We have long admired RS Focuses from across the oceans, and now the formerly unattainable icon of Ford Performance is finally on our shores. In our hands, the new RS already has dominated a comparison test held in Europe against the Subaru WRX STI and the Volkswagen Golf R and has tackled the 24 turns of Virginia International Raceway in our annual Lightning Lap (where it turned a lap quicker than a V-8 Mustang achieved in 2015). But this is our first crack at the car on American roads—and the results were not quite what we expected.ford focus rs 2016, ford focus rs mk2, ford focus rs drift mode, ford focus rs review, ford focus rs sound, ford focus rs500, ford focus rs acceleration, ford focus rs 2017, ford focus rs mk1, ford focus rs top gear, ford focus rs, ford focus rs exhaust, ford focus rs launch control, ford focus rs autobahn, ford focus rs automatic, ford focus rs armytrix, ford focus rs acceleration mph, ford focus rs advert, ford focus rs akrapovic, ford focus rs acceleration sound
