My crazy idea of the day is take a Ford Transit Connect cargo van and take the upcoming Ford Focus RS and mix em together to create the ultimate 300+HP van a Ford Transit Connect RS. Take the powerplant, 6spd transmission, seats, dash,wheels, brakes, and what I could transplant from the suspension(likely front suspension only) and make a super van.

If I came across a large sum of money I would totally do this then I would transplant all the Transit stuff back in the focus so you would have a 1.6L Ecoboost automatic focus RS.

Give it a few years and Ford might do it themselves. They are no stranger to crazy Transits.

We’re not thinking of doing an RS, but close.. we want to create a Overlander without doing any major overhauling.. But we’ve already made our first mistake.. selecting the wrong size tires.. I think this was a rebound/impulse purchase because I was fed up with not being able to slap a set of Wheelpro’s 775 rockstars on the van.

But after the purchase of the Sparco Terra wheels and Maxxis Victra tires.. we drove the van to Arkansas and encountered route 160 through Missouri. and what a rust.. One thing I learned while on our little micro getaway, is that this little van isn’t just a cargo van to haul stuff, it’s a sports car in disguise.

In the image, just added 16x7 Grey Sparco Terra Wheels w/ 215/55/16 Maxxis Victra Tires. Slow but sure, We’re finding time to add just a few items then and now.. but this could all change come spring/summer 2016. I think will have something allot of TC owners might be interested in. *Cross Fingers*
