The new Ford Focus RS has been developed by the Ford Performance team and boasts an array of enhancements including new All-Wheel-Drive.

The 2015 Focus will come with a special 2.3 litre EcoBoost engine which produces more than 320PS and will be one of at least 12 performance vehicles which Ford plan to bring to the market by 2020. The engine shares its basic structure with that of the all-aluminium four-cylinder 2.3-litre engine in the all-new Mustang. Output is improved by a low-inertia twin-scroll supercharger with a larger compressor which is capable of delivering a greater airflow than previous models.

“The new Focus RS represents Ford at its passionate best – delivering innovation, unmatched driving dynamics and stunning performance that was previously the sole province of high-priced performance luxury marques and exotics,” said Jim Farley, president, Ford of Europe, Middle East and Africa. 

Ford describes the new exterior design as ‘dramatic and functional’; it is based on the new Focus but features a new front end appearance with enlarged apertures for maximum cooling. The rear roof spoiler features a subtle embossed RS logo and Bi-Xenon headlights which adjust intensity and angle depending on vehicle speed, will come as standard.
