They'd never in the U.S.
But there is a Focus RS overseas with rwd and a v8 I do believe.
May even be AWD?
Don't care to search for it but you sure as hell can

Why does europe have such a huge ass collection of pretty cool cars and north america gets nothing or watered down versions?

Though we do get extremely cheap prices compared to them, a c5 non zo6 vette is almost $90,000 new in England in US dollars!! A mustang is twice as much too.

You can swap a 4.6 03 cobra engine into a Focus. It's been done, and I believe certain companies make kits to convert it.

Those fuggers are fast, when they get traction.

There a conversion for RWD too?
No sense in all that torque in a fwd car.

yeah, that's part of the conversion. I believe it's an 03 rear end with a custom drive shaft. There's a lot of work done to the underbody and firewall to fit the engine/drivetrain into the car.

I'd say so, would've been odd as **** seeing an 03/04 cobra engine cocked sideways in the enginebay
and a tiny ass tranny sticking on the other end of it.

Why the hell would you put an 03 cobra engine in an ugly pos focus?
