🐒 IMMENSE 5 CYLINDER TURBO SOUNDS! 520HP FORD FOCUS RS MK2 REVIEW
Focus RS Mark II
Focus RS Mk II on show at the British Motor Show in July 2008.
When Ford completed the production run of the Mk I, Ford of Britain's managing director Paul Thomas said "We always knew Focus RS would be a sales winner, but we could never have predicted its fantastic reception and the effect it had in re-igniting passion for the Ford RS brand."
In December 2007, the plans for a Focus RS Mk II were acknowledged by Ford[3], which stated that the Mk II would appear as a concept at the British International Motor Show in London for 2008, with production in 2009. Spy photos[4] and rumors of purported RS Mk II test mules had already been in circulation for some time. On the July 4, 2008 Ford announced the details of the Ford Focus RS that was to be shown at the British International Motor Show. Contrary to speculation[5], the new Focus RS does not have twin turbochargers or all-wheel drive. The Volvo T5 engine was upgraded to produce 305 PS (301 hp)[6] and 440 N·m (325 lb·ft) of torque. 0 to 100km/h acceleration was quoted to be under 6 seconds. The car remains front wheel drive, but to reduce torque steer uses a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing LSD, and a specially designed MacPherson strut suspension at the front called RevoKnuckle, which provides a lower scrub radius and kingpin offset than traditional designs while avoiding the increased weight and complexity of double wishbone and multi-link suspension setups.[7]Ford UK claim: "It’s as close as you’ll come to driving a full-spec rally car.[8]
Focus RS Mk I
The Focus RS Mk I was produced from 2 October 2002 to 11 November 2003 and was Ford's return to the RS badge after the demise of the tweaked Escorts, particularly the fabled Ford Escort RS Cosworth. Production was limited to about 4500 from the outset, and the car was built on its own assembly line in Ford's Saarlouis plant. The RS was offered all over Europe, but 2147 were sold in the United Kingdom, by far its largest market.[1]
Development
The development of the Focus RS was undertaken by Tickford Engineering / Prodrive Tickford in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. Originally it was to be released as the Racing Focus, however after the poor selling Racing Puma, Ford decided to revive the RS badge. Initially the power output was specified to be 222 bhp, but issues with mechanical durability caused the power to be reduced.
The Focus RS was available in one metallic colour, Imperial Blue. The body looked similar to the standard Focus or to the ST170, although the RS featured unique front and rear bumper assemblies required for the wider wheel arches which accommodated the 65mm wider front track. Internally, the theme is blue and black with sections of blue leather trim on the door trim panels, the steering wheel and the Sparco seats which were trimmed in blue/black leather and Alcantara. A green starter button starts the engine. The instruments have a blue background and in place of the coolant temperature gauge, the RS was equipped with a boost pressure indicator (up to 1.5 bar). The gear lever knob, handbrake lever, and pedals were all custom made by Sparco.
All-around performance was equal or better than its other competitors, including hatchbacks such as the Honda Civic Type R and four-wheel drive cars in the same price field. Power was a diminished priority and the handling on a track, courtesy of the front differential, was considered by most observers to be the most important characteristic.
Guys face once he becomes a passenger not fazed one bit 😂😂😂😂
Man of steel confirmed
It's hard to beat the sound of that 5 pot 😍
Have to agree Adam absolutely intoxicating!
Lol get your cosworth on the channel :)
What he said ❤️
My old man's mate had the rs500 the satin black wrapped one.
I told him not to sell it.
Never been in the 2nd rs focus.
The 1st one tho is probably my favourite fwd car.
The golf club sport is mega tho.
The latest focus rs was capable but didn't make me want one ,on a gravel fire road tho it made sense.
Wheels needed a refurbishment a bit afterwards.
@@AAs-vb7pv probably break down lol
It’s the crazy noises that the 5 pot makes what makes you fall in love with it, honestly can’t see me getting sick of my st
Amazing motor, only issue is WOT 24/7 😂

This was 14 mins of my life spent well on 5pot goodness 🤤🙌🏻
Nice one Matt these are the comments I like to read
One of my favourite combinations... 5 cylinder and turbo! Big fan of the Group B Quattros as well.
