The 2018 Ford Focus RS will be available in a single elite Limited Edition model. This model will be loaded with features and advantages that were inspired by the dreams of Focus RS enthusiasts, as shared online in groups, blogs and forums.
The 2018 Ford Focus RS will have an extremely limited run of 1,500 vehicles. While the majority of those vehicles (1,000) have been earmarked for dealerships in the United States, the last 500 will be available for Canadian customers. These vehicles are slated to arrive at dealerships toward the end of this year.
In addition to the traditional Nitrous Blue exterior colour, the 2018 Ford Focus RS Limited Edition will also be available in Race Red. Both exterior options will have black accents, including 19-inch wheels with blue RS center caps. On the inside, the 2018 Focus RS will have plenty of carbon fiber accents, black leather seating and plenty of returning internal technology.
Each model of the 2018 Ford Focus RS will come standard with a front axle mechanical Quaife® limited-slip differential. This new enhancement will enable even more confident track cornering and post-corner acceleration by precisely controlling the torque going to each front wheel. This system complements standard Performance All-Wheel Drive and Dynamic Torque Vectoring.
