The new Focus RS: you’ll either love it …or really, really love it. Based on the new Focus ST, beneath the athletic exterior lies a formidable power unit and advanced racing technology. A wider track, turbocharged 305PS engine and advanced suspension mean it will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds, with its performance more than matching those stunning looks. Ford kinetic Design shapes its dynamic exterior, and the exclusive ‘Ultimate’ green coachwork, updates the classic 1970s Ford Le Mans Green – contrasting brilliantly with black detailing to produce an eye-catching, contemporary look.

Ford Focus RS 2009

When I got in this car it looked as good on the inside as it does on the out, the shear excitment on my face was a picture. I set off and it drove like a normal car whilst around town, easy on the clutch and fine on the brakes, then on to the main roads it was opened up and my god it pulled like a train. I haven’t been in such a car that pulled in that way. The torque steer adds to the excitment of the drive, fighting the steering wheel that precision feeling makes the drive what it is. The cornering is surreal and handles so well, the continental contact sports wrapped around the RS rims do the job very well. The brakes are excellent although I would have expected a nice Brembo set up, but these stoppers work just as well. It truly is a fantastic car and for the £25,000 asking price it comes pretty cheap for what it is near supercar for next to nothing. Bearing in mind it is only limited to 155 mph and not able to do the 163 mph stated, for day to day driving or a thrash around Wales it is what it is- brilliant.
