DOCUMENTATION
This is our stunning Ford Focus RS in Frozen White with only 5, 508 miles from new with good service history, it has 6 stamps in the book and has just had its 10 year service which includes the cambelt and water pump. This car has been extremely well looked after and needs to be seen to be appreciated as the photos just don’t do it enough justice. The car is completely standard which is becoming hard to find now with these Focus RS’s and especially with this milage.
BODY WORK AND INTERIOR
This Focus RS is in stunning condition both inside and out and with only 5, 508 miles from new, so as you can imagine there is not a mark on this car, it really needs to be seen to be appreciated.
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.
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.
