It's from watching vids like this that I bought my MK2 st facelift. Best purchase I've ever done. The sound is so addictive, v good torque, mods are so cheap and easy to purchase. There's afew MK3 st near me and they always look away when I pass and give them a cheeky rev
They probably look away because they know you've got the better car. Certainly for sound and engine capability alone. And personally I think the MK2 looks better, so you've got the better looking car too
@@Eidrian111 You shouldnt tell people they dont know anything when you don't yourself. They arent identical sure, but they are very very similar. The T5 especially later models from Facelift volvos will happily run the K16, Vivaperformance and Elevate have been selling the upgrade kit for years and it works perfectly fine on stock internals on well over 300HP, once you start approaching 400HP on either RS or T5 the Cylinder walls will either crack at the top or scrub/separate from the head gasket. The RS uses graphite embedded into the cylinder walls, this happens during the manufacturing stage and has nothing to do with Ford, in fact this technology is Volvo technology which comes from the S60R. The RS does however use a different crankshaft as well as different conrods and pistons specs. They are stronger, however its a moot point since the open deck block is the weakest point of the 2.5L engines and its the same design on the T5, ST and RS. Some of the changes in the RS were things requested by Ford Team RS, but all engineering was done by Volvo in Skovde Sweden.
Very nice car, I remember seeing this car in the bright green color for the first (and last) time at AutoRAI Amsterdam when I was 9 years old. Good times.
Just saw a post on Facebook of someone selling one in the AU. (I'm from the US) and the amount of people commenting that "It's just a Focus"; "You're stupid"; "You must be joking"; "Worth 3k tops" was ridiculous. Very sad to see most people don't know about what the other countries produced and the amount of rarity these particular models hold. If I could ever own one and ship it to the states, I would in a heartbeat!

Everybody have soft spot for 5cylinder engines because there are not many of them produced. Fiat in diesel and gas version, Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, Rover, and Ford 3.2 Duratorq.
The Volvo C30 is more like the MK2 Focus ST instead of the MK2 Focus RS. It would need the K16 Turbo, some tuning, and the revoknuckle suspension set up for it to be the MK2 Focus RS for the states.
So funny how the Volvo boys always remember that the core of their engine was used for this ford, but seem to forget that the Volvo S40, V50, C70 and C30 all shared the focus platform. Always needing to point out how that engine is Volvo, even though ford's teamRS changed so much to it, it was only a volvo core, and everything else was never seen in Volvo's. Just like how "their" engine became more famous thanks to a Ford focus, then through their own cars! 🤣 So Ford borrowed one thing, and that's worth pointing out, but Volvo making 4 cars who are just ford's with Volvo body's is never mentioned! 🤣 Go enjoy your 180kmh restricted new Chinese Volvo's, sour Volvo fanboys!
@@RS-nq8xk whaha, hardly! Volvo is so overrated, it's not even funny! Wich just goes to show in your comment. I give an example of where Volvo Bois need to tone down, and all you can say to that is "I must be a Ford fanboy?" 🤣 Go enjoy your grandpa spec estate on the focus platform!
@@sandrooliveira458 not the biggest problem. If russians can put Lada and toyota engines in Cayenne then put Ford engine in other ford cant b big problem
Is this Focus RS Mk2 the best generation of them all?
Absolutely yes!
hell yeah
“And the survey said?” Yes!
Mk1 is better in my opinion
Mk3 is better beacuse of awd system
World needs more I5s. Ford Focus, Quattro and Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo are proof how good I5s are.
volvo 5 cylinder, i think ford never produced a 5 cylinder engine of his own
Audi.....
They've got the fuel consumption of a v8 though
Volvo 850
Where this engine came from...
Bad fuel economy is what killed the 5 cyl.
Such a neat, crisply styled version of the Focus compared to the rest of the generations. Mk2 is a future classic that will be the most sought after.
Undoubtedly the best gen RS. I've driven many nice cars and have to say these cars are one of the best drivers car I've drove.
This type of focus has the best sounding engine for sure.
Have had recent thoughts of selling mine as I don’t use it enough... then I watch this! Looks like I’ll be keeping it a while longer 🙃
I always see you on the mk2 focus RS videos haha, don’t sell it 🙁 just bought a green one myself
@@zondahyt45 Haha yeah.. I cant keep quiet 😁 Nice, welcome to the dark side 👍
Wil hem ook best met je ruilen tegen mn Electric Orange ST 2,5 🤭

That Volvo engine sound epic! 👌
You gotta love that chewbacca sound

This is the best Focus RS 5 cylinder smooth !!!!! Lots of torque and very fast
I really really do miss my performance Blue
3:11 the best two ford brothers
The best 5-cylinder of the world!
Ford RS mk2 is the best RS over the last ten years 👍
I've always ignored these cars for some reason, after hearing these they made me love em 👌🏽
9 out of 10 of those exhausts haven't been modded thats how good the mk2 rs sounds
Majority are milltek and kms thunderstorm decat far from standard
Great scenes...my RS is hibernating right now...
I wish we got these in the US
We got volvo t5’s which are the same exact thing. I drive a volvo s40 t5 and it’s literally this car but more of a sleeper
@@RoyalBaboon247 In the states it has be 25 years before you can import it.
@@RoyalBaboon247 i want renualt in usa but usa have not Renault
josh w you don’t know shit. They have really different internals so they don’t melt with the boost of the k16.

