The next-gen Ford Focus RS is going to make its global debut later this year and for the first time in history, the sports hatch is going to be distributed here in the US.
This basically explains why there is an overwhelming amount of anticipation for the upcoming Focus RS. Furthermore, the Focus RS is going to come with all the European safety features as a standard.
This is because the Focus RS is being developed in Germany only. In other words, the entire world will be getting the German-made Focus RS with no tweaking to the tunings.
When the Ford Focus RS arrives, it will be powered by a 2.3L EcoBoost engine that is sourced from the Mustang. The engine is paired to a 6-speed manual transmission only.
