2009 Ford Focus RS<\/h1>\n
\n

BRENTWOOD, July 4, 2008 \u2013 The legendary Ford RS performance car brand is returning in the shape of the exciting new Ford Focus RS, which will be previewed on July 22 at the 2008 London International Motor Show. The new Focus RS will go on sale in early 2009 and is being created by a small team of dedicated engineers, under the direction of Jost Capito, Ford of Europe\u2019s Vehicle Line Director for Performance Vehicles. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before it even turns a wheel, the new Focus RS exudes the presence, sporty style and lowered, \u2018meaner\u2019 appearance expected of a genuine Ford RS. Overt performance styling details mix with subtle revisions to create a planted, powerful stance and the promise of an exciting drive.<\/p>\n

The London show car previews the design intent for a final production vehicle, though as development work continues, some final details may change before volume production begins.<\/p>\n

The vehicle is finished in a special bright green paint with inlaid metallic flake, a striking, modern interpretation of the 1970s Le Mans Green of the Escort RS1600 era.<\/p>\n

\"2009<\/a><\/p>\n

The vibrant exterior colour is contrasted with a number of performance styling details highlighted in gloss \u2018piano black\u2019, including the strip at the leading edge of the bonnet, the deep housings for the integrated front fog lamps and door mirrors with integrated side indicators.<\/p>\n

Front and rear quarter panels have been revised to incorporate wider wheel arches and a wider track, complemented by revised, deeper side rocker mouldings. In another visual reminder of the car\u2019s performance potential, triangular, RS-badged vents sit behind the front wheel arches. Two classic-style bonnet louvres are both a styling hint at the power beneath and a practical requirement, maintaining correct system temperatures.<\/p>\n

The completely new front bumper design for Focus RS incorporates a deep front airdam with a large, mesh lower grille in an extended trapezoid. Stylish and practical, this prominent feature represents the latest Ford ‘kinetic design’ face and also is finished in piano black. Above, chromed xenon headlamps stand out like cat\u2019s eyes and are framed by matt-black housings with unique additional vents running underneath.<\/p>\n

At the rear, a deep new rear bumper incorporates a large venturi tunnel to its lower edge with small vents at each corner of the bumper, emphasizing the car\u2019s width. Two impressive chromed exhaust tailpipes sit each side of the black venturi, creating a purposeful rear view for the car.<\/p>\n

Above, a unique, twin-element, black RS rear spoiler sits at the Focus RS\u2019 roofline, echoing both RS models of the past and the World Rally-winning Focus WRC that has been its inspiration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe it\u2019s vitally important that a Focus RS looks like both a Focus and an RS \u2013 it needs to be individual, distinctive and overt in its performance styling, but it also needs to show a clear progression from and relationship to Focus ST\u201d, said Stefan Lamm, Chief Exterior Designer, Ford of Europe.<\/p>\n

\"2009<\/a><\/p>\n

High performance interior<\/h4>\n

Inside, this theme continues with a unique and appropriately performance-oriented interior, dominated by bespoke, sculpted Recaro high-performance sports seats, specially designed and trimmed for excellent support, even when driving enthusiastically. Each is colour-matched to the exterior, with ebony leather accents and \u2018RS\u2019 and \u2018Recaro\u2019 logos stitched into each backrest.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, colour brings new excitement to the Focus interior, building on the sporty interior theme of Focus ST with more use of accents matched to the exterior colour, brushed aluminium highlights and overt performance styling. Even the rear seats feature higher side bolsters and a microfibre finish to echo those up front.<\/p>\n

The centre console is finished in a stylish gloss, carbon-look trim and metallic highlights abound, from air vents, door grab handles, switchgear and gearshift surround, to unique RS-branded scuff plates on the door sills. These highlights contrast with a black-trimmed roof lining, emphasising the sporty, cockpit feel.<\/p>\n

The driver is reminded this is a special Focus at every touch, with a gear lever finished with a six speed gear shift graphic in RS blue, a sporty, three-spoke steering wheel, finished with \u2018Ford\u2019 and \u2018RS\u2019 logos and even aluminium foot pedals. The performance driving environment is completed by three additional gauges from the Focus ST, including turbo pressure, sitting atop the centre console and angled toward the driver\u2019s eyeline.<\/p>\n

Powerful RS heart<\/h4>\n

At the heart of the all-new Focus RS is a specially developed, turbocharged version of the Duratec 2.5-litre 5-cylinder engine. Significantly revised for high performance, this powerplant is targeting an impressive power output of 300PS and over 410Nm of torque, contributing to an excellent power-to-weight ratio.<\/p>\n

Such significant increases are not simply the result of altering engine management or boost pressure: starting with the Duratec 2.5-litre block, Ford RS engineers developed unique camshafts, a revised cylinder head and gasket and revised intake and exhaust manifold system for the car.<\/p>\n

Although the car is still in development, prior to its launch in early 2009, early performance testing indicates a 0-100km\/h (0-62mph) time of under six seconds.<\/p>\n

\"2009<\/a><\/p>\n

A traction \u2018Revo\u2019-lution<\/h4>\n

Throughout Focus RS\u2019 development, Capito and his team have been keeping a sharp focus on creating a car that delivers excellent performance and traction.<\/p>\n

Various innovations, developed as a result of customer feedback from previous performance Fords, have allowed engineers to keep the new Focus RS as front-wheel drive, with a limited-slip differential, while still achieving demanding targets for traction, handling and steering.<\/p>\n

The new Ford Focus RS is equipped with an innovative front suspension system known as a \u2018RevoKnuckle\u2019, which is designed to reduce unwanted steering disturbance and torque steer, the impact of torque on steering in front-wheel driven vehicles. Torque steer occurs during hard acceleration, cornering or driving on uneven surfaces, when torque on the driven wheels exceeds grips levels. It is characterised by sudden turning force on the steering wheel and can be exacerbated by vehicles with wide tyres and limited-slip differentials.<\/p>\n

In Focus RS, the RevoKnuckle works in conjunction with a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing limited-slip differential. Ford Team RS engineers have worked closely with Ford’s Advanced Research Centre in Aachen, Germany to develop the RevoKnuckle technology specifically for the high performance Focus RS. It allows the simplicity of a traditional McPherson strut arrangement, but with geometry settings that minimize steering disturbances and torque steer, principally a reduction in steering offset.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ford Focus is an excellent base for a high performance car \u2013 agile, responsive and stable,\u201d explained Capito. \u201cWe studied at length how best to enhance these qualities for a high performance model. Our work has shown clearly that our approach in combining a tuned RevoKnuckle with the Quaife differential is an ideal solution for a high performance front-wheel-drive road car like Focus RS.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you would expect, we gave all-wheel-drive careful consideration, but by combining and tuning these elements and learning from Ford\u2019s expertise in industry-leading handling, we have managed to eliminate the weight of AWD from the car and still have been able to target a class-leading balance of traction, handling and performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is a lightweight set-up, that will deliver the right blend of traction and razor sharp controllability \u2013 in a way no one would have expected from front-wheel-drive, and we believe we have made the right choice,\u201d Capito concluded.<\/p>\n
