engine ford focus rs 2015

welcome to my blog ^_^
Here it is, the new Ford Focus RS has arrived. The car made its public debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and is all set to wow the crowds at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the hands of Ken Block. As you might imagine Ford Focus RS with this third generation  and the fast Ford is packing a 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine with 345bhp that's delivered via an advanced four-wheel drive set-up.

Following the hugely positive response to the Ford GT supercar at the Detroit Motor Show, Ford aims to instil some supercar thrills in the latest Focus RS with a flared nose and wheel arches as well as the essential aggressive stance.

The latest model to wear the fabled RS plan goes on sale early next year, and follows a long line of affordable but seriously high-performance Fords – a dynasty that started back in 1968 with the 15M RS and brought us legends like the Escort RS1600, Sierra RS Cosworth, Escort RS Cosworth and two Focus RS models before this. When it goes on sale next year, the newcomer will cost less than £30,000 and deliver performance to rival the most formidable heavyweight hot hatches on the market.
The new Focus RS will come with a drift function: 70 per cent of power can be sent to the rears with all of that power able to be sent to one wheel if needed.

Ford Focus RS: 2.3 Ecoboost turbo engine

Under the standard Focus bonnet lies a 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, which will be shared with this year’s Mustang. But, unlike the US muscle car, the hatch gets a twin-scroll turbo with a larger compressor for better airflow, as well as a larger intercooler. And we’re assured those sawn-off twin exhausts will emit deep-throated gargles, pops and crackles.

Power is 345bhp – that’s 17bhp less than the 2.5-litre five-cylinder delivers in the RS3 but there could be the potential to up power even further in future with a limited-run model. The 2.3-litre EcoBoost ‘red lines’ at 6,800rpm, CO2 emissions are down 20 per cent on the old RS’s Volvo-derived 2.5 five-cylinder and a six-speed manual box is standard.

As with most four-wheel drive cars, there will be an efficiency penalty. “We’re not ready to talk fuel economy numbers just yet,” vehicle development boss Raj Nair explained, adding that, “economy and emissions will be significantly better than we’ve seen in previous RS products.” This means the new car could achieve as much as 35mpg.

Focusing on “functional aerodynamics” has helped Ford improve efficiency by reducing drag and adding downforce to improve grip and handling.

The car’s muscular bodykit – including a redesigned front bumper, grille and large rear spoiler – has been developed with this in mind and to aid cooling of the retuned engine.
