Highlights
THIS… is a 2016 Ford Focus RS, finished in Shadow Black with a Charcoal Black interior.
- This Focus RS is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report lists no mileage discrepancies in this Ford’s past. It also confirms that this is a one-owner car.
- According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, factory equipment includes 19-inch forged alloy wheels, Brembo front brakes with blue calipers, bi-xenon headlights, a rear spoiler, heated front seats, split-folding rear seats, analog mini cluster gauges, a rear-view camera, and more as detailed below.
- Modifications reported by the seller include a Mountune Stage 1 transmission, Quaife ATB differential, ACT heavy-duty clutch, Ford Motorcraft engine and transmission mounts, H&R rear springs, Godspeed rear control arms, AWE Tuning Track Edition cat-back exhaust system, power transfer unit (PTU) and rear drive unit (RDU) coolers, Ground Control camber plates, and a Raptor Racing skid plate.
- Ford finally brought the RS-badged Focus to the United States for the 2016 model year. Based on the third-generation hatchback, it arrived with a muscular-looking body kit, torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, a drift mode, and a turbocharged EcoBoost engine. Production ended in 2018, and Ford hasn’t released another Focus RS for the U.S. market since.
- Power comes from an EcoBoost 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4, rated at 350 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
