Description
Overview
Few hatchbacks have made a bigger impact than the second Ford Focus RS did when it burst into our world in January 2009. It wasn’t just the headline output figures of 300bhp and 324lb ft. Here was a fast Ford with the visual clout to put many mid-engined sports cars in the shade. Any lingering regrets that it didn’t have four-wheel drive were soon blown away by the character and delivery of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine and a chassis that did a remarkably fine job of channelling those rampaging horses through the front axle.

Mechanics
The range of modifications from the ST to RS was extensive, the latter benefitting from new con-rods, pistons and crank on top of the usual work around the turbo and exhaust. Drop 305hp and 324lb ft in a FWD hot hatch now and it would be competitive; back then it must have felt ballistic. While there's more lag and a little less willingness to rev than the latest hot hatch turbos, the mid-range feels super strong (thank the extra 500cc over most hot hatches for that) and the noise is fantastic. In case you hadn't guessed. It lends this RS a more endearing character than the four-cylinder cars, the noise more authentic and cultured than the augmented racket in the new RS
