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.

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?
There will be a new Focus in the couple of months. Then couple of months later they will make an ST with 279BHP and a 1.5 4 cylinder. Then they will make an RS. Probably 2019, 2020
why there is no rs500?
“It would be too fast, damaging theGT350r lap time around the Nürburgring. Our customers don’t want to buy a car that is slower than a hatchback.” After that, the prototype was destroyed.
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!)
