The engines in Team AONs two Focus race cars must conform to WTCC specs, so they only displace 1.6 liters and use a restricted turbocharger. Yet within those boundaries the engine produces about 345 horsepower and similar torque, thanks to British tuner Mountune. The engine has also been canted back 25 degrees and placed as low as possible in the engine bay, for a lower center of gravity.
