Ford Focus RS specs

Hi @RickyAstle98 do you also have the Sport Auto supertest (01/2017) for this car? And if so, can you provide the scans over here?
Many Thanks

🤣 wrong this car does 13.9@104 not 13.1 Never!. Thats also with aswome condition and grwat DA and great shifter and using launch controle. This site is inaccurate. Also Ford rates there vehicle on the crank its alot less than 350HP bone stock it dynos 280WHP 🤣 curb weight is 3500lbs its heavy.

you can see the focus losing time at every gear shift compared to the golf

Well if you're going to go ALL the way, your Ford Focus, it might look like this!

A good friend of mine has one of these tuned up to 440hp - when its in gear it almost feels as fast as my rs7 in the straights and around corners its amazing - this car is so nearly the most perfect car. The only slight slight annoyance is the turning circle but other than that i really really want one as a third car

Top Gear Lap time is 1:26.44

In the US this was declared officially by Ford as a full-350hp beast.

This is a very seriously NASTY (as in extremely very good) little car. It's very hard to convey to those car enthusiasts from foreign countries just how passionate the English are about Ford. So I won't, you either know or don't. I'm just saying! But it goes back to atleast the MK1 Escort as we're just as mad on production rallying specials like the RS Escort.

Anyway haven't even really looked at this one much at all. I've seen enough orange ST Focus cars but this one is an enigma.

And four wheel drive? Instantly puts itself on a higher technologically advanced plane.

0 to 60 4.6 good, wait what!?!? 1/4 mile 13.2 NO what the **** a subaru wrx sti does that and only has 300hp and weighs like focus rs. Problem with focus rs maxium hp is achived with 94 octain or 95. But its more 1/4 12.5-12.8 Not 13.2 haha what a joke

is it the case that the focus 3 rs is an engine dud with all these repairs it needs
most other hot hatches have no engine problems like this car.

The mk3 focus rs is a pile of engine crap

I couldn’t give a shit, I wanted an RS so I got one. End of????

Focus RS did a 1:38.45 at Winton Circuit National
Motor magazine australia has the video uploaded in youtube as well

If you care about drag races with this kind of car your're a special kind of retarded.

that carwow test has the worst drivers ever

Always choose the best!

So only 2.8 seconds slower than an F type R at Virginia. Incredible handling when you consider the difference in acceleration.

40k? Pffft I spent double that when I drove my F40 too fast over a speed bump in Orangeville! Some of the doors in my Castle in Scotland and Chateau in Transylvania cost half that alone lolololol. Not too mention my 900 square meter cabin on a huge cliff overlooking Lake Nipigon. I was hanging out with the Shark Greg Norman one time and I says Cripes Norman you call that tiny flat space on your yacht a landing pad....LMAO.

Civic type r....
7 minutes 43 seconds ooft get it up yer. Honda till I die

Looks is in the eye of the beholder, if you dont like looks fine, its just your personal opinion
Now the Focus RS is fast enough for a 1590 kg car,
Also the RS usually shows 286-290 bhp on wheels during run in or first 10000 kms,
After that it will open up and post that dynos show 305-310 bhp on wheels, typically AWD cars have 13-15% loss in dyno, adding that its exactly 350 HP or 345 bhp.

the front of the focus rs will just suck insects up in summer, it is such an ugly car. and its not that fast ,over rated hp too

https://youtu.be/A1TkR5mLwUM this is the best review that I have seen of the RS

....A Focus RS or Golf R is definitely not low key, Specially if your a car guy/girl. Hell if one is a car guy can any stock car actually be lowkey?..

The focus rs is a bit flash. I like the dullness and low keyness of the golf R.

wint
Frankly no turbo charged engine is good above 5000 rpm, exceptions seen are Golfs 2.0 TSi and Type Rs 2.0 iVtec turbo. Renaults ,PSA,Nissan,BMW all other 2.0 turbos I have driven felt soft post 5000 rpm,

I drive a Fiesta ST and even in Fiesta ST progress past 5000 rpm is slow.

Now I agree it has drag, but the bigger issue for not accelarating post 110 mph is
1. High kerb weight in short wheel base
2. The GKN, RDU dosent decouple fully like in some other AWD systems, so there is the AWD system drag along with the differential limitation, thats the reason why its accelsration is poor post 100 mph,
