For the first time in history, the Ford Focus RS will being make its way to the States for the 2016 model year. Highly praised by Ford fans worldwide, the 2016 Focus RS is just the hot hatch American car enthusiasts have been waiting for. The third-generation model set to make its debut in the U.S. will feature an aggressive, athletic design and high-end performance that will make it one of the most fun-to-drive cars on the market. When it's released to the public later this year, Town East Ford will be your local destination for the brand-new model.
From the time you lay your eyes on the 2016 Ford Focus RS, you can tell it's much greater than your average hatchback. The model sports a muscular design with distinct lines, a robust trapezoidal grille and rear spoiler that falls in line with the car's strong aesthetic. This athletic theme is further carried out with the addition of a brand-new all-wheel-drive system equipped with dynamic torque vectoring control, which provides excellent traction, handling and cornering stability. It works in conjunction with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine, delivering more than 315 horsepower, to make the Focus RS fast and capable of handling a track with ease, providing high-speed fun for drivers.
