Ford Focus RS Pics & Video
Ford fans in the UK are lucky enough to actually drive a 2009 Ford Focus RS. US fans will just have to watch and drool. Europe’s Focus RS features a 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine. This power plant can produce 296 cubic horse power, allowing the RS to reach 0-62 in 5.9 seconds. Top speed will be limited to 155 mph; however, according to World Car Fans, if the limiter was removed the car could easily surpass 160 mph. Not that Fordpedia recommends or condones such an act. Ford added a limited-slip differential, along with tuned sports suspension which limits torque steer, reduced the ride height, and equipped RS with bigger brakes. Ford’s RS features a sporty exterior that includes a black grille, hood vents, a rear spoiler, rear diffuser, dual exhaust, and 19-inch wheels. Ford had over 1,500 orders as of January, with a starting UK price of £25,000.