1:56 fuck he hit that speed bump hard.

The best sounding Ford RS ever!
ZX3 RS looking and sounding great
love ford focus !!!
What’s the exhaust setup on the one at 5:20? Sounds sick!
I wanna know tho
Sounds the worst of all, imo

😍😍😍 This sound !
7:35 lol
Nice Volvos
FORD
VOLVO
Now we should call Alfa Romeo Giulia a Ferrari ? Are You aware how many engines are from other manufacturers ? Patents etc etc ?
quake2rulez Ford got away with it because they owned Volvo 15 years ago for some years
Going by that logic the mk3 RS is a mazda
Considering one of these... would be a permanent place
That GTfour was really nice
What is the lime green one at the start? It looks magnificent and sounds amazing.
I like the more aggressive appearance of the new focus but prefer the old 5cyl. Why not combine the 2 together?
The new focus st or the mk3 rs?
@@mattws5784 any of them
You like 2 stepping MK2 focuses? Come to any uk show and there will be at least 5.
leopard toastie 10*
7:34 😂😂😭
Such a beautiful car and sound
Love this KFZ❤
5cyl 😍 my next car Focus ST upgrade better than RS500😎
Apart from the A 45, it'd the best hot hatch, but defo the best sounding

Tausendmal geiler als der 4 Zylinder. Rockt.
4:38 something wrong or is it just the tune that runs rich?
So much better than the 4 door, rubbish - open deck block effort!
Everybody have soft spot for 5cylinder engines because there are not many of them produced. Fiat in diesel and gas version, Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, Rover, and Ford 3.2 Duratorq.
The Ford Focus RS500 sounds like some cars (such as the Lampadati Felon) from GTA V.
The loud bang/pop when shifting gears! Oh so sweet... Is it stock?
I think the U.K. modifies Focus RS’s best, and yes mk 2 is the best generation!
The mk2 looks so much better than the MK3, just so fat and chavvy love it
Wow, this looks great. Is there a RS meet in 2021?!
1:57 replay button
Tinha que ter vindo aqui p Brasil poxa kkkk seria tudo de bom viu
1:00 anyone Know which Blow off this is?
I love this car❤
Everyone else got the RS and America got the Volvo C30

1:58 ready or not i hear the supercharger! or any type of chargers
Turbo for sure
2:00 😭😭😭
@@odydijkman4323 idk probably that the guy forgot to shift at 2:05
Rolf RJ he was referring to the amazing turbo sound
Not only revs but look at the acceleration
I still have my Volvo s80 with the 2.5 t its such a nice car (the engine is from Volvo btw)
Good sound for the brain
Thanks bro for this video
Odd, they sound like Volvos! 😆 B5234T3 for life!
Angus because the block is the same one block they used in the volvo S80 2.5T which is the same engine used in the ST
Odd, some Volvo's from the same era seem to stand on the focus platform! 🤣 "Thanks ford for buying us and keeping us alive to sell to the Chinese!" 🤣😂
Nah, Volvo's sound better. Ford spoilt the sound with the twin pipes. You need a single exit exhaust to get the best sound track from a 5 pot.
MK2 is the superior generation of the ST/RS
0:15 0:17 0:19
And possibly the best bit of sound was the Golf...
Man i want car with 5 cylinder after this
Dat 5 cylinder growl
what is the car that was infornt at 2:36?
a fiat coupe
Was there any reason why they changed from 2.5l? Emissions and all that jazz I assume?
1:57 beautiful
Ford focus RS is the b3st
This makes me want to drive my Mk. III ST even though it doesn't have the 5cyl XD
1:57 - 2:07 is this Stock Sound or with Upgrades?
Obviously upgrades
Do i keep the ek9 or buy one of these now hmmm
Ford Fiesta ST please!!!
That Celica All-Trac sure is sexy.
omg it sounds like a V10 even though its a 5 cylinder
The best Focus generation in my opinion. The brand new one is just so ugly.
Americans: what's that?
A big dirty Volvo engine 👌🏼👌🏼
I really want one
Best looking rs

5 banger swap for MK3? Due to being AWD, so if anyone did, it would be FWD too
