HOT ON THE HEELS of the Ford’s new 600bhp Rallycross Focus RS RX making its competitive debut in the FIA World Rallycross Championship in Portugal, the company has released a short video documentary revealing how the competition model was created.
Piloted by US ace Ken Block and Norwegian driver Andreas Bakkerud, the race-spec RS RX features a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 600bhp and permanent four-wheel drive, as per current Rallycross specifications.
And while the regular Focus RS is powered by a 2.3-litre Ford Ecoboost petrol engine producing 345bhp, the RS RX can sprint to 60mph from a standing start in 1.9sec … that’s faster than an F1 car.