Yeah agreed such an awesome sounding motor! Cheers for tuning in
Lovely touch with the sound system as a memory! I do love a Mk2 Focus and the 5 cyclinder engine sounds amazing!
Yeah and the sound system is next level makes me wanna do an install. Think we should bring back installs 😂
@@monkylondon 100% ICE installs just complete a car 😄
Love that engine, it’s actually a volvo engine. Volvo and Audi 5 cyl are legendary
The block is yeah. None of the internals are made by Volvo though.
So technically I've got a Focus RS estate?
@@monkylondon pretty much!! 👍👍
@@apizzaparty get in 😂😂❤️
@@monkylondon I think a used rs turbo might be a pretty neat bolt on for your wagon 👍👍🤣❤️
So glad u have music playlist now. we can finally listen to all them bangers. That sound of that 5 pot is just 😍
You've got great taste in music man, that spotify playlist is sick. some proper old school drum n bass on there.
Boosty noises were good too lol
Just wanna say I'm chuffed we have such a vibrant audience all over the world, great to see you all tuning in from different countries. Big respect, I can't reply to everyone but read them all and appreciate you all 👍
Massive Ford fan here. From sunny South Africa. Owned a 2010 ST3 and that 2.5 5pot is just an amazing, and addictive machine. Incredible upgrades and love the passion of the owner for his car. And that turbo sounds👌🏻😉
I commute along past shere regularly, I’d love to spot you one day. Great video as ever. Your soundtracks are always on point too. Cheers bro
Still got my focus st mk2 running 320bhp. Just upgraded the coolant pipes recently. 06 plate and only done 84k. Still an absolute weapon at that power
Watching from Coventry and now after this I’m going for a blast in my 340bhp 2010 st 🚗💨🔥
make sure you don't kill anyone you filthy chav
Good lad she sounds pretty fruity, 340 ample power in one of these.
Spunky, where on gods green one have you been.
Yep these 5 cylinders sound immense.
Decent review once again me andsome!!
Thank you sir! Was on hols for a couple weeks, more goodness coming up bud 💪
This Focus is a beast. Even stock it is amazing. I would have one over any amg or M.
Looks good too, reminds me of the ones they had in the 2000s
Best sounding engines for me, I have a mk2 focus st and I chuffing love it!
Me too bud. Love them.
Same great fun cars
@@deanoscott blip throttle down changes all the way mate!
@@terrysmith3537 that defo makes them a bit louder but mine naturally does it, and before anyone slags me off, no I don't have the pop bang map 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@deanoscott me neither mate, 3 inch cat back and a KnN panel filter, other than that it's a low mileage standard minter
The sounds this car makes is pure bliss from across the pond USA Texas
Hi Mr ML... That is one seriously cool RS, as you said it's a whole package from the power, to the handling to the refined interior... Great stuff 😊
Really is a fab all rounder, really glad you enjoyed it
Can’t beat the sound I’ll never get bored of it!!
I come from bishops stortford and my dad had some work do e by them 20 years ago and it was seemless then and the work looks just as good now as it did back then
Ah nice to hear man blast from the past eh, install was top notch
Nice to see you risking everyones life’s on the road for your joyrides.. good work
Greetings from Michigan, and this just got me wanting to work on my '94 Volvo 850 turbo estate, well done 👍
Much love from across the pond, big Volvo fan
Big ups for editing in the legendary soundtrack from Taxi 👍👍 "Le Dernier Coup"
This car looks awesome - I like the aggressive offset. Watching from Auckland, New Zealand.
