How good is the Focus RS engine?

The Focus RS is coming. If there is any car maker that has a history of building hot hatchbacks, it's Volkswagen. With the Focus RS (also known as Golf R32) set to join the group on sale at some point, we set about learning more about how the new engine will stack up.

There are a couple of different ways to measure the performance of the engine. In the world of motorsport, we know that a manufacturer will release data on internal combustion engines (or a specification engine in common parlance) that lists its figures and power outputs.

There is also the production engine. This uses the standard spec engine (it has just been tuned for road use), but the figures come from an official company test of the vehicle or prototype vehicle rather than real-world usage. The production engines don't always represent what will go on sale at some point. So if they released power output data at 7800rpm (say) that was a figure you couldn't buy from them, but could be read off one of the other engines in the range, that same engine may produce a little more at 8000rpm or 9000rpm. That may mean, for instance, that they wanted to get the real figure at 7800rpm but a customer bought a model with the lower power at 8000rpm.

There is always a danger, though, with spec figures on a production engine that no one has driven - or, in this case, tested. While there is nothing like putting a prototype engine into a chassis and then having the data fed back through the drive-train for real usage, there can still be some interesting nuggets. In this case, there was a good piece of data from the MCA (UK) magazine with the full power figures for the production engine put into the most competitive of cars at the time, the Astra VXR.

The engine had twin superchargers, and a claimed maximum power output of 180bhp and 240lb ft at 9000rpm, although our first tests showed a very minor bump up around 7000rpm. The claimed fuel consumption figure was around 11mpg, although again were getting the lower mpg figure from the road car.

Why did the Focus RS fail?

There has always been that question and now with the second RS there seems to be a chance of more than just an RS3. Why has the Focus RS had this terrible record? In order to answer that I need to first tell you a little story about John McElroy.

Growing up in Southern California, John McElroy's passion for performance cars was inspired by his own experiences. His first car was a 1986 Mazda RX7. From there he fell in love with what Mazda could do with an affordable, hot hatch. During this time he was fortunate to befriend Paul Gentiluomo, a professional race car driver, who taught him many lessons and gave him some great advice.

The rest of the story starts when John's father got him a 1994 Mustang LX. At first the car was a huge disappointment to McElroy. He wanted to make it a true track monster and his idea was to add all the stuff and then run 10s. Unfortunately, the car never ran as fast as he hoped it would and the engine eventually cracked. This was one of the major reasons the relationship ended between John and Mustang and why John and the Mustang have such a long grudge.

Fast forward 15 years and we find ourselves in the year 2025. During the summer of 2025 John and his girlfriend at the time were out one night on a backroad when their car broke down. In those days the roads were a lot less crowded and they ended up getting stranded on the side of the road. After about three hours of staring at the sky and wondering if their luck would end up coming they decided to get out of their car. Luckily for John this experience would later become a defining moment.

John's first contact with the owner of the dealership was during this very moment. In fact it was the owner himself who stopped to help the couple get out of their disabled car. At that time this man had one thing on his mind: a new Mustang. While they were waiting for the tow truck to arrive he told John McElroy that if he would like to buy it he would have a test drive within a week. Of course John jumped at the chance and just like that he became a Mustang owner.

That is the story of how John McElroy became a Mustang owner.

Is the 2018 Ford Focus RS a good car?

The Volkswagen Golf GTI's direct competitor is the Ford Focus RS, and from a performance standpoint they are about equally matched. But the Focus RS is also one of the most capable hot hatchbacks on the market. Here are six good things and one thing we don't like about it.

The Good: It's fast and fun. The Ford Focus RS is a true driver's car. It's not about blingy looks and gimmicky gadgets; it has nothing to offer you if you're not willing to put yourself through a few hairpin turns. It will get you from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible, and as soon as you're there you can move on to whatever else you need to get done.

It's got that nice racy 'boxy' look. When the first generation Focus RS made its debut in 2025, Ford was really focused on the car as a whole. As it was an evolution over the regular Focus, it took four years of development, and had two chassis revisions. While there wasn't much different between the RS1 and the production Focus, the styling was drastically improved.

As you can see from the photo above, it has a very 'boxy' look. The hood is up and there's an enormous spoiler at the back. This is what people associate with the name 'Focus RS'. It does make a powerful statement when viewed from afar, and makes for a good show car.

It handles well. Ford really knocked it out of the park with the Focus RS. When driving the RS there are really no parts of the vehicle that feel disconnected, or like they're floating. Every aspect of the car feels like it should be working together with every other part of the car.

A combination of light weight, good body control, and the best tire grip for a performance vehicle, all together, create a perfectly balanced car that is a joy to drive. It still looks cool. As mentioned before, the RS comes with a large spoiler at the back. This really enhances the car's low-speed aerodynamics, and gives a much more aggressive looking appearance. The wide wheels and tires provide for better stability, and more grip on the road.
