New Ford Focus RS the 2014

The arrival of the Ford Focus RS has been finalized 2014  with a four-cylinder turbo engine with displacement 2,3 liters and performance 335 horsepower. The third-generation RS will use the same engine as the European-spec Mustang which will be introduced on 2014, but with a slightly higher performance to win the battle of impressions in a category where the public always wants something more. With the finalization of the use of this engine, the scenarios of using electric motors on the rear axle for more power and less pollution were rejected. So there won't be some form of "four-wheel drive" like a hybrid arrangement could possibly offer. In the new Focus RS the hybrid scenarios came to an end. The required technology and above all the cost were prohibitive for a sport hatchback.

Apparently on gocar we have already presented you with the first processed photo so that you can get a small taste of what we expect. The Focus RS will feature Ford's Sound Symposer system, which controls the noise of the engine that reaches the cabin for greater enjoyment on sports routes. Like the predecessor, the new RS will feature the modified form of MacPherson struts known as RevoKnuckle thanks to which the offset of the kingpin is reduced, but also the angle of inclination of the royal pin, which cause the well-known "fishing" in the steering wheel during acceleration in front-wheel drive. With this arrangement, this phenomenon is minimized and of course the stress on the acrombars is reduced. The new generation Focus RS will also have a limited slip differential to limit the spin of the inner wheel in the "closed" parts without any other interference in engine management.

Ford's 1,000th EcoBoost in the new Focus as well

The new 3-cylinder Ecoboost engine of the 1.000 κ.εκ. of Ford makes its debut under the hood of the company's new small and medium model.
Low-displacement turbocharged engines have now entered our modern automotive everyday life for good. No compromises in performance, thanks to the help of their sophisticated turbochargers, but also with very significant advantages in terms of emissions and fuel economy, have already begun to... spread at breakneck speed, largely replacing many of their elders, in displacement, atmospheric engines. Faithfully following the path blazed by Ford's new engine family, named EcoBoost, the company is now officially launching the third version of this series, after the debut of the respective sets at 1,6 and 2,0 l, which currently yield from 150 until 240 horsepower. The reason, for the new 3-cylinder 1,000, who, initially, it is placed under the hood of the new Focus and soon after in the C-Max, Grand C-Max but also in the upcoming B-Max, which will probably be revealed for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show next March.

According to Ford's official announcements, said set will be available in two variants, the sales of which start already from 22 February in the market of M. Britain, that they will perform 100 and 125 horsepower. In other words, those that are currently produced by the known versions of their atmospheric engine 1,6 liters of Ford. In the smaller of its two versions, emissions amount to just 109 grams per kilometer, while the eldest just 5 extra grams. Their average consumption respectively ranges from just 4,8 and 5,0 liters for each 100 km. With impressively compact dimensions (SS.: according to Ford, the engine cylinder head is so small in size, so that it fits in a roll of A4 size paper!), the torque of the larger of its two variants amounts to 170 Nm, which are consistently assigned by the 1.400 up to 4.500 s.a.l., while in overboost mode, to the above price are added momentarily 30 additional Nm.
Commenting on the parchments of this new 3-cylinder engine, the company's executives point out that "the days when the number of cylinders dictated the performance of the engines are gone forever. This high-performance and technologically advanced engine is not only enjoyable to drive, but at the same time offers significant benefits in fuel economy and extremely low CO2 emissions, that lead to real cost reduction for our customers".
