Notes
The Ford Focus RS is a hatchback, three-door, five-seats compact vehicle produced from 2016 to 2018 in the Ford Motors Company assembly plant in Saarlouis, Germany. The Ford Focus RS is famous for being a highly reliable daily driver with low fuel consumption of around 10.1 L/100KM. They come out of the factory with a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a horsepower of 215 HP. These iconic machines can go from 0 to 62 mph in under 7 seconds and have a recorded top speed of 144mph.
The price of the Ford Focus RS is around $12000, a very affordable cost for a high-performance RS (Rally Sport), front-wheel drive, five-speed manual transmission vehicle. Other interesting technical specs include Brembo ventilated discs brakes in both rears and back, Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/40 R18 tires, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, pseudo-Mcpherson suspension, and Sparco seats at the front. The Focus RS is considered a top performer in the European rally arena and is a cost-effective choice for drivers who love getting their tires dirty in the mud.
