It is finally officially confirmed: the Ford Focus RS will get 350 anabolenpony’s under the hood.

That leaves Ford today in a press release know. We already knew that the Superhatch Ford “more than 320 horsepower,” and a Ford executive named even though the number 350 during a broadcast of BNR’s auto show, but now it is all officially confirmed: a 2.3 liter EcoBoost with 350 hp and 440 Nm of torque (470 in boosting) it is. Ford will be the Focus RS at the Goodwood Festival of Speed present Ken Block as a driver.

Also officially confirmed: the “Drift Mode” where already several times spoken about. He would get there, but an accurate inspection of the interior during the Auto RAI last spring taught the undersigned that the “driftknop” wasn’t to be found. Anyway, he is now confirmed and that makes the Focus RS is the first car that has a special mode for this fine trick.

The Focus RS is All-Wheel drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring. Although, take a random achterwielaandrijver without (enabled) ESP and you have a car that is always in driftmodus. But that aside. The new Focus RS is from the beginning of 2016 available in Europe. It also has a sizable set of new photos released, you in the completed gallery at the bottom of the article you can view.

Finally, there is another good news for the lover of the better send to: Ford goes up to 2020 alongside the Focus RS at least 11 other sports cars to introduce. Let the large speculate so, but steady start. First step: Mondeo ST, Fiesta ST-successor (or still finally a Fiesta RS?), a couple of nicely executed Mustangs, a KA ST, Kuga Raptor and a Transit Nürburgring Edition. You still need supplements?

UPDATE: also added a video of the Focus RS to Goodwood.
