ALL NEW FOCUS RS
Well, here are the first official pictures of the new Focus RS!
There have been many computer generated images doing the rounds over the last few months but these are the real deal. The 280bhp RS has been extensively tested on the Nürburgring and promises to be an exceptionally capable car.
The man behind the RS project is Ford of Europe’s Vehicle Line Director for Performance Vehicles, Jost Capito. His Team RS development group was behind the original Focus RS, and the Fiesta and Focus ST. Capito is keen to point out that the new Focus RS, “is as much a car for driving enthusiasts as the one before it and classic Ford RS models of the past. We’re staying true to the core RS principles of a no-compromise, affordable high performance road car you can live with. The new Focus RS will have the muscles, heart and soul of a genuine RS and will be exciting to drive every day.”
