Provenance..
The launch of the Focus RS in 2002 marked the return of the RS badge to Ford’s performance range for the first time since the Escort RS Cosworth.
Developed with direct influence from Ford’s World Rally Championship programme, the Focus RS Mk1 drew heavily on the success and visibility of drivers such as Colin McRae, whose exploits helped define Ford’s rallying image during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Unlike its four-wheel-drive rally counterparts, the road-going Focus RS remained front-wheel drive but incorporated advanced engineering solutions to manage its performance, including a Quaife torque-biasing differential and extensively revised chassis geometry.
Chassis WF0BXXGCDB3J43343, registered PK53 FYA, represents an exceptionally preserved example of this modern Ford performance icon.
