Dropping a comment in as an owner of the mk3 focus rs since it was delivered in 2016. It's now 2023 and the car has been a dream to drive, it's the only car that can put your back out of place and back in again within a 10 mile journey and smiling while it does it! Only 26k miles in that time and has never missed a beat. Though theres a ton of mods out there i've never really felt the need go faster so it's basically standard (with exeption to the gear stick and lower engine mount bushings feeling wobbly) I'm still keeping an eye out for the next RS model, as of now theres no news but likely it we be electric or hybrid.
I'm so excited Ford is producing this new Focus RS for the US markets. This car will hopefully guide the industry towards following the rally trend and strive to make better and more aggressive hot hatches/ rally inspired vehicles. Thank you Ford! (Thumbs up if you agree)! Ford Europe *****
Love this car! My 02 Focus has been a fun driver, and I've enjoyed modifying and driving the car over the years but an RS like this would be an amazing upgrade. Great job Ford! Thank You!
First the internet launch live feed broke then the sound disappears on this vid after showing a glimpse of the documentary at 37:00. Not a great introduction to the new #FocusRS Ford.
sue them then lol. Putting together that portfolio of old RS' and then introducing that documentary? Better than most reveals even with the glitches...
Ford couldnt have picked a better man to do the commentary....Chris Barrie is a great actor, and a real motor head! He was especially good iin Red Dwarf :-)
Are the dampers passive or adjustable? I had a previous generation RS in 2009 and although I loved it, could only keep it a year though as the ride quality was appalling. Spoilt it for me. Love that this car is 4WD and five door. Very tempting......
Yes! Ford is finally giving us what we have wanted for years!!!!!!!!!!!! Simply Amazing to see they will finally offer the RS in the states and in AWD which is what we have all wanted here in the states for a long time :-)
Great presentation or Global reveal for the new Ford Focus RS. Heritage is important in cars, I would say Ford has a bigger presence as well as success in motorsports within Europe over the U.S.A. Most of the cars presented in this video didn't make it to the states, right? That new AWD Focus RS is something special
Really enjoyed the look back at the RS, but damn. I wished I still had my MK1 Escort RS 2000. Right now I'd heading off to Kielder Forest for some good old sideways action!
I can't wait to get one of these bad boys in the states. My dad has owned his ford for 10 years now, I seriously can't wait to get some blue in my blood.
I love Ford's performance cars. I have a f=Fusion Sport and it is a wicked fast car. It looks like Granny's Fusion, until it blows by you and you see the four tailpipes and hear them roar
I hope this car will destroy that ugly Golf R sales .... But I would have loved too see a 5 cylinder engine again that sound from the old one simply was magic.
Finally, a RS for US market. Decisions will be hard next couple of years, I'm a fan of RS, but have two kids now and 2016/17 Ford Raptor maybe next choice
RS200 lap and Ken Block's shenanigans in the prototype really saved this showing. Seriously, this is what I've been waiting for! About time FORD!! And thank you! Hurry up and declare the MSRP so I can give it to you! =D
I wonder if there is any great look at that RS prototype without any camouflage on it. Because a production RS is based on mk3.5 Focus. But that prototype is clearly a mk3.
This will be right around $36k. You guys keep dreamin'... thinkin' that it'll only be $29-30k. The top focus ST goes for $30k. I got my new 2014 Focus ST for 4k off retail for 22k. The RS, will be selling at sticker, for sure...:-( I'll save 14k and keep my ST, thank you...:-) Not knocking the RS , but 14k is a lot of cash.
The motor features a new *low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger with a larger compressor* than the one in the Mustang EcoBoost, and the Focus' engine is accompanied by a much larger intercooler system. Along with a less restrictive intake design and large-bore exhaust system with a noise-controlling butterfly valve, the engine essentially flows a lot more air than the motor in the Mustang, boosting horsepower over the Mustang's unit.
well done Ford, 4wd was the correct decision - so is manual shift :D I had a 5 door 2.5ltr Focus ST and I'm sure this car will be a good step on from that i'll be watching keenly for the launch details and UK pricing
It could be the next best thing, but i almost guarantee it will be an underpowered damp squib! It always is with ford the true fans will love it because it is 4wd and has rs on it! Think i will hang on for the next edition once they iron all the faults out
Finally Ford gets serious, mustang with rear independent suspension and now awd focus rs. It is not only about power, but how to deliver and control it... All that comes noticeable when you leave the straight line and hit some curves...
