications have been a staple in motorsports and automotive enthusiast circles seeking both functional and aesthetic enhancements.
