Ford Focus RS design and development with Ken Block | Corpus Christi | McGraw Ford
The Ford Focus RS is a revered name in the world of performance vehicles, and its latest iteration promises to uphold that legacy with a blend of aggressive design and cutting-edge engineering. This inside look at the design and development of the Focus RS takes us from Ford's European headquarters in Cologne, Germany, to the test tracks of Arizona and the icy terrains of the Arctic. The journey involves a dedicated team striving to ensure the RS badge is rightfully earned. Rally and Gymkhana superstar Ken Block joins the RS team, providing insights and feedback as they craft a vehicle that balances form and function with an unmistakable performance story.
The Ford Focus RS is a testament to meticulous design and engineering. Led by Joel Paskowski, the head of design at Ford of Europe, the exterior of the RS is both aggressive and functional. The front end's design is a clear indication of its performance capabilities, with strategically placed openings to cool the radiator and intercooler, and additional slots around the fog lamps to direct airflow to the brakes. The large splitter and prominent spoiler are results of extensive aerodynamic testing, ensuring the vehicle remains balanced at high speeds. Unique 19-inch wheels, a functional diffuser, and dual exhausts enhance both aesthetics and performance. Inside, the RS features a dark, aggressive interior with performance blue accents on the steering wheel and gear knob, curated by interior designer Sharifa Chelby to reflect the car's bold character.
