The Focus RS

The Focus RS has been around a few years now, the cars following has grown from strength to strength. Owners of these cars have been getting big power from the duratec engine and with its hardcore track derived suspension and trick LSD can put big chunks of that power down on the tarmac.

The Focus RS is a superb hot-hatchback worthy of the RS Badge, it really feels like it was created for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts.
