2018 Ford Focus RS engine and drivetrain features

It’s almost uncanny, really, how the 2018 Focus RS can inspire so much awe and excitement every time you press the gas. It’s able to do this because of an ultra-powerful 2.3-litre EcoBoost® Inline-4 engine under the hood, which can produce upwards of 350 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.

That only scratches the surface of the Focus RS’s capability, however, as you’ll also be treated to some of the top performance features that the market has to offer, all standard! We’ve listed the highlights below:

Torque Vectoring Control
Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive
Unique RS Driver Selectable Drive Modes and Sport Suspension
Front Axle Quaife® Limited Slip Differential
6-speed manual transmission

2018 Ford Focus RS 0-100 time and top speed

All this innovation allows the 2018 Focus RS to be quite the speedy model. In fact, it can race from 0-100 km in only around 4.6 seconds! This translates to an advertised top speed of 265 kilometers per hour, but a more realistic expectation is around 233 km/h. Even so, that’s plenty to get the blood pumping on those tempting straightaways.
