Ford Focus RS WRC Edition

By George Skentzos |

Ford of Switzerland has unveiled a very special edition of the Focus RS hatch to commemorate 40 years of the Ford RS badge.

Limited to just 50 units, the Ford Focus RS WRC Edition is a tribute to the legendary Ford Escort RS1600 which appeared in 1970.

Boasting a unique WRC-inspired livery, the Focus RS WRC is available exclusively in a Frozen White exterior finished, perfectly contrasted by striking 19-inch OZ Super Turismo GT wheels.

The exterior graphics on the Focus RS WRC were chosen from a range of liveries submitted online by Ford fans, who then voted for their favourite.

Inside, each example of the Focus RS WRC features a special plaque signed by Finnish Ford WRC drivers Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtine.

The Focus RS WRC Edition is limited to the European market with a price tag just below A$60,000.

    Oh, this is a handsome car, and easily the best looking of the (small) RS range. I guess I should be off to Switzerland then…

    Wish we got something like this here :-D

    If we did get something like this here, anyone who bought it would become the biggest social pariah – they would be considered a “hoon” just for owning that car. Not only that, but you would probably be pulled over at least once every trip you made for no other reason but “looking like a hoon”.

    But, I agree. It looks awesome!
