The Focus RS will be joined by the F-150 Raptor and the all-new Ford GT supercar to be the three models in 2016 to be added to the Ford Performance U.S lineup. The Focus RS is 1 of 12 performance vehicles Ford will bring to customers across the globe through 2020. The Focus RS’s 4.7 second 0-62 mpg sprint makes the high performance hatchback the fastest-accelerating Ford RS model ever.
