RS uses an uprated version of the new Mustang engine turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder 2.3-liter, transversely mounted and provide "well in excess" of 315 horsepower.The 2.3-liter engine has been substantially modified from the version that powers the Mustang, with a low inertia twin-scroll turbocharger The new and larger intercooler, along with a revised cylinder head and strong iron cylinder liners. Taken together, that we think that the finished car can produce more than 325 horsepower-maybe a little more. (For reference, the last RS Focus sold in Europe with a factory-backed increase in Mountune optional pushing power to 345 horses.) The number of significant others we do not have yet is the weight of the RS. Most of the additional system four-wheel-drive means RS is certain to tip the scales at more than £ 3,234 of our long-term Focus ST.When was not washed away, the smart RS chassis is said to be capable of producing more than 1.0 g of lateral acceleration. Springs, bushings, and anti-roll bar all rigid than in the Focus ST, the RS also gets a two-stage switchable dampers and an electric power-steering system back again. Michelin has developed special tires for cars, and you'll have your choice of Pilot Super Sport rubber or line focuses Pilot Sport Cup.
Two of the first generation of the Focus RS are sold mainly in Europe and never got to the US, but the new car is the victim of a truly global and will be coming to America. Engineered by the newly launched Ford Performance division which also did the Ford GT, the RS will be built in Saarlouis factory in Germany, where production is set to begin at the end of the year. The first RS will reach US Shores sometime next year; Ford became very coy about a certain time, let alone the price. Meanwhile, we have to get more details about Ford's hottest hatch at the Geneva auto show in March.
