DOCUMENTATION
This lovely mk2 focus RS with lux pack 1 and 2 is now for sale with us and in lovely condition. It has only covered 62, 306 miles from new and only has one previous owner. This car is in extremely good condition throughout. It has had a number of tasteful upgrades including a green airtec plenum, msd remap to 375 BHP with kms sports cat and kms thunderstorm exhaust, lowering springs all round, wheels painted gloss black, airtec BOV and a helix paddle clutch and flywheel. We have had this work carried out in our ownership and has been fitted professionally. It has had its major 10 year service last year including cambelt and water pump, it has been driven little to none since then.
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.
BODYWORK & INTERIOR
This car is in extremely good condition throughout with lux pack 1 and 2. This Focus RS really need to be seen to be appreciated. You would not believe this car has 60, 000 miles due to the stunning condition.
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
