Ngemuva kwesizukulwane esisha se-Ford Fiesta, ukuvuselelwa kwe-Focus kubonakala njengenselelo enkulu elandelayo yomkhiqizo waseMelika. Umndeni omncane wakwaFord wawazi uhlobo lwayo ngozalo lwezemidlalo eminyakeni emibili edlule, kodwa ngokweFord Performance iFocus RS isenokuningi okumele ikunike.
"Ikhasimende lihlezi lilungile"
Ngokokuqala ngqa, uFord wanquma ukulalela izincomo zamakhasimende ahlukahlukene "kumabhulogi, izinkundla kanye namaqembu e-Facebook". Phakathi kwezikhalo eziyinhloko kwaba ukungabi khona komehluko wokuzikhiya ku-axle yangaphambili, futhi “iphakethe lokusebenza” elisha lanelisa leso sicelo esifanayo.
Ngokulawula i-torque edlulela kwi-axle yangaphambili, i-self-locking differential eyakhiwe yi-Quaife inciphisa ukulahleka kokudonsa kanye nesimo se-understeer, esiza ukusebenzisa kahle amandla enjini engu-2.3 EcoBoost. Futhi uma sikhuluma ngenjini, lena ihlala injalo. Isaqhubeka nokuletha amandla afanayo angu-350 hp kanye ne-torque engu-440 Nm. Ukusheshisa ukusuka ku-0-100 km/h kuhlala ku-4.7 imizuzwana.
Leo Roeks, umqondisi weFord Performance“Kubathandi bokushayela ngokwedlulele, ukubamba okungeziwe okuhlinzekwa yi-LSD Quaife kwenza kube lula kakhulu ukusheshisa emakhoneni esekethe futhi ukusebenzise ngokugcwele ukusheshisa ngakho. Lokhu kusetha okusha kuphinde kunikeze ukuzinza okukhulu nokulawula kwemishini ngaphansi kwe-braking esindayo futhi kuzosiza abashayeli ukuthi balungiselele imoto ukuthi ishushuluze besebenzisa i-Drift Mode."
IFocus RS itholakala ngeNitrous Blue eluhlaza okwejwayelekile, ne-matte black spoiler ngemuva futhi ehambisana nombhalo weRS emaceleni, 19-inch alloy wheels, four-piston Brembo monobloc brake caliper kanye nezihlalo zeRecaro.
Amanani entengo yeFord Focus RS enale “performance pack” kulindeleke ukuthi aziwe ngasekupheleni kwale nyanga.
