Perhaps it’s down to Ken Block, but it seems that America is really embracing European performance Fords at the moment. It doesn’t really come as a surprise then that all-American company Fidanza has just released a lightweight flywheel for the Ford Focus ST.
The flywheel is made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum and weighs in at around 9.5lbs (approx. 4.3 kilos).
The addition of a Fidanza lightweight flywheel delivers the following benefits…
• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
• Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses)
• Smoother, faster shifting
• Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
• Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
• Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – no need to replace
entire flywheel when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
• Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)
The flywheel can be ordered as part number 186121 and retails at US$546.12 plus shipping and import tax.
