2018 Ford Focus RS Limited Edition road and track drive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Ford Focus RS Limited Edition is an upgraded version of the Blue Oval hot-hatch we’ve loved since it was released in mid 2016.
It lifts the price tag from $50,990 to $56,990, though additions include the Performance Wheel Package that was previously a $2500 option and, more exclusively, a Quaife helical-geared limited-slip differential for the front axle.
There’s no change for the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine, with power remaining at 257kW - channelled to all four wheels via a single gearbox choice: a six-speed manual.
Ford Australia has placed a cap of 500 units of the Limited Edition, which will be the last hurrah for this third-generation RS.

    I hope Ford fixed the head gasket and deck warping of the block at around 20k miles that have been causing issues. I know two separate people who needed an entire long block installed fresh from Ford due to hydro lock😕

    Ford says it was an issue with the initial issue RS engines, they say the 2nd and 3rd bath of production ones are not affected and neither have any 2nd and 3rd batch production ones from Colonge reported any issues so far

    They were fitted with the wrong head gasket at the factory when built. That’s why they were failing.

    I have one of these and it’s not nearly as harsh as what I’ve heard online.. I actually enjoy the ride a lot. Track mode you can feel everything but what do you expect it’s a track car

    Not even track day cars like Miata Cup car are as harsh as the Focus RS, to be frank Ford has made a mess out of the new RS, I drive a Fiesta ST and its really stiff but Focus RS normal mode is as stiff as ma ST which is very bad to begin with, then comes sport and track which are too over damped The biggest issue with Focus RS is that despite all this stiffness it still has body roll and the car is heavy , weighs nearly 1575 kg , I mean thats too much for a car with such a short wheel base, The RS needs to seriously shed weight, at least 100 kgs to be a proper RS car, as of now its a disaster

    The rs3 costs a decent sum more than the rs as well though. At least that's the case in Canada
