Yes, you can also pimp a Ford Transit Connect. And when this is then done so extremely discreetly, as with this vehicle, then the result is all the more surprising. Because this inconspicuous van is a real one Sleeper. The do-it-yourself and/or family van with the chassis number NM0AS8F7XE1145546, which can do everything except the perfect show, is currently on the rise Cars & Bids for sale and should find a new owner in six days at the latest. Because then the auction ends, which incidentally started without a minimum bid. All details about the vehicle are listed on the Cars & Bids car auction website and we have filtered out the most important ones for you. The Transit lost the factory-fitted 2,5-litre four-cylinder and also its six-speed automatic gearbox in favor of a much more attractive set-up.
Ford Transit Connect
Because you have installed the two-liter four-cylinder including turbocharger and the six-speed manual transmission from a 2014 Focus ST. And the engine is no longer in series condition, but has been garnished with a few successful "ingredients". A Mishimoto aluminum cooler is specifically installed, there was a SPEC Clutch "Stage 3" clutch kit, a COBB tuning "Stage 2" chip tuning and also a limited slip differential from MFactory is hidden under the sheet metal. This guarantees that the extra power consistently hits the road and doesn't go up in smoke without propulsion. After all, now significantly more than the 252 hp of the series ST pull on the front axle. We estimate the performance to be around 300 hp. The result ensures that the unassuming blue painted Transit Connect XLT is significantly faster than Ford ever intended. And certainly not intended by the manufacturer were the silver-grey 18-inch Focus ST rims Low-profile tires in combination with EibachLowering springs and adjustable rear shock absorbers from Gazzmatic International.

As previously mentioned, the vehicle was equipped with an automatic transmission. The rest, however, is largely standard. As a result, the one-off is still perfect for long journeys, except that the space available for passengers and their luggage is now combined with a significant increase in performance. Only the ST lettering on the rear suggests that something is wrong here. If we get more information about the changes to the Ford Transit Connect, there is of course an update for this report.
