Ford announces Focus RS prices
Official prices and details of Ford's uber-hot hatch confirmed
After months of speculation, the official numbers for Ford's Focus RS have been confirmed. It'll cost from £24,995 when it hits the UK in March 2009, with 301bhp and 325lb ft on tap making it good for 160mph+ and sub-6sec to 60mph.
As well as £5 change, £25k buys you a Focus with 19in alloys (wrapped in 235/35 rubber), gloss black mirrors, spoiler and detailing, xenon headlights and air con as well as a Thatcham cat 1 alarm. An extra £750 buys an options pack boasting dual zone climate control, parking sensors and automatic lights and wipers while £1500 adds DVD-powered touch screen sat nav to the mix. Part-leather seats add £500.
And if you want the paint jobs pictured, set aside £395 (Performance Blue) or £695 (Ultimate Green) to brighten up Ford's 22nd RS model since 1970, and the first in seven years. You can read more about it and view our gallery of the Ford Focus RS right here.
