Had to come back to this now that he's passed. RIP legend, you'll be missed.

when you realise this is the last RS they'll ever produce

It's about time the RS makes it here in the states..I need an upgrade from my 02 SVT Focus..

Better unveiling than the NSX

Dropping a comment in as an owner of the mk3 focus rs since it was delivered in 2016. It's now 2023 and the car has been a dream to drive, it's the only car that can put your back out of place and back in again within a 10 mile journey and smiling while it does it! Only 26k miles in that time and has never missed a beat. Though theres a ton of mods out there i've never really felt the need go faster so it's basically standard (with exeption to the gear stick and lower engine mount bushings feeling wobbly) I'm still keeping an eye out for the next RS model, as of now theres no news but likely it we be electric or hybrid.

What a sweet machine. I'm so happy with the final product!

Perfect and impressive presentation of the new Ford Focus RS 2015. ;))

I want this now! Great show by the way. Loved all the older iconic RS cars, and Ken Block killed it!

Nice shots in Colorado doing some high-altitude testing!

Don't know why I'm watching this when this one is already on the road for 3 years.

This was a good history lesson on the RS. Sooooo can't wait for it.

That is the sexiest ford focus rs ever

I always liked the Focus RS. Can't wait to see one in Canada soon!

It's about time this came to the U.S.

Muy buena el vídeo de las Ranger en el lejano oeste

WANT ONE NOW!!!!!

Love this car! My 02 Focus has been a fun driver, and I've enjoyed modifying and driving the car over the years but an RS like this would be an amazing upgrade. Great job Ford! Thank You!

Luv it, luv it, luv it!!!! When are you dropping it off?

First the internet launch live feed broke then the sound disappears on this vid after showing a glimpse of the documentary at 37:00. Not a great introduction to the new #FocusRS Ford.

What is the title of the song when the Escort RS go into the "parking"? It's also a jingle of WRC '98 :)

This is surreal... it's like watching TV in a different reality.

I wish I saw this live. Awesome nonetheless. I'm in line. Waiting........

Can't wait for it!

Cool vid its growing on me a bit now.

14 downvoters made the mistake of buying a Golf R

The road will never be the same....

Great stuff Ford. Finally a 4WD RS again. Can't wait to own it.

What about the fiesta rs and the mk5 escort rs2000?????? Both fantastic machines

I'm so excited Ford is producing this new Focus RS for the US markets. This car will hopefully guide the industry towards following the rally trend and strive to make better and more aggressive hot hatches/ rally inspired vehicles. Thank you Ford! (Thumbs up if you agree)! Ford Europe *****

Anyone know when/where we can see that documentary they showed at the end?

Yo, Ford of North America when can I place my order early 2019?

looks great car will it be avalible in april 2016 when I change my ford ka then for new focus rs

Ford couldnt have picked a better man to do the commentary....Chris Barrie is a great actor, and a real motor head! He was especially good iin Red Dwarf :-)

Awesome! Going to trade in my ST for this bad baby. Watch out Evo and STi I'm gunning for you.

Really enjoyed the look back at the RS, but damn. I wished I still had my MK1 Escort RS 2000. Right now I'd heading off to Kielder Forest for some good old sideways action!

Great presentation or Global reveal for the new Ford Focus RS. Heritage is important in cars, I would say Ford has a bigger presence as well as success in motorsports within Europe over the U.S.A. Most of the cars presented in this video didn't make it to the states, right? That new AWD Focus RS is something special

Nice looking car. Can't wait for the performance specs.

I love your car especially the new ford GT and I,m a fan of the focus rs so this car means a lot to me

As an ST driver, all I can say is.... damn.

wow, this looks great

Woot... Time for a trade in!

hey guys does anyone know where can i find those sweaters?

How much of it is built in Dagenham UK?

why does the intro with the guy walking in and the music and lights remind of of a game show opening?

Looks great in the gray.

Yes! Ford is finally giving us what we have wanted for years!!!!!!!!!!!! Simply Amazing to see they will finally offer the RS in the states and in AWD which is what we have all wanted here in the states for a long time :-)

2.3L.. love it nice looks, great techmology and fun. Hopefully it has the character of my Suby, but I'm sure it will be great to drive.

I love the Capri, Escort mk1 mk2s.Sierra Sapphire RS 4x4 Cosworth.Focus RS, Focus ST.

Are the dampers passive or adjustable? I had a previous generation RS in 2009 and although I loved it, could only keep it a year though as the ride quality was appalling. Spoilt it for me. Love that this car is 4WD and five door. Very tempting......

no 2 doors? i love the fuel cap. 26:25 goes well with the lines of the body. not the usual round blob thing.

