“A hot hatch with the visual clout of a Lamborghini . . . there was little that could touch the RS’s pace along a challenging road. Driving it you had a sense of its barely contained energy, its urgency and explosive delivery”. (EVO magazine)
On 17th December 2007, after winning the WRC’s Constructors’ Title for a second successive year, Ford confirmed that it would be building a ‘RS’ version of the Focus Mk2. Unveiled in ‘concept car’ guise at the following year’s British Motor Show but not entering production until January 2009, the resultant design was hailed by the Blue Oval thus: “It’s as close as you’ll come to driving a full-spec rally car”.
The third generation Focus RS was the modern fast Ford that finally brought all-wheel drive back into the line-up. Ford previewed the third generation facelifted model at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The updated version featured a new front end design, incorporating Ford’s new family grille and slimline headlights. Fitted with the 2. 3-litre turbocharged EcoBoost in-line 4 cylinder that was shared with the Mustang of the time, its clever four wheel drive system sent up to 70 per cent of torque rearward, with Dynamic Torque Vectoring and a genuine Drift mode. The result is incredible pace with a playful streak that placed it right in the mix with the Golf R, Audi RS3 and Mercedes-AMG A45 of the time. All this and it’s still a practical five-door hatch with good boot space and creature comforts, what’s not to love?
This RS has been uprated with Mountune Performance parts and registers just c. 38, 000 miles on the odometer. Described as being in good overall condition and sounding well on consignment, it is offered with history file, current MOT to March 2027 and current Swansea V5C.
