In a matter of months from now, Ford will be looking to launch the next-gen Focus RS. This upcoming vehicle is going to come out with so much power to offer from its 2.3L EcoBoost engine that is sourced from the Mustang.
Even so, the Focus RS won’t be performing like the American stallion since it is being built by Germans. The car promises 345hp and the ponies are operated on a 6-speed manual transmission. Also, the next-gen Focus RS will be driven on the AWD system.
This basically explains why many Focus lovers here in the US are eager to get behind the wheel of the future Focus RS. The sports hatch simply has a different flavour to offer. We can only know for sure once the Focus RS gets released later this year.