Does this Focus RS will be available in Brazil?

Character from Red Dwarf isn't it?! Guy on left. 😁👍💜

what on earth no soubd from 36:56 come on ford of europe of cologne and saarloius deutschland please, sort it out.

My grandad had an RS1600!

The RS Focus is a fantastic sports car ever. 💓💗💘😆🤗

Just put money down on this car about 2 weeks ago. Very very excited for them to call me next year to pick my options. Gonna own my dream car.

lol i like how they edit out when the car straightens out after a skid...

Hello, is it possible to have the same polo with the RS logo?

Hmm. Might just trade in my 2014 stage 2 STI for this... Depending on how well the engine accept modification.

Sooooo since it's imported to USA from Europe, is it going to be taxed as an import or will it be considered domestic?

Finally, a RS for US market. Decisions will be hard next couple of years, I'm a fan of RS, but have two kids now and 2016/17 Ford Raptor maybe next choice

I can't wait to get one of these bad boys in the states. My dad has owned his ford for 10 years now, I seriously can't wait to get some blue in my blood.

2016 Focus RS AWD now this year in north america.

I love Ford's performance cars. I have a f=Fusion Sport and it is a wicked fast car. It looks like Granny's Fusion, until it blows by you and you see the four tailpipes and hear them roar

MK2 owner & lover here

I want one!

Lovely looking car. Not to sure about the rims. Always find myself coming back to Fords

can´t wait for the new one !

awesome!!!

19:05 that looks better than the actual one

front of a evo X finally 4x4! I hope type R comes with 4x4 too

How many seats will the car have? 4 or 5?

Damn, that RS is beautiful. Daddy want.

I hope this car will destroy that ugly Golf R sales .... But I would have loved too see a 5 cylinder engine again that sound from the old one simply was magic.

I was in the market for a BMW 4 series or a Cadillac ATS. I am quickly rethinking that position. Sweet Maria.

looks good

Can't wait to trade in my 2013 focus st for the 2016 rs

This vs civic type r?

Fords are Awesome.

Nobody could represent a Ford RS less than Chris Barrie, not even a good Clown!

veramente da paura!!! continuate cosi!!!!

I showing my age only Ford i am missing is my old Capri 2.8i special

I wonder if there is any great look at that RS prototype without any camouflage on it. Because a production RS is based on mk3.5 Focus. But that prototype is clearly a mk3.

i don't know why anyone would get the new type r over this. never mind ricer hyped

Sooo when can I buy it?

lost audio at around 37m 30!

Can't wait for the first review of the all new Focus RS !!! :D An YES! Thist time Ford made it with AWD !!! :D Superrrr! :)

well done Ford, 4wd was the correct decision - so is manual shift :D I had a 5 door 2.5ltr Focus ST and I'm sure this car will be a good step on from that i'll be watching keenly for the launch details and UK pricing

I wish they kept the front grill like this.

No recaro shell seats for the USA ?!

The motor features a new *low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger with a larger compressor* than the one in the Mustang EcoBoost, and the Focus' engine is accompanied by a much larger intercooler system. Along with a less restrictive intake design and large-bore exhaust system with a noise-controlling butterfly valve, the engine essentially flows a lot more air than the motor in the Mustang, boosting horsepower over the Mustang's unit.

Hope one day they team up with Cosworth to make the ultimate version of this.

It could be the next best thing, but i almost guarantee it will be an underpowered damp squib! It always is with ford the true fans will love it because it is 4wd and has rs on it! Think i will hang on for the next edition once they iron all the faults out

The 2009 Version is still the best looking RS design i´ve ever seen :)

Ford Europe When we will be able to see RS development documentary? :)

Finally Ford gets serious, mustang with rear independent suspension and now awd focus rs. It is not only about power, but how to deliver and control it... All that comes noticeable when you leave the straight line and hit some curves...

RS200 lap and Ken Block's shenanigans in the prototype really saved this showing. Seriously, this is what I've been waiting for! About time FORD!! And thank you! Hurry up and declare the MSRP so I can give it to you! =D

En algún momento llegará a Argentina? Apenas tenemos el TITANIUM y eso que es producción nacional, veo remota la idea de poder tenerlo. Como muchos dicen la esperanza tiene que ser lo último en caer. it will come to Argentina ? We Just have the TITANIUM and that is national production, I no see the idea of ​​having it. As many say hope has to be the last to fall .

How is FWD better than RWD or AWD for a performance car?

My dream!
