Ford creates the Focus RS Heritage Edition
With production of the current-generation Focus RS due to end in April, a special run-out model has been announced. The Heritage Edition – which is available only in the UK – officially commemorates the Ford Escort’s 50th anniversary.
Outside, unique Deep Orange paintwork contrasts with a black finish on the forged alloy wheels, door mirror caps and rear spoiler. Inside, there are Recaro front seats, part-leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel and carbon fibre trim pieces.
The technical specifications have been improved, too.
A particular highlight is the Mountune FPM375 tuning package that comprises a high-flow induction kit, an uprated turbo recirculating valve and a recalibrated management system. As the name suggests, this lifts overboost power by 25 bhp (18 kW / 25 PS) to 370 bhp (275 kW / 375 PS). Peak torque meanwhile rises from 470 Nm (346 lb/ft) to 510 Nm (376 lb/ft).
Another key upgrade is a Quaife mechanical limited-slip differential for the front axle. It works with the car’s all-wheel drive and Torque Vectoring Control to maximise traction by combating wheelspin.
Just fifty examples of the Focus RS Heritage Edition are going to be built. Each is priced at £39,895.
