Ford Introduces German-Made Focus RS For U.S. Market

fordfocusrs-01-1

Ford is finally giving the North American market a Focus RS. It will be the first Focus RS to have all-wheel drive, and it won't be built Stateside.

Just as TTAC predicted, our North American Focus RS will be imported from Germany. According to our sources, the Michigan Assembly Plant that builds the rest of the Focus lineup cannot physically fit the RS down its assembly line.

The RS will use the 2.3L Ecoboost 4-cylinder, expected to make 315 horsepower. Two-mode dampers and an all-wheel drive system that can send 70 percent of power to the rear wheels are also on tap. A 6-speed manual is the only transmission choice.
