Starting with the design, the look is pretty awesome, straightforward and anything but overdone. Nothing is extra on the new Focus; no scoops, extra grille openings, pseudo aero devices, flaps and as you can see everything is functional. The RS shape took a lot of time and effort on a computer, to the tune of 2,000+ hours. However, this car is one of the few on the road that offers true zero lift on both rear and front axles. The effort has paid off. The 2016 Ford Focus RS has a 2.3 liter 4 under the hood also available in the Mustang. Nevertheless, compared to a Mustang, this twin-scroll single turbo is larger and lighter and the intercooler is bigger. Thus, this one produces 350 Horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. That means 62 mph in 4.7 seconds, reaching a top speed of 165 mph. While discussing the capabilities of the new 2016 Focus RS can go on and on, its best to point out that one thing it has that the other hot hatchbacks don't - a mode that gives the car the ability to drift on command. Watch the included videos to see for yourself.
