2016 Focus RS - Premiere Geneva Motor Show
The Focus RS has a four-wheel drive with dynamic torque distribution (Dynamic Torque Vectoring), the much traction and high tempo curve ensures impressive driving dynamics.
2.3 EcoBoost four-cylinder engine with 320 hp in the Ford Focus RS 2016
The newly developed 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in the 2016 Ford Focus RS 320 hp thanks to a cooled twin-scroll turbocharger and direct injection.
