The first serial project of Ford's new sports division is the most powerful Focus of all time, which in its third generation brings many innovations. The 2.3-liter ecoboost now drives all four wheels, and with the help of a "twin-scroll" turbocharger, it can produce 320 hp. The world-famous racer Ken Block also took part in the development, so it is definitely an excellent product.
Ford of Europe will put the third edition on display early in Geneva the most powerful versions ford focus, the development of which is with Ford's sports division also participated alone Ken Block. The most powerful Focus of all time performs as expected RS mark, and compared to its predecessor, it also brings certain important changes.
One such is the fact that it will 2.3 liter ecoboost the gasoline engine now drives all four wheels, which the Fords were confused about in the predecessor, similar to the "drunk on the fence". This adds to the weight of the vehicle and last but not least the price, but experts Ford performance teams have also successfully dealt with these problems. Namely, they dedicated it to the new RS intelligent four-wheel drive, where a computer controlled unit via sensors vector torque control, sends the optimal amount of torque to each wheel at all times.
The system analyzes road conditions 100 times per second and distributes the optimal amount of torque to each wheel based on the data. In addition to the obvious advantages in "handling" and driving dynamics, the system only raises the bar on the scale 20 kilograms, which is practically negligible data. With the help of the system, according to Ford engineers, the driving dynamics are even significantly better than those of the predecessor, and the skid limit is set higher, and last but not least, the phenomenon of the steering wheel being torn out of the hands, known as "torque steer".
The exterior looks like it's been given a concrete steroid treatment, and the massive front spoiler hugs it upright placed LED lights. It will only be available in a version with five doors, and there will be special stickers on the side 19-inch wheels. A little further back there is a huge spoiler in the style of legendary escort RS cosworth, which was also the last RS with four-wheel drive, although it is not as drastic (as in the focus RS).
The 2.3-liter "ecoboost" was borrowed from the Focus RS new mustang, but they are there for the purposes of operation in this hot hatch processed. Namely, the European muscleman won "twin scroll" technology and larger compressor and an air cooler that provides better air flow, both of which result in greater responsiveness throughout the rev range and also a better engine sound.
There will also be some new features in the cabin, which has acquired a sporty exterior in accordance with its sporting capabilities, and it will also be able to second generation multimedia units Sync with voice control, sports seats are signed famous Recaro, and the equipment also includes an automatic braking system, tracking bi-xenon headlights and we could go on and on.
