Ford Focus RS Starts at $36,605 In Spring 2016

The all-new Ford Focus RS with a new 350 horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine distributing torque through the all-wheel-drive system will sprint from 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 165 mph. Focus RS drivers can select from four different drive modes that configure the all-wheel-drive system, damper controls, electronic stability control, steering and engine responses, and exhaust sound to deliver optimum performance in road or circuit driving conditions. Normal, sport or track settings are available, along with a special drift mode to help the driver achieve controlled oversteer drifts at the track. For North America, Focus RS pricing will start at $36,605 in Spring 2016.

All-New Ford Focus RS Coming From Germany Later This Year

The all-new third generation high-performance Ford Focus RS will have an all-wheel drive system with Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control based on twin electronically controlled clutch packs on each side of the rear drive unit and powered by a new all-aluminum 315-plus horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine mated to a six speed manual transmission. Increased output is generated by a new low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger with larger compressor that delivers significantly greater airflow, along with a much bigger intercooler to maximize charge density. The all-new Focus RS will be sold around the world, including the United States, and produced for all markets at Ford’s Saarlouis, Germany, manufacturing plant beginning late this year.
