Once the home of MTV’s Pimp My Rides, Galpin Auto Sports is considered a legend in the American aftermarket scene. So when a show like SEMA rolls around, you can be pretty sure that the folks from Galpin Auto Sports will be on hand to be a big part of all the festivities.
For their program on the Ford Focus ST, Galpin Auto Sports claims that the rally-ready race car is "equally at home slinging mud or cruising the boulevard.”
Bold statements, if you ask us, but one that Galpin Auto Sports can definitely back up. The aggressive body kit, complete with a large rear wing, a roof scoop, and various other components seem to suggest that there’s a racing attitude to this bad boy. Galpin Auto Sports also added a coil-over suspension, a new set of green wheels and mirror caps, and larger brakes. further illustrating that their program for the Focus ST means serious business.
Last but certainly not least, Galpin Auto Sports also added a methanol injection system on the sports hatch’s 2.0-liter turbo engine. No word yet on whether that comes with a corresponding output improvement, but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised if it does have it.
After all, Galpin Auto Sports wouldn’t settle for anything else.
