2009 Ford Focus RS until closer to launch in 2009, they did release a teaser image of the car that will be previewed in concept form in mid-2008 (most probably the 2008 London Auto Show on July 23). For what it’s worth, our insider talked about an upgraded version of the ST’s turbocharged 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine delivering approximately 280 Hp.
The 2009 Ford Focus RS you’ll find a 2.5-liter turbocharged Duratec 5-cylinder tuned to dish out 300 PS (295 hp) and 302 lb-ft (410 Nm). All that juice is directed to the front wheels — a passport to Torque Steer Hell under normal circumstances. In the case of the RS, however, Ford has developed a front suspension system unique to the car that it dubs,"RevoKnuckle".
The 2009 Ford Focus RS more than 280bhp from the turbocharged five-cylinder engine is Ford Team RS’s project Blufin. Set up to capture some of the lucrative aftermarket tuning business for the Focus and Fiesta ST, the dealer-fit engine and chassis tune-up kits, produced for Ford by tuning ace Roush Engineering under the Mountune name, will boost the standard Focus ST’s 225bhp in steps all the way to as high as 260bhp.
