2017 Ford Focus RS500 Spied

It appears Ford engineers are not quite satisfied with the new 257kW/440Nm Focus RS after a beefed up Focus was spotted testing around the Nurburgring in Germany.

Spy photographers reveal the RS sporting a more aggressive bonnet that now features purposeful looking cooling vents. Early reports have suggested that the vehicle spotted testing may in fact be the next track-ready Ford Focus RS500.

Subtle differences such as a larger intercooler and the aforementioned bonnet vents hint that the test car may feature engine modifications that require extra cooling for the already punchy 2.3-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged plonk. The six speed manual focus is already capable of 0-100km/h in 4.6sec, an increase in power and the addition of a dual clutch gearbox could make this the fastest accelerating hatch back on the market.
