The mechanism is called Ford Performance Drift Stick and is intended for a special drift mode that appeared on the latest generation Focus RS. The "electric handbrake" requires much less effort and allows more precise manipulation of the lever.

At the moment of activation, the innovative "handbrake" sends signals to the all-wheel drive system and ABS unit about the need to transfer all torque to the front axle and lock the rear brakes.

The Drift Stick has already been tested by a real drift star Ken Block, who clearly liked the device.
