22 Dec 2017|1,748 views
Forget Santa's sleigh, the Focus RS Red Edition has been unveiled just in time for Christmas. The RS Red Edition will be a limited production run of just 300 cars in the festive colour scheme. In addition to its Race Red exterior, the Red Edition features grey brake callipers behind black-cast alloy wheels and the RS Edition's trademark contrasting black roof, door mirrors and rear spoiler.
"The Focus RS Edition represents accessible performance at its finest," said Andy Barratt, Chairman and Managing Director, Ford of Britain. "As RS production nears its end, we wanted to celebrate with a limited run of cars for those who want to stand out as an RS fan."
The Focus RS Edition has been developed by Ford Performance engineers and evaluated at locations across the globe to enhance the high-performance hatchback's class-leading traction and responsiveness using a Quaife LSD for the front axle.
The mechanical LSD limits the engine torque delivered to a wheel that has reduced traction on the road surface, and redistributes torque to the wheel with more traction to counteract the wheelspin that can hamper acceleration and stability.
By controlling the torque delivered to each front wheel, the Focus RS Edition's Quaife LSD enables drivers to exploit the 350bhp delivered by its 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine in high-performance driving situations even more, and seamlessly integrates with Focus RS driving technologies delivered as standard.
The Focus RS Edition delivers drive modes that include the industry-first Drift Mode for controlled oversteer drifts under circuit conditions and Launch Control for ultimate performance off the start-line - accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 4.7 seconds.
