2010 FORD FOCUS

Ford has been a major force in motorsport ever since the iconic GT40 shook the racing world in the 1960s, with success spanning the BTCC, endurance racing, and the World Rally Championship. Its racing pedigree has translated into road cars that combine usability with performance, from the Sierra RS Cosworth and Escort Cosworth to the Focus RS of today. The first-generation Focus RS proved divisive, its front-wheel-drive torque-steer and firm ride polarising drivers, yet over time it has become a modern classic celebrated for raw, driver-focused character.

Building on that legacy, the Mk2 Focus RS launched in 2009 as a 300bhp, turbocharged five-cylinder super-hatch. Its 2.5-litre engine produces 324lb/ft of torque, propelling the car to 60mph in under six seconds, with a top speed exceeding 160mph. Despite remaining front-wheel drive, Ford’s Revo-Knuckle suspension, Quaife limited-slip differential, wider track, stiffer chassis, and faster steering rack combined to tame the torque-steer and deliver an engaging, responsive drive. Aggressive styling, including the twin-blade rear spoiler, deep diffuser, flared arches, and 19-inch wheels, makes its intentions clear.

This 2010 UK-supplied example is finished in seldom seen Performance Blue and is specified with Lux Pack 1, including dual-zone air conditioning, keyless start, rear parking sensors, auto lights and wipers, and a tyre-pressure monitoring system, alongside standard RS features such as a heated windscreen, Xenon headlights with jet wash, and black Dynamica partial-leather Recaro seats. The car has been cherished by a fabulous collector, kept alongside his exceptional collection in a temperature-controlled environment, and covering just 998 miles from new, preserving its showroom condition.

Coming with its original documentation, old MOT Certificates, and the original handbook pack, the car is presented in exceptional condition, running and driving well. For peace of mind a mechanical once-over is recommended before regular use as the car has remained static for the last few years as part of the collection.

This Focus RS is a superb example of one of Ford’s finest modern performance hatchbacks. Low mileage, single-owner, UK-supplied, and perfectly preserved, ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a box-fresh modern classic.
