Seemingly in an effort to solidify its place in the world of hot hatchbacks, Ford's released an all-new one -- the Focus RS -- for the 2016 model year.
So, as such, we at Muscatell Burns Ford thought we'd provide you with a closer look at it today. Team up with Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, to discover that which the Focus RS brings to the table:
Beneath the bonnet of this beast, a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with a six-speed manual gearbox. Served up standard with a specialized all-wheel-drive platform, overall output for the Focus RS checks in at a colossal 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.
Capable of putting down the 0-to-60 mph dash in a dizzying 4.7 seconds, it's quite clear that the Focus RS is much more than some humdrum hatch. To us, it's a bona fide performance pony.
