Ford has revealed that its AWD hyper hatch, the Focus RS, will be able to sprint from zero to 100km/h in just 4.7 seconds, making it faster than virtually all of its segment competitors - and then some.
The Volkswagen Golf R hits 100km/h in five seconds flat in automatic form (5.2 seconds with the standard six-speed manual), while the Subaru WRX STI is a tenth quicker at 4.9 seconds.
Though it's not the fastest hot hatch outright (the Audi RS 3 and AMG A 45 are quicker), the Focus RS does manage to beat its RWD stablemate the Mustang, which runs to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds in basic V8 form.
When it comes to making a quick getaway, the Focus RS' AWD driveline is hard to beat.
