When it comes to car enthusiasts, Szaman from Poland is a shining example of how passion, determination, and a love for Ford can transform dreams into reality. Starting with humble beginnings, Szaman’s journey began behind the wheels of a Ford Ka and two Transit Customs. Today, his pride and joy is a 2021 Ford Focus MK4 ST Edition, affectionately nicknamed Foka. This blue beauty has quickly become a standout in the Polish car scene, reflecting Szaman’s personality and his drive to make every car his own masterpiece.
Falling in Love With Ford
Szaman’s connection with Ford started early. “I’ve always loved Mustangs,” he admits, and while he’s still working toward owning one, his current Focus ST Edition keeps him fully immersed in the Ford world. For him, it’s not just about driving—it’s about embracing the culture, building connections, and showcasing what makes Ford vehicles so unique.
The Evolution of Foka
Szaman’s Focus MK4 ST Edition is no ordinary ride. With 290 horsepower under the hood, boosted to 420Nm of torque, this machine is fast, stylish, and full of personality. Clocking an impressive 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds, it’s clear that Foka is built for excitement.
What Makes It Special?
Szaman has put in significant effort to ensure Foka stands out:
🔧 Maxton Design body kit with canards for an aggressive street-ready look
🔧 A striking Ford Performance windshield decal that announces its presence loud and clear
🔧 Personalized touches like a black Ford badge and an ST Edition 288/612 plaque in the interior
While the car’s current performance is impressive, Szaman isn’t stopping there. He’s already added an Airtec intake and dual Airtec intercoolers, preparing the Focus for its next big leap in power—an anticipated 370 horsepower after a planned engine remap.
Life in the Fast Lane
Szaman’s passion for cars extends beyond personal enjoyment. As a member of Warsaw Night Racing, Night Drivers Crew, and Brave Time Racing, he’s part of a vibrant car community where enthusiasts gather to share their love for speed and style. One of his most memorable moments came when he first hit 250 km/h—a thrilling experience that solidified his connection to high-performance driving.
Beyond the speed, Szaman has found friendship and camaraderie through his involvement in these car clubs. His goal? To inspire others to see Ford vehicles in a new light. “People often dismiss Fords because they hear it’s an EcoBoost,” he explains. “But I’m here to show them it’s worth driving and celebrating.”
What’s Next for Foka?
Szaman’s vision for Foka is far from complete. Upcoming plans include:
🔧 A twin-pipe exhaust upgrade for a more commanding sound
🔧 A lowering kit to enhance the car’s sleek profile
🔧 Further customization with 17-inch wheels and a bespoke wrap to add even more visual flair
These enhancements will not only boost performance but also ensure Foka remains a head-turner in Poland’s car scene.
A Message to the Ford Fam
Szaman’s journey is proof that with a little creativity and a lot of passion, any car can become a masterpiece. His advice to fellow Ford enthusiasts? “Drive fast and make fun.” It’s a reminder to embrace the joy of driving and to never let others’ opinions diminish your love for your car.
