The £40,000 Heritage Edition Is Ford's Fond Farewell To The Focus RS
Ford is choosing to bid farewell to the awesome Focus RS with a Heritage Edition that’s limited to just 50 cars.
Production officially halts in April, but this final run of extra-special versions (hopefully built with the correct head gaskets) will have more power, bonus equipment and a new ‘Deep Orange’ paint job.
The power boost will come from the existing and much-loved Mountune FPM375 upgrade. That means the 2.3-litre turbocharged four-pot jumps from 345bhp to 370bhp, while torque stretches by 22lb ft, to 376lb ft.
It also gets a Quaife mechanical limited-slip differential on the front axle, which is nice. Inside there are part-leather Recaro seats, a sunroof and a heated steering wheel for extra Drift Mode comfort. The price for these 50 exclusive cars is a hefty £39,985, over £7000 more than standard.

This made my cry..Rest in peice my little blue friend..
Missjamiers on Instagram has pictures of her orange one
I have an odd love-hate relationship with the Focus RS. I hate it, but absolutely love it.
What’s next after this
The “end of the road” edition?
The “too soon junior” edition?
When will they stop?!
Didn’t Subaru just come out with Heritage Edition models?
Are they getting replacing it with a new model or binning the focus altogether?
why there is no rs500?
I know this is going to be a really stupid question, but does this mean there will be no Mk4 RS? Or does it just mean the Mk3 is ending? (please just be the latter!)
