Ford Focus RS
The all-new Ford Focus RS made its international public debut in the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The high performance road auto initiates the Ford Performance that is progressive All-Wheel-Drive system, and provides class- leading cornering speed, thrilling operation and driving enjoyment that is unbridled.

The all-new Focus RS additionally introduces innovative functionality technologies, and is the initial Ford RS designed with selectable Drive Modes - including an industry-first Drift Style - and Start Control.

Its outdoor layout that is striking offers optimised cooling system and aerodynamics, with 9 per cent and zero lift less drag than the last Focus RS.

"The all-new Focus RS is a critical machine with high performance technology and advanced engineering that establishes new standards for driving exhilaration traveling and trail," said Raj Nair, group vice president, Global Product Development, Ford Motor Company.

The Focus RS is the most recent vehicle to be unveiled within a fresh age of Ford functionality which will bring worldwide more than 12 operation vehicles. These vehicles help deliver the organization 's One Ford strategy for profitable growth, product excellence and innovation in every element of its own company along with pleasing enthusiasts.

Manufactured with a modest team of Ford Performance engineers in US and Europe, the brand new Focus RS is the third generation following versions established in 2002 and 2009, of Focus RS cars.

The all-new Focus RS is the first RS version that can be made for the majority of marketplaces at Ford's Saarlouis, Germany, manufacturing plant starting late 2015 and will be sold in North America.

"We're intensely conscious of the standards we've set ourselves with RS operation versions over time, and rest assured this new auto lifts the game to a brand new degree.

"Just as significant is the reality that with technologies including EcoBoost, we're in a position to show how an initiation that powers virtually every car in our range also can function as the pulse of our finest performance automobiles."

Progressive Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive offers unmatched management

The all-new Focus RS use the advanced Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring to provide a fresh degree of cornering speed, joining excellent traction and grip and managing capacity and driver enjoyment.

The Ford Performance AWD system is founded on double electronically-controlled clutch packs on each and every side of the rear drive unit. These handle the vehicle 's front/rear torque split, and can also command the side to side torque distribution on the back axle - delivering the "torque vectoring" ability, which includes a remarkable effect on treatment and cornering stability.

The control unit in the back drive unit constantly alters the front/back and side to side torque distribution to suit the present driving situation, tracking input signals from several vehicle detectors 100 times per second. A maximum of 70 per cent of the drive torque may be redirected to the back axle. Up to 100 per cent of the available torque in the rear axle may be transmitted to every back wheel.

During cornering, the back drive unit preemptively redirects torque to the outer rear wheel instantly according to inputs including yaw, lateral acceleration, steering wheel angle and rate. This torque transport has got the result of "driving" the car to the curve, realizing enhanced turn-in and equilibrium, and nearly removing lead.

The AWD system has been tuned to provide extraordinary traction - with lateral acceleration exceeding 1 grams - and category-top acceleration and cornering speed out of a curve. With the capacity to reach managed lead wander in the course, as well as inert and flexible limit management; the Focus RS delivers the best fun-to- .

"This AWD system is a breakthrough technology, capable of providing supreme cornering and management in the limit," said Dave Pericak, manager, Global Ford Performance.

To provide optimum driving dynamics, the Ford Performance AWD system was calibrated alongside the innovative Electronic Stability Control of the car's, specifically the brake-established Torque Vectoring Control system that works in parallel - .

Other chassis characteristics that are exclusive include sports suspension with efficient bushes and stiffer spring rates and anti roll bars than those seen in the Focus ST, and two-mode switchable dampers, which offer a stronger setting for track driving. A carefully tuned electric power-assisted steering system, working in combination with shorter steering system link arms and an optimised front suspension knuckle layout, provides linked and responsive steering system with excellent feel.

"The Focus ST and Fiesta ST demonstrated that we are able to reach sporty steering feel with an EPAS system, as well as the RS lifts the bar. We set out to supply fantastic motorists with steering system that's quite direct, accurate and well balanced - as well as the RS delivers," Pericak included.

The exterior design of the vehicle has additionally been developed to support the objects that were dynamic. Aerodynamic lift forces are eliminated by mindful aerodynamic optimisation of the leading splitter, rear spoiler and underbody characteristics, as well as the ultimate layout provides a balanced operation with zero lift front and back for optimum high speed handling and stability.
