New Ford focus RS: full details on 345bhp, 4×4 mega-hatch

The Ford focus RS was one of the most eagerly awaited automobiles for 2016, and it’s certainly lived up to expectations. It’s on sale now, with the first deliveries arriving earlier this year, and we’ve got all the details and specs of this crazy mega-hot hatchback best here.
With a price only just over £30,000, you might not expect much, but Ford has given the new focus RS sports-car-rivalling power with a turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine. This will help it go onto a headline-grabbing 165mph top speed, with 0-62mph dispatched in just 4.7 seconds. Make no mistake, the new RS will be one seriously quick car.