As soon as you seen the in car of it pulling you knew straight away it was a top quality build, fabulous motor and I'm a Ford man so that's just saucy for me
That's a beast, Naughty
Im watching from Norway, and i also got a mk2 rs, this is my dream set up🤌🤝
RS sounding badder than ever, definitely made my back bone quiver 🔥🔥🔥
Watching from just outside Cardiff. This car has always been my dream car if I came into some money 😂 that 5 cylinder sound man. Subscribed a couple of weeks ago and have watched all your videos. Top car's and like I said the other day what a driver 👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers Gareth big up Wales I lived in Swansea for a bit. Twin town ftw. Glad you're enjoying the content cheers for coming aboard
st.lucia
@@monkylondon No worries mate. Twin town! You legend 😁👍🏼👍🏼
@@monkylondon hot dogs 🌭 for dinner boys another bit of John Monday action again cheers bud 👍
@@samuelbartle7136 nice one butt!
Am lucky to have bought a green beast way before the prices went up and in all the years I've had it still puts a smile on my face even now. Not many cars out there can do that.
Love the fact the boot build was to commentate the lads mate 👍👍
Love the edit style, the music choice is always perfect, 👍👍👍 proper naughty rs that is
One of the best sounding volvo rs I have heard
The blow off valve sound is MASSIVE🤩
Easy lads. My ST MK 2 is running 400 bhp, and I’ve just ripped up a drive shaft. RS sounds and looks the part 👊🏻👊🏻
Awesome, big shout out form New Zealand 🇳🇿 😀👍 keep up the awesome content.
Loved the comment "how do you ever have any fuel?!".... so true 😂😂
WOT all the time 😂👍
The owner just sitting like a boss when you riped out his car😁
I raced that in my 380bhp corsa vxr and dam that was quick... watching from Buckingham.. can't wait for more dnb
This is such an impeccable example of a beautifully modded RS. Fabulous motor. Music to my ears even without the wicked soundsystem on.
Nice one Chris will mean a lot to Ian
Absolutly love the sound of the Volvo 5 pot love from Nottingham
Just saved your Spotify playlist lad, proper banging. 👌🏼
Nice one Joe I'll keep adding bangers, glad you liked it
@@monkylondon cheers mate 👍🏻
This one of the best sounding mk2 rs
Another great vid, another great choice in tunes. Love the vibe 🐒 👌
I will always be thankful to Volvo for that 5 cylinder sound
Best car reviewer on the tube!no messing,keeps it real and a top geezer.🤜🤛and watching from derby😄
Made me blush 😂👊
Now that is simply a weapon! Love it!
Glad you like Paul hats off to Ian! See you next Monday for a new episode 6pm 👍
The hands of the 😊assenger say it all. He knows johns a driver. No sweat
Yes ML another sick episode..watching from Ireland 🇮🇪..love de channel keep her lite 👊
That power delivery system on the syvecs is cool as makes the big power fwd nice to drive with love the seats too so nice. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Mate, not sure where you are from in Nz but we have some bad ass RS3’s taking over the scene at the moment, which would make this awesome build (full respect) look slow
Can't beat a 5pot grumble, only thing is my Volvo V70R hammers fuel but it's worth it 🤙🏻
Yeah I can see why! Very fond of the V70R great cars
Durham, up proper north marra 👍🏻 dying to get my Mk2 Focus RS out the garage after watching this 👌🏻
Spotify play list = activated, many eargasms inbound 👌
One of the best rs around 💯 🙌 ❤ loving the sounds your face says it all. Keep up the great content from North london 1👍🤟
love seeing the older boy racer.just so the young ones know we aint dead after 30
What a car!!! shame they got rid of the volvo 5cyl for a 4 banger with the newer awd models, that was the only thing this focus needed to be perfect!!! I Wonder if you can turn the syvecs boost by speed off like traction control, for you know those days where you do wanna roast a set hahaha
Also if you ever can find one (maybe local veiwers can chime in) Ive never seen an FTO GPX (r) on the channel or any others for that matter, the only noise that comes close to the godlyness of the 5 pot imo!
Storrington, West Sussex bro! Love your video’s mate!
Yo Will!
Hello from lively Amsterdam Monky! Going green never before looked and sounded so good 👊
Like 195 left and muchos gracias since you explored old Mexico today 😃👌 Thank you guys.