En algún momento llegará a Argentina? Apenas tenemos el TITANIUM y eso que es producción nacional, veo remota la idea de poder tenerlo. Como muchos dicen la esperanza tiene que ser lo último en caer. it will come to Argentina ? We Just have the TITANIUM and that is national production, I no see the idea of having it. As many say hope has to be the last to fall .
Had to come back to this now that he's passed. RIP legend, you'll be missed.
when you realise this is the last RS they'll ever produce
It's about time the RS makes it here in the states..I need an upgrade from my 02 SVT Focus..
Better unveiling than the NSX

What a sweet machine. I'm so happy with the final product!
Don't know why I'm watching this when this one is already on the road for 3 years.
Don’t know why I’m watching this when this one is already on the roads for 6 years.
Don't know why I'm watching this when it's been on the road for 7 years and now I own one
Perfect and impressive presentation of the new Ford Focus RS 2015. ;))
This was a good history lesson on the RS. Sooooo can't wait for it.
It's about time this came to the U.S.
Nice shots in Colorado doing some high-altitude testing!
I always liked the Focus RS. Can't wait to see one in Canada soon!
That is the sexiest ford focus rs ever
LMAO
Wow looks nice except the grill of the focus
I'm so excited Ford is producing this new Focus RS for the US markets. This car will hopefully guide the industry towards following the rally trend and strive to make better and more aggressive hot hatches/ rally inspired vehicles. Thank you Ford! (Thumbs up if you agree)! Ford Europe *****
I want this now! Great show by the way. Loved all the older iconic RS cars, and Ken Block killed it!
WANT ONE NOW!!!!!
14 downvoters made the mistake of buying a Golf R
Love this car! My 02 Focus has been a fun driver, and I've enjoyed modifying and driving the car over the years but an RS like this would be an amazing upgrade. Great job Ford! Thank You!
Luv it, luv it, luv it!!!! When are you dropping it off?

The road will never be the same....
I wish I saw this live. Awesome nonetheless. I'm in line. Waiting........

Great stuff Ford. Finally a 4WD RS again. Can't wait to own it.
Did they say *Industry First Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD*?
Can't wait for it!
As an ST driver, all I can say is.... damn.
Really enjoyed the look back at the RS, but damn. I wished I still had my MK1 Escort RS 2000. Right now I'd heading off to Kielder Forest for some good old sideways action!
This is surreal... it's like watching TV in a different reality.
I can't wait to get one of these bad boys in the states. My dad has owned his ford for 10 years now, I seriously can't wait to get some blue in my blood.
looks great car will it be avalible in april 2016 when I change my ford ka then for new focus rs
Cool vid its growing on me a bit now.
What is the title of the song when the Escort RS go into the "parking"? It's also a jingle of WRC '98 :)
Does this Focus RS will be available in Brazil?
wow, this looks great
I love your car especially the new ford GT and I,m a fan of the focus rs so this car means a lot to me
How much of it is built in Dagenham UK?
Looks great in the gray.
Nice looking car. Can't wait for the performance specs.
Woot... Time for a trade in!
I love the Capri, Escort mk1 mk2s.Sierra Sapphire RS 4x4 Cosworth.Focus RS, Focus ST.
I love Ford's performance cars. I have a f=Fusion Sport and it is a wicked fast car. It looks like Granny's Fusion, until it blows by you and you see the four tailpipes and hear them roar
Anyone know when/where we can see that documentary they showed at the end?
I hope this car will destroy that ugly Golf R sales ....
But I would have loved too see a 5 cylinder engine again that sound from the old one simply was magic.
Yo, Ford of North America when can I place my order early 2019?
