“A hot hatch with the visual clout of a Lamborghini . . . there was little that could touch the RS’s pace along a challenging road. Driving it you had a sense of its barely contained energy, its urgency and explosive delivery”. (EVO magazine)
On 17th December 2007, after winning the WRC’s Constructors’ Title for a second successive year, Ford confirmed that it would be building a ‘RS’ version of the Focus Mk2. Unveiled in ‘concept car’ guise at the following year’s British Motor Show but not entering production until January 2009, the resultant design was hailed by the Blue Oval thus: “It's as close as you'll come to driving a full-spec rally car”. Although resolutely front-wheel drive, the newcomer’s combination of a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing LSD, sophisticated ESP and innovative RevoKnuckle front suspension meant its handling / roadholding were exemplary. Uprated with a bigger turbo, more efficient intercooler, forged crankshaft and silicon-aluminium pistons, the proven 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine developed 301bhp/325lbft; outputs sufficient for 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and 163mph. Only available in Ultimate Green, Frozen White and Performance Blue, a mere 11,500 or so Focus Mk2 RS cars were sold worldwide (with 4,000 coming to the UK).
Finished in the rarest colour, Performance Blue, and specified with the more expensive ‘Luxury Pack 2’ which added a reversing camera and touchscreen sat-nav to the standard fitment air-con, keyless go and automatic headlamps / wipers etc, ‘RV60 RXC’ is not only completely unmodified but was also main dealer serviced every year from 2011-2023 inclusive. Entering the current ownership via the estate of its second keeper who had taken possession when the RS was just two months old, this highly original and very well maintained ‘hot hatch’ is warranted to have covered a modest 97,000 miles from new. Smart enough to show but also with an odometer reading which does not preclude being driven and enjoyed, this sought-after Fast Ford is offered for sale with book pack, Daron Ford invoices and history file.
