Serial production of the Focus RS started in January 2016. The new product was equipped with a flexible all-wheel drive system that can transfer up to 70% of the torque to the rear wheels. If desired, however, on the RS you can also go through corners in a controlled drift. According to representatives of the brand, this became possible thanks to a special package of settings.
In total, the new product has four driving modes: Normal, Sport, Track, and also Drift. In drift mode, a special calibration of the all-wheel drive system is activated, which regulates the distribution of torque and facilitates entering a controlled drift. Such a package of settings is the first among all production hot hatches. Among other technical changes are stiffer springs and shock absorbers, a different exhaust system and a short steering rack.
