The all-new Ford Focus RS pioneers the innovative Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive system, and delivers class-leading cornering speed, thrilling performance and unbridled driving enjoyment. The Focus RS also introduces advanced performance technologies, and is the first Ford RS equipped with selectable Drive Modes - including an industry-first Drift Mode - and Launch Control. With a 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine delivering in excess of 320 PS, the high-performance road car offers the most powerful Ford RS braking system ever. Through the years, RS models have consistently pioneered innovative performance technologies, from powerful naturally-aspirated and turbocharged powertrains and sophisticated aerodynamic aids to advanced front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive drivelines.

The Volkswagen Golf R is an icon of four-wheel drive compact sports cars. The turbocharged engine produces 221 kW / 300 PS of power and transfers up to 380 Nm torque to the permanent 4MOTION four-wheel drive system via its standard 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). The Golf R can be distinguished from the front by a new bumper design with exceptionally large air inlets, modified radiator grille (with "R" logo) and newly developed daytime running lights that are integrated into the housings of the bi-xenon headlights. From the side, the Golf R is characterized by newly designed 18-inch "Cadiz" alloy wheels with size 225/40 tires, black brake calipers with "R" logo, side sill panels in "R" style painted in body color, "R" badges on the front wings and "Matt chrome" door mirror caps. Rear details that define the look of the new Volkswagen Golf R include smoked LED rear lights with a distinctive light-colored stripe in the middle, diffuser in "R" design, four chrome tailpipes and an "R" logo on the boot lid. With a storage capacity of 605 liters, this Volkswagen offers an impressively large luggage area - even with five people on board.