Thanks for the link to your playlist. Some stone cold classics!
Tuned in from Hellingly in East Sussex,
That RS is sick!
Sussex massive represent thanks for watching Ben!
Can’t beat that 5cyl turbo noise
Just like the group b audi ❤️
I'm no blue oval lover but this is a great motor. Nice touch with the install too. Tell John to grow that beard back.
Same setup as mine! Can't beat the noise..
Just missing the screamer 👀.
Absolutely loves these
Awesome cars, that 5 pot is a lovely motor. Thanks for watching Dan
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Big from England bro thanks for tuning in
That's one of the best sounding engines 👌 that along with a VR6 and an M5 V10
All those selections are pukka respect
And a Subaru Boxer? 😢
@@monkylondon thanks brutha 💯✌️
And RS3 motors
Love the mk2 focus rs !! Fantastic set up 👌❤️
Sounds awesome always did like that 5 pot sound shame they went away from it with the next gen models :( great work tho monky another beast tamed by you 😂
Dude I love your channel. I can't get enough
The MK2 defo my favourite shape Focus RS. Imagine if it was 4wd, it would be a proper rally car.
Nice one Monky (and John)👍
The owner is very trusting and has nerves of steel, not one bit bothered 😂🤣
Watching from Auckland New Zealand......lovin the sound of the RS and big ups on your DnB track!
My car has that engine (in stage 0 form(took a while to get it to stage 0)) a 7 seater S-Max! Cant wait to do some upgrades, already have a stage 3 intercooler installed and a subwoofer. Amazing engine so smooth and characterfully. Right now I can not believe I am sitting out 6 month ban for 83mph in a 70. Why do they hide behind bushes in the middle of straight roads, while people are suffering from crime in the city?
Love those jl audio subs
LOVE Love the mk1 focus Rs but mk2 is where it's at just evilness
Absolute machine that RS love my 5 cylinder ST if you could show pictures I would 🫡 great video aswell mate watching from Southampton
Nice to see the Ford owners in here what colour is your ST?
@@monkylondon performance blue 💙
Great video Monky.
Ultimate Green is the best colour in these, can't beat that 5 pot sound.
Had an MR 290 ST myself but sold it recently due to ill health. I miss it everyday. Good video ❤️👍
God I wish my st sounded that good.that r.s sounds amazing 👌and live in crawley.
Watching in Italy as I am out here for work but normally Dundee Scotland Bro. Love the Videos.
I miss your videos man.. Please don't stop making videos!!
Watching from Sheffield
Big fan from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Top stuff, Mr Monky! Loving a bit of Blue Oval goodness.😎😎😎
Peace from Manchester.✌
Never get bored of that Volvo T5!
As much as I love a flame-spitting four-banger, you can't tease Ford fans with a 5 cylinder burble beast and then hit them with an Eco Poop 2.3 on the next outing. Mk2 all the way
Tuned in from South Africa❤
Nice RS good ones from germany!!!!!!
Good man, from my ends as well!
Defo gotta get the mondeo on!
For sure we need to do the whole range of Fords I rekon
Great content f**king love a fast Ford watching from Barry island 🏴 hows it going bryn haha
Yes Anthony much love to Barry Island!
The driver is late, the G-forces glue him to the seat before accelerating, amazing.😅😂😂
Now I am thinking maybe I should buy a MK2 Focus ST next.
Don't think you'll be disappointed great motor last of a kind for sure
Love the RS, not many about, I saw one that was star wars themed in white like a storm trooper, the badge had swarovski crystals in it
Haha what a G!!! He drives that car not the other way round that’s what we looking at here boys. From the land down under Australia 🇦🇺
Ain't no sports cat with them overrun bangs🙊🙊🙊
What a lovley day ,🐸and rocket
I've always liked these focus RS. My personal opinion they were the best ones.
The Ovlovs twin hehehe
Mine is almost as fast😹
Vermont 2024, 2008 Ford Focus RS, My favorite Ford!

Random one, Toby are you a fisherman? you look like a carp angler lol
