Ford has introduced the new Ford Focus RS500 which will debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on April 9th. it'll also be limited to a run of just 500 cars.
The car gives power of 350PS and 460 Nm of torque from the same 2.5 litre turbo charged 5 cylender engine. The increase in power was achieved by using a larger intercooler, uprated air filter, a larger diameter downpipe, an uprated fuel pump and a remap to take advantage of the new parts. These numbers deliver a 0-60 in less than 6 seconds and a top speed of 164MPH. If you saw one of these beasts in the street you'll know them with their 19-inch wheels and serialized one-of-500 dashboard plaques, and at least judging by the pictures above, their matt black paint with some splashes of red colour are provided like the red calipers, red 500 badging and blue RS badging. The interior is finished with red detailing a contrast to the blue provided on the standard RS Focus. like the red Recaro sport seats that is finished in leather, The carbon fiber finish in the center console and a unique plaque stating the cars model number. To ensure the strength of these upgrades, the car has been subjected to a series of tests which have focused on the car's track capabilities. The tests included a massive stint at the Nordschleife, where Ford had three of their own racing drivers and a team of engineers complete a whopping 10,000KM non-stop of driving the Green Hell. After 500 laps, Ford were happy enough with the car and were confident that an eight minute laptime is within reach of the car.
