2009 Ford Focus RS - Best New Car
Sunday, September 14th, 20082009 Ford Focus RS - Best New Car : 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’s Vehicle Line Director for Performance Vehicles.
It’s most definitely overdone especially compared to the understated yet superbly (IMO) styled Mk1 RS. But i think Ford was aiming for a more “in your face”, boy racer look with the Mk2 RS, especially after criticism over the “mature” looks of the Mk2 Focus. I also think its to be more noticed when driving one, the Mk1 is barely noticeable to people who are not in the know-how sometimes.

For performance road car enthusiasts, the new model will mark a welcome return for the Ford RS badge. This will be the second Focus model to carry the RS mantle and promises another exciting chapter in an exciting 40-year story that began in Germany in the late 1960s and gained momentum across Europe with the launch of the 1970 Escort RS1600.
