🐒 IMMENSE 5 CYLINDER TURBO SOUNDS! 520HP FORD FOCUS RS MK2 REVIEW

Focus RS Mark II

Focus RS Mk II on show at the British Motor Show in July 2008.
When Ford completed the production run of the Mk I, Ford of Britain's managing director Paul Thomas said "We always knew Focus RS would be a sales winner, but we could never have predicted its fantastic reception and the effect it had in re-igniting passion for the Ford RS brand."

In December 2007, the plans for a Focus RS Mk II were acknowledged by Ford[3], which stated that the Mk II would appear as a concept at the British International Motor Show in London for 2008, with production in 2009. Spy photos[4] and rumors of purported RS Mk II test mules had already been in circulation for some time. On the July 4, 2008 Ford announced the details of the Ford Focus RS that was to be shown at the British International Motor Show. Contrary to speculation[5], the new Focus RS does not have twin turbochargers or all-wheel drive. The Volvo T5 engine was upgraded to produce 305 PS (301 hp)[6] and 440 N·m (325 lb·ft) of torque. 0 to 100km/h acceleration was quoted to be under 6 seconds. The car remains front wheel drive, but to reduce torque steer uses a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing LSD, and a specially designed MacPherson strut suspension at the front called RevoKnuckle, which provides a lower scrub radius and kingpin offset than traditional designs while avoiding the increased weight and complexity of double wishbone and multi-link suspension setups.[7]Ford UK claim: "It’s as close as you’ll come to driving a full-spec rally car.[8]

Focus RS Mk I

The Focus RS Mk I was produced from 2 October 2002 to 11 November 2003 and was Ford's return to the RS badge after the demise of the tweaked Escorts, particularly the fabled Ford Escort RS Cosworth. Production was limited to about 4500 from the outset, and the car was built on its own assembly line in Ford's Saarlouis plant. The RS was offered all over Europe, but 2147 were sold in the United Kingdom, by far its largest market.[1]

Development
The development of the Focus RS was undertaken by Tickford Engineering / Prodrive Tickford in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. Originally it was to be released as the Racing Focus, however after the poor selling Racing Puma, Ford decided to revive the RS badge. Initially the power output was specified to be 222 bhp, but issues with mechanical durability caused the power to be reduced.

The Focus RS was available in one metallic colour, Imperial Blue. The body looked similar to the standard Focus or to the ST170, although the RS featured unique front and rear bumper assemblies required for the wider wheel arches which accommodated the 65mm wider front track. Internally, the theme is blue and black with sections of blue leather trim on the door trim panels, the steering wheel and the Sparco seats which were trimmed in blue/black leather and Alcantara. A green starter button starts the engine. The instruments have a blue background and in place of the coolant temperature gauge, the RS was equipped with a boost pressure indicator (up to 1.5 bar). The gear lever knob, handbrake lever, and pedals were all custom made by Sparco.

All-around performance was equal or better than its other competitors, including hatchbacks such as the Honda Civic Type R and four-wheel drive cars in the same price field. Power was a diminished priority and the handling on a track, courtesy of the front differential, was considered by most observers to be the most important characteristic.
