Probably because it would cost $30K+ over here and there is little to no demand in the "Hot Hatch" segment this car sells in. Case in point the R32 VW is a pretty bad-ass little car. AWD, VR6, can be tuned to 600+hp Here is one with 550hp killing a Supra.

But at ~$33K it costs as much as a C-Class Mercedes or BMW, so it isn't exactly "flying off the shelf".
Not to mention if Ford did bring a 350hp Turbo AWD Focus over, even at $30K+ it would probably do more to kill Mustang Sales than create new market share.
At least, that's my thinking on why they wouldn't bring it over here. I could be wrong. Ford Europe could just hate us
