Ford Focus (Mk1) RS [Premium] 2002

[RandomCarGuy17]

You may say that this car is quite focused! Okay, bad puns aside. I honestly hope to see this in the future updated to premium status. It was a road version of the Focus WRC that was rallying at the time and the highest tier mk.1 Focus Ford produced out of the factory.

Hmm, the interior doesn't look that different from what's in my Focus.

This is basically what the Focus RS could look like as a premium car, FH2's car models look similar to GT6's premium car models to me.


Specs:
Engine - Turbocharged, 2.0L Duratec Inline 4
Drivetrain - Front Engine, FWD
Power - 215 hp (164 Kw) @5500rpm
Torque - 229 ft-lb (310 Nm) @3500rpm
Weight - 1270kg (2799.8lbs)

Note: If you're wondering, then yes; I actually care this much to drive a well-modeled Ford Focus in a video game!

This is the first time I've ever seen the RS interior, and I love it.

Time for the thread update:

I've made minor updates to the specs (added the Kw, Nm, and Engine info), added a couple videos, and a few new pictures in the OP.

The Focus RS being compared on Fifth Gear to the competition of the time.


I recommend muting this video as it has one of those silly default youtube tracks for some reason.

Voted! Personally, I like more this first gen Focus than newer model

I actually feel the same way; I love the Mk.1 Focus quite a bit. Even the normal ones like the wagon model I drive.
