Ford Focus RS500 Review: A Fond Farewell To A FWD Beast
An Even Faster Ford Focus RS Is Coming To Blow The Audi RS3 Into The Weeds Reports suggest that Ford is plotting to dominate the world of mega hatches with a more hardcore version of the incoming RS. There’s little doubt that few cars can hold a torch to the bang for buck factor of the new Ford Focus RS, but there are still quicker ‘mega hatches’ out there. While the Ford is packing 345bhp and will do 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds, the recently updated Mercedes-AMG A45 hits the same benchmark five tenths quicker, and the Audi RS3 four tenths quicker.
However, if you remember, the previous Focus RS was turned into an even more bonkers version: the RS500, a front-wheel drive car that’s actually a smidge more powerful than the new AWD machine. And according to a report in Autocar citing company insiders, something similar is “under consideration” for the new RS.
