Following frequent demands from both overseas and local customers, Xtreme Clutch decided to develop a unique clutch solution for the 2010-2012 Ford Focus RS. 

 

“Listening to our customers, and making sure we understand their needs, is the first step in every new clutch development project,” explains Xtreme engineer Stewart Furze. 

 

“When we started working on this new Ford Focus RS clutch kit, we knew we would be able to bring a product to the market that many Focus RS owners have been waiting for, and we are extremely pleased with the result”

 

The new Xtreme Ford Focus RS kit is a 240mm single plate organic kit. The clutch replaces the original dual mass flywheel and pressed steel self-adjusting cover with a racing style alloy pressure plate and chromoly single mass flywheel. 

 

The clutch was developed as a heavy duty street clutch for the 2010- 2012 Focus RS 2.5-litre, where the dual mass flywheel is not suitable for spirited driving. 

 

The new racing style alloy pressure plate and chromoly flywheel provide a lighter rotating mass for the engine to work with. This kit is also an upgrade for late Focus ST and XR5 Turbo models running the same drive train. 

 

The clutch kit has been primarily designed for the export market, where the Ford Focus RS is extremely popular among performance and tuning enthusiasts. But local fans of the Focus RS will not be left out of Xtreme’s latest innovation, as the company already announced a limited release of the product for the Australian and New-Zealand market.
