The Mk3 Focus RS is a great drivers car, and has steadily been increasing in value.
Potentially the last internal combustion Ford RS, as any replacement looks very likely to be hybrid if they make another at all which could make this a great investment, or indeed an almost new & fantastic drivers car to be enjoyed.

Body & Paintwork:
The bodywork condition of this car, is simply superb.
We have checked all panels with a paint depth gauge, & can confirm all paintwork is original.
The Frozen White paint gives a great shine, it is without any damage & has had paint protection film professionally applied to the front of the vehicle.
The Mountune decals have also been professionally applied, these look great in our opinion, although can easily be removed if desired.
The Mountune wheels (including a spare) really set the car off well & are of course in unmarked condition.
A light tint has been added to the front side glass, to tie in with the factory rear side glass tint, again this can easily be removed if desired.
All badges, lights, & windows are in fantastic order, just as you would expect.
None of the usual scuffs, scratches, dents or even stone chips are present on the vehicle.
A beautiful example all round.
Interior & Trim:
As per the exterior, the interior is simply as new.
The optional upgraded ‘Shell’ RS Recaro seats are in unmarked condition, as is the (heated) steering wheel, & gear knob.
The RS kick plates & the centre screen even still have the factory protection films in place.
The LUX pack was optioned upon ordering, so the car does benefit from electric folding mirrors, cruise control, keyless entry, rear parking sensors & rear privacy glass.
Also optioned was the heated steering wheel, the shell RS Recaro front seats, active city stop, door edge protectors, sunroof, blue calipers & SYNC 3 DAB/ Nav.
Along with the high factory specification of dual air conditioning , auto headlights , auto rain sensing windscreen wipers, auto-dimming rear view mirror, quickclear heated windscreen, power start button, plus more.
The only change has been the professional stitching of the RS logo to the original factory floor mats.
Everything works just as it should do, the interior of this car is superb.
Engine:
The Mk3 Focus RS created a stir by going back to a 4 cylinder engine (as opposed to the 5 cylinder found in the Mk2).
The new 2. 3 litre, 4 cylinder Ecobooost engine is smaller, lighter & more efficient than the 5 cylinder unit.
It offers better fuel economy, lower CO2 emissions &, in standard trim, more power & torque (345 bhp and 470NM).
With the FPM375 pack fitted, the claimed 0-60 time is 4. 5 seconds, which considering the Focus RS is still utilising a manual gearbox for driver engagement (with launch control) is a very competitive 0-60 time against much more expensive modern ‘hot hatches’ whilst still being a more driver focused experience with the manual gearbox & selectable driving modes – including the much talked about ‘drift mode’.
Sensible Mountune upgrades as follows:
Mountune wheels in original silver finish (including a matching spare wheel)
Mountune two piece front brake discs
Mountune rear brake discs
Mountune V1 rear silencer
Mountune high flow intake kit
Mountune uprated turbo re-circ valve
Mountune Sound suppression chamber
Mountune 380+ software – Details here – Mountune 380+ Software Info
H&R anti roll bars
H&R lowering springs
With the Mountune upgrades as above, this example is brilliant to drive, great fun, with a great noise & impressive performance.
The Mountune 380+ not only give great performance, but it also gives excellent user control, including adjustable launch control, auto blip, flat shift, plus much more – should you desire.
Running Gear:
All running gear is exactly as you would expect of such a low mileage car.
The car has genuinely not seen rain, so the underside condition is superb & as new.
The clutch & gearbox are a joy to use, the Mountune wheels are all in unmarked condition.
A set of H&R lowering springs give the car a fantastic stance, arguably the stance it should of had from factory.
The H&R anti roll bars also help give an even more impressive driving experience.
