2011 Ford Focus RS500
To mark the end of production for the current Ford Focus RS, Ford of Europe is celebrating with this limited-edition RS model called the RS500. Limited to just 500 units, the Ford Focus RS500 will make its debut at the 2010 Leipzig Motor Show in Germany next month.
“We were determined to mark the end of production for the current and acclaimed Focus RS with something even more special,” said Joe Bakaj, Ford of Europe’s vice president for Product Development. “From its stunning looks to its intoxicating performance, we have no doubt that the RS500 will be appreciated and quickly snapped up by performance car enthusiasts.
Power for the Ford Focus RS500 comes from the same turbocharged Duratec RS 2.5-L 5-cylinder engine found in the RS. However, power has been increased to 345-hp with a maximum torque of 339 lb-ft. That allows the Focus RS500 to go from 0-62 mph in 5.6 seconds with a top speed of 163 mph.
Sales of the Ford Focus RS500 will start in May for 20 lucky European countries.
