Ford Planning Even Hotter Limited Edition Focus RS

Although it is yet to turn a tyre in anger on Australian soil, Ford’s Focus RS hot hatch is already in the early stages of development for an even hotter model.

Don’t expect any serious advance on the 2.3 litre turbo four-cylinder engine’s 257kW and 440Nm (470Nm on overboost) however, with the engine already close to its developmental limits from a factory point of view.

Instead Autocar reveals that Ford will opt to make a track-honed lightweight special, built in limited numbers.
