Blue Oval is distinguished by Performance Racing School Focus Focus Focus RS hatchbacks from the Adrenal Academy.

Before Ford began to focus on old models such as Bronco and Mustang, it had many interesting cars in its range, and the main one among them Focus RS.

During the model, Blue Oval was committed to promoting the excitement of a hot hatch. In addition to the organization of owners’ groups and experience, the Ford offered the Adrenaline Academy through which some RS seat time could help unlock your inner rally driver.

Although Focus stayed in 2018, Ford continued to hang on its RS Navy from the performance race school. Now, however, the brand has decided that it is time to clean up the stock and offer these hot hatches to the public.

The message first appeared through the Reddit thread R/Focusrs, as reports Ford government; However, the RS forums also add a record to check it out.

Anyway, even though it has now been seven years since Focus has left the market, the Ford hot hatch remains a convincing driver’s car. With 350 pounds and 350 pounds of foot rotation from 2.3 liters of turbocharger Ecoboost four lines, it supplies power to all four wheels through a six -speed mechanical transmission and a dynamic torque vector system.

In addition, Ford Focus RS has installed a driver’s chosen sports suspension, several -point roll tape, Recaro seats and fake alloy rims wrapped in a gloomy Michelin Pilot Sport Rubber. It is enough to say that these cars were loaded into nine.

If you look at the comments, it seems that some users have already contacted Ford to get more information. For example, one of these 2016 The cost of models is $ 20,000.

Accordingly, it is worth noting that the value of having Focus RS is highly dependent on the car maintenance. As many comment users emphasize, these were trained vehicles that were regularly arranged through the binding.

In other words, be sure to do your homework and ask the same questions you could buy any other used car.

The Ford’s future opportunity

Although Ford is not uncommon for running outdated park vehicles (Ford government Notes that the company has done so in the past and with the Track Attack Mach 1 Mustangs), the sales time is definitely fun.

After all, the company has been busy lately. Between the Ready Set Ford brand and the newly unveiled headquarters of the world – not to mention projects such as Los Angeles Mustang’s experience – it took a few big steps.

In addition, CEO Jim Farley obviously has his mind because Ford has ruthlessly tried to make the GTD efforts with the GTD in recent years, and he has repeatedly annoyed the idea of ​​creating a Raptor brand supercar.

Can this sale then be part of a larger plan? Obviously, Ford does not need money from several retired hatchbacks, but this step can make the same impression as the Dark Horse driving school (or more).

After all, the company clearly wants to expand its customers’ base too much octane excitement. It is not for anything that the phrase “race on Sunday, Sell Monday”, even today.
