The awesome four banger from Ford has a new 2.3-liter Eco Boost engine that lets lose 350 lively horses and an asphalt/dirt gripping 350 lb-ft of torque. That just makes for great get up and go. You will find out quickly that this third generation Focus RS for 2017 is not quite like anything seen or driven before as you will discover with that enjoyable test drive.
This RS is the better of two worlds in your driving needs. It can be driven quietly, proudly and quickly on your school or grocery runs in the Normal setting; the term “quiet” is used for what comes out of the tuned exhausts in this mode. That Normal slot is also handy in the Focus RS for pretending to be a normal person when dropping off the kids or cruising into the church parking lot. It is so easy to escape from that situation when you place your RS into the Sport, Track or Drift mode. The Ford Focus RS wakes up to a deeper, louder and even meaner sounding tone and your grin reappears. That sound is not just for show as the RS's Eco Boost turbo comes alive. So much fun! It also becomes the fastest Focus ever getting you and yours from zero to sixty mph in just a blink over four seconds and topping off at 165 miles per hour.
You will experience is the exhaust concert that buzzes and bristles with a deeper tone, music to your ears. No more getting away unnoticed. This Ford Focus RS just gets its owners out of those “downer moods” quickly; it just delivers that big time “fun factor” which is missing in so many vehicles on the road. The RS's impressive engine output comes courtesy of an all new low-inertia Twin-Scroll Turbocharger with a larger compressor wheel that pushes more airflow and raw power throughout the rev range. When you slide into those sturdy sporty seats that fit you like your favorite leather glove, you'll see that the RS is also equipped with all the communication and entertainment needs you desire with Ford's highly rated Sync 3 system. You will also appreciate how roomy the Focus is with lots of available cargo space.
The Car and Driver guys recently said: “The Ford Focus RS is a car so special and so emotionally rewarding that it needs no rational justification”. But don't take anyone's word for it and do your own due diligence and take that short drive to Hixson Ford and check out the Focus RS for yourself. Now is no better time to put that “fun factor” back into your drive-times.
