This is the first ever Ford RS vehicle to be sold in the U.S. and will be offered in markets all over the world. Ford confirmed deliveries to customers in Europe will start early 2016. Customers have begged for the Focus RS to come to the United States for years, said Raj Nair, group vice president, Global Product Development, Ford Motor Company.

Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring delivers a new level of handling capability and driver enjoyment, combining outstanding traction and grip with unmatched agility and cornering speed. The high-performance hatchbacks EcoBoost engine shares its fundamental structure with the all-aluminium four-cylinder engine in the all-new Mustang. This engine has, however, been significantly upgraded through a comprehensive package of design changes to deliver a projected output well in excess of 320 PS. The all-new Focus RS also introduces advanced performance technologies, and is the first Ford RS equipped with selectable Drive Modes including an industry-first Drift Mode that allows controlled oversteer drifts and Launch Control.

This is the ultimate Focus stunning to look at and entirely fit for purpose, said Joel Piaskowski, director, Design, Ford of Europe. RS models have always been striking, high-performance cars where function is paramount. This new Focus RS is true to that heritage. Developed by a small team of Ford Performance engineers in Europe and U.S., the new Focus RS is the third generation of Focus RS cars, following models launched in 2002 and 2009. The 30th car to wear the legendary RS badge, the Focus RS will be built in Saarlouis, Germany, starting late this year.
