Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) with Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control delivers over 1g of lateral acceleration, plus exceptional grip and ultra-precise handling when you’re powering through corners.

The system employs twin electronically controlled clutch packs to help balance engine torque between the rear wheels to suit the road surface and driving conditions. And this intelligent technology also enables you to enjoy controlled over-steer drifts on track days.

And this intelligent technology also enables you to enjoy controlled over-steer drifts on track days.

In an All-New Focus RS, you’ve got complete control over the way the car drives and handles: on the road or on a circuit. At the flick of a switch, you can change between Normal, Sport or Track settings. Each mode adjusts the AWD system, damper controls, Electronic Stability Control and ABS systems, steering and engine responses, and even the engine sound. On circuits you can select Drift Mode where the torque distribution also helps you achieve controlled over-steer drifts.

The advanced, race-inspired, stiffened ‘Öhlins Tenneco’ suspension helps you keep the Focus RS under tight supervision at all times. It improves road holding and control, helping you feel connected to the road and experience outstanding, highly responsive steering feedback. For track driving, two-mode switchable dampers offer an even firmer setting so you can enjoy the full-throttle thrill of your course.

The high-performance character of the Focus RS is complemented by Recaro sports seats. Ergonomically designed, they feature a signature RS badge and Nitrous Blue panels. Side bolsters will hold you comfortably and securely in place during performance driving. Optional Signature RS Recaro shell seats, with authentic motorsport microfibre fabric panels are also available.

The 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine’s revolutionary technology incorporates direct fuel injection, twin independent variable camshaft timing and a twin-scroll turbocharger.

Tuned and calibrated specifically for the Focus RS, the result is: maximum power of 350 PS and maximum torque of 440 Nm (470 Nm over-boost).

Excellent low-end responsiveness is matched by powerful mid-range pull. And the free-revving top-end is set to a maximum limit of 6,800 rpm.
