So far 1,000 customer orders have been placed. Although Ford has not yet released details on colours choices, around 40 per cent of the requests are for the unique Electric Green shade of the show vehicle. Other popular requests were Frozen White and Electric Blue. Roelant de Waard, Chairman and Managing Director of Ford of Britain said: “We’re delighted by the reaction of performance car enthusiasts to the new Focus RS and that so many want to place orders even though it will not be available until early next year.” At the 'heart' of the new Ford Focus RS is a specially developed 300 PS version of Ford’s Duratec 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged engine. The new model marks a welcome return for the Rallye Sport badge which has played such an important role in Ford’s rich motor sport heritage. This will be the second Focus model to carry the RS mantle since 2002 and heralds another chapter in an automotive story which began with the iconic Ford Escort RS1600 in 1970. | ||||