What about the fiesta rs and the mk5 escort rs2000?????? Both fantastic machines
The RS Focus is a fantastic sports car ever. 💓💗💘😆🤗
I was in the market for a BMW 4 series or a Cadillac ATS. I am quickly rethinking that position. Sweet Maria.
Character from Red Dwarf isn't it?!
Guy on left. 😁👍💜
why does the intro with the guy walking in and the music and lights remind of of a game show opening?
Awesome! Going to trade in my ST for this bad baby. Watch out Evo and STi I'm gunning for you.
Finally, a RS for US market. Decisions will be hard next couple of years, I'm a fan of RS, but have two kids now and 2016/17 Ford Raptor maybe next choice
no 2 doors? i love the fuel cap. 26:25 goes well with the lines of the body. not the usual round blob thing.
can´t wait for the new one !
There isn't going to be a new focus rs unfortunately
@@nathant8951 Yeah bro, i know :(
hey guys does anyone know where can i find those sweaters?
Muy buena el vídeo de las Ranger en el lejano oeste
Sooo when can I buy it?
looks good
19:05 that looks better than the actual one
it is the actual one? the warp makes it look more like a soion soooooooo
Nobody could represent a Ford RS less than Chris Barrie, not even a good Clown!
2.3L.. love it nice looks, great techmology and fun. Hopefully it has the character of my Suby, but I'm sure it will be great to drive.
awesome!!!
Sooooo since it's imported to USA from Europe, is it going to be taxed as an import or will it be considered domestic?
How many seats will the car have? 4 or 5?
Just put money down on this car about 2 weeks ago. Very very excited for them to call me next year to pick my options. Gonna own my dream car.
I want one!
lol i like how they edit out when the car straightens out after a skid...
RS200 lap and Ken Block's shenanigans in the prototype really saved this showing. Seriously, this is what I've been waiting for! About time FORD!! And thank you! Hurry up and declare the MSRP so I can give it to you! =D
Damn, that RS is beautiful. Daddy want.
I wonder if there is any great look at that RS prototype without any camouflage on it. Because a production RS is based on mk3.5 Focus. But that prototype is clearly a mk3.
i don't know why anyone would get the new type r over this.
never mind ricer hyped
My grandad had an RS1600!
This will be right around $36k. You guys keep dreamin'... thinkin' that it'll only be $29-30k. The top focus ST goes for $30k.

I had a 5 door 2.5ltr Focus ST and I'm sure this car will be a good step on from that
i'll be watching keenly for the launch details and UK pricing
Hmm. Might just trade in my 2014 stage 2 STI for this... Depending on how well the engine accept modification.
veramente da paura!!! continuate cosi!!!!
Hope one day they team up with Cosworth to make the ultimate version of this.
front of a evo X
finally 4x4!
I hope type R comes with 4x4 too
Good old days
Fords are Awesome.
This vs civic type r?
It could be the next best thing, but i almost guarantee it will be an underpowered damp squib!
It always is with ford the true fans will love it because it is 4wd and has rs on it! Think i will hang on for the next edition once they iron all the faults out
Can't wait for the first review of the all new Focus RS !!! :D
An YES! Thist time Ford made it with AWD !!! :D
Superrrr! :)
💯 Respect ❤
The 2009 Version is still the best looking RS design i´ve ever seen :)
6 years later and it still is! who would of thought a 2009 RS500 would cost £80,000.
Lovely looking car. Not to sure about the rims. Always find myself coming back to Fords
FORD RS!!!!!!!!!!!
My dream!
MK2 owner & lover here
PLS MK3 WRC RS
OMFG, it's Arnold smegging Rimmer presenting the new Ford!!! Red Dwarf foreverrrrrrr.
All wheel drive at last!
Hello, is it possible to have the same polo with the RS logo?
Mick
Finally Ford gets serious, mustang with rear independent suspension and now awd focus rs. It is not only about power, but how to deliver and control it... All that comes noticeable when you leave the straight line and hit some curves...
Meag Event Great Cars
Thank you Ford...I can finally replace my Evo with this beauty.
