More 250,000 people have set up a Focus RS in the websites of Ford and it should not surprise us. Many dream with this compact driven by the motor 2.3 EcoBoost four-cylinder. With its 350 HP and 440 Nm of torque is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,7 seconds. In addition there are various driving modes that make the vehicle more exciting.
as shown in video, where the very Ben Collins (ex-Stig of Top Gear) gets behind the wheel to explain how the four modes are Normal, Sport, Track and Drift. The Normal does not need to give explanations, in terms of the Sport already begins to be modified the response of the engine, steering, sound of the exhaust and all-wheel drive system. In the Track, the behavior is even more aggressive and in addition is disconnected partially the ESP and stiffens the suspension. We ended up with the Drift Mode, where what works most is the awd system, sending more power to the rear wheels and allowing it to slip in a controlled manner.
