Top speed to HP is not a linear ratio.

Without modifications a stock Focus can only go "so" fast anyway because of it's CoD and the 130Hp (1st Gen) it has. Even ungoverned I am guessing it wouldn't be substancially more than 175 kph anyway, I'd say 200 kph would be a struggle and you'd need LOTS of road.

I know for fact took a fair mount of Montana real estate to get a 227hp car to it's governed top speed of 230kph. The first 200 were a snap but the last 30 took a while.

We've all seen that 1001hp Veyron needing miles and miles of perfect road to get to 400kph.
